The Muslims have, as everyone else says, the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying, though, is that they should listen to public opinion, they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people.

Summary

This quote suggests that while Muslims have the right to practice their religion and build a mosque at ground zero, it is important for them to consider public opinion and the emotions it may evoke among those affected. It calls for a listening and empathetic approach, acknowledging the pain and hurt experienced by many people due to the proposed construction. The author argues that although Muslims have the right, it is crucial to be cognizant of the impact their decision may have on the wider community.
