Suffice to say, the NRA did not receive the same level of criticism that you currently see of the Cordoba project when they held a rally in Columbine mere days after the shootings. But you say that "showing arms" would be insensitive. I would agree but what about even having them? It isn't like the Cordoba project is erecting a big minaret with an amplified muezzin that would be blaring the call to prayer over the WTC site. They are building a community center. It isn't an "in for face" gesture the way that, say, open carry in front of Columbine High School would be.
