A question of sense and sensibility

Should there be a mosque near Ground Zero?

The question about the mosque is not a religious question. It is also not a legal question. It may be connected with intricacies of local politics, and therefore it is, perhaps, just a matter for the NY City Council to discuss. From the outside, one can see it as a question of sense and sensibility. In the context of the recent past, building a mosque in this place is just a lack of tact.
