Juan Cole hates Jews? Are you reading the same Juan Cole I've been reading, or is there something wrong with your self-to-reality interface?

Besides which, it's not a mosque, for fuck's sake -- it's basically a Y (as in the former YMCA), and it's not at the former WTC site (it's two blocks away, which, in Manhattan distances, might well be on another planet).
Besides which again, the group in question that wants to develop Park 51 owns the site and since when are Americans into telling the lawful owners of property what they may or may not do with that property, excepting compliance to the same rules and regulations as everyone else has to follow, huh?
