There is the best quote that for me sums up the complete issue.

N.Y. mosque debate threatens midterm elections - The Globe and Mail

“It's pretty clear that no one is thinking with a level head when it comes to the proposed mosque-cum-cultural center two blocks from Ground Zero,” Pamela Taylor, co-founder of Muslims for Progressive Values, wrote Tuesday in a Washington Post blog.
“That includes the Muslims who planned the project without seeking a great deal of community input, the religious fanatics who want everyone to follow their brand of Christianity, the Republicans who seem to have no problem fanning the flames of bigotry if it can win some voters this fall, even the President who came out in support of the mosque when talking to a group of Muslim leaders, but then backpedalled the next day opening himself to accusations of being wishy-washy and saying whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear.”
Bad idea to inflame the religious tensions by proposing a Mosque near where so many were killed in the name of Islam.

Bad idea to oppose it because the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion.

Bad idea for the right wingnuts to inflame the religious tensions for their own gains.

Bad idea for anyone to change positions depending on their audience.
