In his column on the Ground Zero mosque (“The Islamic Center,” Aug. 6), Rob Eshman leaves out one important point.

That is the way it will be presented to Muslims world wide if we permit it to be constructed. It will be used as a recruiting tool to encourage more Muslim youth to join the religious war being waged against us. It will undo one of our accomplishments in Iraq, and that is the killing of [at a minimum] 35,000 jihadists who would otherwise be waging war against us and all other non-Muslims all over the world.
