To antagonize many Americans isn't the way Muslims should be trying to set good examples of how they really are. I'd just drop this building site and find another location or a building that is already built and convert it.
This is well stated. Better to show Americans by undoing their actions in other areas, and when this is seen, let the Americans decide and invite a mosque. I still maintain the Mosque should be removed first from Jerusalem - otherwise there is no other explanation other than condoning genocide for the Jewish nation. Of note here is the same thing occured in India - a mosque was erected in the most holy site of the Hindus - and it was finally destroyed. A mosque in Jerusalem is akin to erecting a Mosque on the Vatican site.
