Mosque by Ground Zero Moral?

After 9/11 our society is now more suspicious and may take great offense to anything and everything Muslim. Laurie Goodstein states:

"While a high-profile battle rages over a mosque near ground zero in Manhattan, heated confrontations have also broken out in communities across the country where mosques are proposed for far less hallowed locations."  LAURIE GOODSTEIN.

How would you feel if you lost a loved one in the 9/11 attack? How would you feel if after 9/11 you had to drive by a Mosque only a couple blocks from the place your loved one was murdered? There are many people in this situation who have a very good reason to protest against and express hatred toward the building of these mosques, especially the one by ground zero. I understand that freedom of religion is a right in this country. But does that mean its morally right to build this mosque so close to where Muslim's brought terror and death to our nation? Muslims do have their rights and they should be able to practice their religion as they please, but building a mosque so close to ground zero is morally wrong and may be labeled as offensive in the eyes of many Americans. I believe that the building of this mosque will only increase the fear and hatred towards the Muslim race. Why does the mosque need to be built so close to ground zero? The building of this mosque will negatively impact the peaceful co-existence between Americans and Muslims.
