Political Firestorm over Quran Burning

Recently Rev. Terry Jones made accusations he would burn the Muslim Quran on September 11th in retaliation for the attacks on that day back in 2001.
He is the leader of his small Christian conjuration. This announcement has sparked major political outrage over his claim, spanning from the Pope all the way to General David Patraeus. Patraeus says that Jones' proposed plan could threaten the lives of many troops currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Retaliation from extremist could be dangerous and deadly to any troops. He is now 'rethinking' his claim and has sat down with a Muslim leader and are now discussing the relocation of the proposed mosque in New York City, near the site of the September 11th attacks back on 2001.
Talks are currently in session on the re-location and real-estate mogul Donald Trump as offered up to buy the property from the muslim owners and prevent the building of the mosque.
In my belief, the mosque should be moved to a different location because of its close proximity to the fallen  towers. The supporters of this mosque should be more considerate of the victims families who lost so much on the day and still have a tough time overcoming the issue.
