The 1st amendment and feedom of religion is not why alot of americans are upset over the building of this mosque.Its funny how the gov. has stepped up to defend the right for this mosque to be built but for over 2 years now has told the greek orthodox church members whom lost thier chruch in the 9/11 attack (it was located near the towers) that they cannot rebuild and reclaim thier place of worship.
Not true. No one has told them they can't rebuild. According to the Port Authority, the church has made unreasonable demands, which has stalled the project. According to the church, the Port Authority is now refusing to meet with them... but no one is saying that the church can't be rebuilt at some point.

Edit: here's a NYTimes article from March '09, well before any of this mosque controversy:
