Doh....my bad, it is in the article Sam posted. However, I still do not see the connection. The church can rebuild on the old site (the article says that as well). Again, its not a matter of whether thy can or should re-build, it a matter of where the money is coming from. If the mosque was getting money from the PA then not only would the stories be related, but I would be on the side of the church.
As it stands, the only thing stopping the church from rebuilding is money, not zoning laws, or people thinking its too close to Ground Zero, its money, or the lack there of, nothing else.
