Mosque to open at Ground Zero in NYC

Quote:

A mosque rises over Ground Zero. And fed-up New Yorkers are crying, "No!"
A chorus of critics -- from neighbors to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 to me -- feel as if they've received a swift kick in the teeth.
Plans are under way for a Muslim house of worship, topped by a 13-story cultural center with a swimming pool, in a building damaged by the fuselage of a jet flown by extremists into the World Trade Center.
The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city's heart.

...

Called Cordoba House, the mosque and center is the brainchild of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. Executive director Daisy Khan insists it's staying put.
"For us, it's a symbol, a platform that will give voice to the silent majority of Muslims who suffer at the hands of extremists. A center will show that Muslims will be part of rebuilding lower Manhattan," said Khan, adding that Cordoba will be open to everyone.

Even Jews?

Anyway, I'll just leave this here....

Wow. Interesting. Kinda ballsy of them! I bet it will be subject to protest and vandalism.

"Muslim Advancement"

So what exactly have they "advanced" in the last oh, decade or so?

Pyramids!

What better way to make sure they don't bomb it again? Put a mosque in it! It works.

yeah because we all know it was Islam that flew into those buildings...

and there were no muslim firefighters that died or muslims employees that died in the WTC buildings

The "reserved" prejudices here is quite vexatious

I believe what they're are trying to say is to advance the way people in america think of Muslims beyond "OMFG IT"S A DUDE IN A TURBAN HE"S A TERRORIST!!!!!"

Don't see how building a mosque at ground zero will change the way people perceive Muslims after 9/11, radical/peaceful religion or not.

It's already been asked, but will Jews be allowed in this so-called "cultural center"? I know there are a few in Manhattan.

Ok i just found this out so i had to resurrect this thread...

THIS MOSQUE / COMMUNITY CENTRE isn't ON GROUND ZERO its ONLY NEARBY

^ she is spitting out the same spiel as Geert Wilders.
