Should we care where the 911 mosque money comes from?

Here's a good issue for Complete Las Vegans to ponder over the weekend. New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg says he doesn't care -- and government shouldn't care -- where the money comes from to build a mosque two blocks from 911 Ground Zero. Some suggest that the mosque will be seen as an extension of the Muslim tradition to build monuments at the sites of their "victories". Remember that his predecessor, Rudy Giuliani, refused to take $10 million in 911 disaster relief funds from a Saudi prince after the prince suggested that America was partially at fault for 911. Slightly different situations, of course, but close enough to merit a little thinking.

Should we care?
