do they have the right - yes.
Is it insensitive to do this in that location - I think so, and so do a lot of Americans.
What adds on to this is most Americans, including me, do not see the "non - terrorist" muslims being vocal or providing any leadership in the fight against terrorism. So its a one way street - we want the religious freedom to build where we want but we are not with "america" in your fight.
If this was a muslim center for understanding or peace or human rights, etc - I think you'd see a different reaction.
