Like not burning the books.
I think I get your point though. Building the mosque at ground zero is going to anger a lot of people. So, instead of causing a riot in New York and angering a LOT of people, whoever building it should consider sacrificing for the greater good and building somewhere else.
Just like the pastor should just shut the hell up, and not burn the books because all he's doing is putting a lot of Americans around the world at risk.
But, I don't think the situations are comparable. I personally don't believe the mosque is intentionally being built to piss people off. But the books ARE being burned for the sole purpose of pissing off the Islam world.
If the worst thing the US has to worry about is someone paying millions of dollars to build a mosque close to ground zero I'd say they are pretty well off.
