"I support mosques, obviously. We need churches, temples, mosques. Whatever people use to speak with their god or to receive spiritual inspiration is good for the country. But the symbolism of it at ground zero, within two blocks or three blocks, I believe is wrong"
- Peter King

However, he believes that the meaning of having a mosque so near to Ground Zero is wrong. He is not stating that the mosque ought to not be constructed, but rather that it should be built further far from the site of the 9/11 attacks. He is advocating for a considerate range in between the 2, as a sign of regard for those who lost their lives in the attacks. He is likewise stressing the value of religious freedom and the right of individuals to practice their faith without fear of discrimination.
