That's not forcing, that's wishful thinking. And it got a good response. A couple of friends of my girlfriend have been hinting at how much they fancy her and want her, but they've only succeeded in making themselves look like dicks.
Read it again, there was no forcing.

It could be to a point. My issue is with the description used by a few of the mainstream media outlets (BBC etc) who don't think twice about not mentioning the mosque, when it is the aspect which has caused the most controversy.
With Obama and other political leaders so quick to condemn the Christian burning a book, where are their condemnations of Islamists burning flags? Both are a symbol of nations or peoples.
That's where you're wrong - it's a Mosque within a 'community centre'

Yes it won't be right by Ground Zero. But it will be only 2 blocks away, in a building that was hit by some of the planes undercarriages, in an area that was covered with debris - both structural and human. The whole area should be considered a grave site to the hundreds of people whose bodies were never recovered, having been totally destroyed in the attacks.
The imam who wants to build the mosque, told CNN in an interview:
If we move from that location, the story will be the radicals have taken over the discourse. The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack… Our national security now hinges on how we negotiate this, how we speak about it."
Now that's a thinly veiled 'or else' threat if I ever heard one.
Yeah was a good round, enjoyed the few laps I completed

It's not like it's the only Mosque in the vicinity. There are plenty of others slightly further away (still within walking distance) they could use.
What if Christians wanted to turn an important building in Afghanistan into a parish centre? I don't think that'd go down too well. And it would be even less tolerated in Iran or Pakistan. The more we pander to them, the more they see the West as weak and willing to cave.

They haven't been rejected. Au contraire. What it sends out to the Islamist militants in the middle east, and the rest of the world, is "we destroyed the symbol of the West, now we build on it"
If that's not provocation I don't know what is. It's an attack on US sensitivities, and the reporting of it in the media which is seemingly sympathetic to the cause (BBC being a major contributing factor), has been dire.
True that.
Also, why all the uproar over the Christians in a small town burning a Koran, when there should be far more of an uproar (instead of pandering and fawning in the name of tolerance) at the plans by a big Muslim organisation with extremist links to build a huge mosque in very close proximity to Ground Zero? That, if anything, is an act of defiance and provocation.
