    Building a Mosque near Ground Zero? Options?

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     mldepeine of Dunellen, NJ, tried to put himself in the shoes of both sides of the mosque controversy. 'I know it’s a very difficult issue. I’m hoping that the whole thing will be resolved where people who have been victims of Sept. 11 will feel that they were considered and the people who want to build it would hold off and build it somewhere else,' he said.
    - zdan, CNN iReport producer

    Every American has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Mosque issue and Ground Zero calls us to reflect on our American ideals and challenges us to connect with the pains of the wronged.  As we strive for a "more perfect union" lets continue to remember the phrase that we are our "brother's keeper."  All Americans can look out for any American regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic standing.
