Highly Recommended Articles and Excellent Arguments On Park51

With the Park51 debate refusing to quell, and a whopping 61% of Americans opposed to the community center (http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2011799,00.html), there have been countless arguments made in support and against the center. I know some may have already read a few or even all of these articles, but for the sake of putting the Park51 controversy to rest, I wanted to share the four best arguments I have read on the situation. They come from a range of sources, but they are all well articulated and really get down to the "meat" of the issue.
