[[Dick Morris]] summed up the heart of the matter quite succinctly:
{{cquote|'''The proposed mosque near to ground zero is not really a religious institution. It would be — as many mosques throughout the nation are — a terrorist recruitment, indoctrination and training center. ''It is not the worship of [[Islam]] that is the problem.'' It is the efforts to advance [[Sharia Law]] with its requirement of [[Jihad]] and violence that is the nub of the issue. <ref>[http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/ground-zero-mosque-the-real-issue/ Dick Morris; GROUND ZERO MOSQUE: THE REAL ISSUE</ref>}}
