Somewhat surprising considering the media coverage, but a plurality of American Muslims oppose the Ground Zero Mosque at its proposed location. 43% say build on the current location, 30% say change the mosque to an interfaith institution, and 14% say find another location.

As Michael Totten points out:

This tells us two things. Opposition to the project isn’t based on mere bigotry. And American Muslims are not a monolith.

The media should be more subtle and nuanced!
