I never wanted to restrict anything. Here, I'll quote myself again (emphasis added):

Why Aihwa? Why?

No, they shouldn't be denied rights. No one should. (See above.)

But if one of these terrorist groups decided to build a church right next to a site where they committed terrorist activities, I would say they have very poor judgement. Strangely enough, however, is the fact that every time an Islam-based army or terrorist group (from centuries ago, btw) conquered an area, they built a mosque over it, next to it, or in it (like in a city). It was common practice.

This isn't done much anymore because Islam isn't trying to conquer anyone (except those claiming all Jews must be completely annihilated), but I can't help but wonder if the real reason for this ground zero mosque is for that purpose. I'm just thinking out loud, though.
