When it started is irrelevant. The fact of what the Imam is adds fuel to the fire
And yes many people had a knee jerk emotional reaction...not to a Mosque being build anywhere but so close to ground zero. I think a lot of Americans empathize with them. I don't think it is wise to stoke those emotions.
