Dear Editor:

Rights and responsibilties. The Muslims have the right to practice their religion, but with that right comes the responsibility to do it compassionately. To place a mosque near Ground Zero is far from being compassionate. Feelings of families who lost loved one have not been taken into consideration by the president, the mayor and the Muslims. These devout people should show some compassion with actions. Move on and find another location.
