Cordoba House is, of course, the Muslim Community Center to be built in Lower Manhattan, which will include a mosque.

From the HuffPo article accompanying the vid:

From 45 Park Place, the former Burlington Coat Factory building that will make way for the Cordoba House, it's two blocks, around a corner, to get to the WTC site. Park Place doesn't lie between the construction site and any mass transit stations, so you would need to go out of your way to have it offend you.

Pretty much sums up the whole damn "issue," doesn't it?

But that's the specialty of religious and political groups across the country!

4. Who cares what is the distance

This is America. If you want to build a shrine to whatever on property you lawfully control, then go right ahead.
