A bit on the Islamic faith

disrespectful or progressive

It would seem that the topic of the mosque near ground zero isn't just striking me as a bit of bigotry in action.
In the post I linked to, it is said that people could see it as a "slap in the face" but isn't that a bit general?
Isn't that saying that every person who practices islam is/was involved with the attacks? 
I'm going to agree with the part on bigotry, but it just bothers me that people still view Muslims as a whole as responsible for the attacks.
Many Muslims are also American citizens, and some were effected by the attacks no doubt. 
But, mainly i just wanted to talk about the whole situation:
Islam isn't a faith built on violence. While it does reference violence in the Quran, it also brings in acts of huge charity.
I feel as though the situation could be remedied if people weren't so against learning about each other. There have been many things learned from the Western world and the Mid-East, why not go back to the days of peace and trade, as opposed to tensions and invasions?
