Public Hearing held over status of proposed Mosque at Ground Zero in New York
NEW YORK—Tension rose this Tuesday during a Landmark Preservation public hearing as many expressed strong opinions over whether 45–47 Park Place—the proposed building site for a mosque near ground zero—should be granted historical landmark designation. The full post can be read at the Epoch Times
The proposed construction of an Islamic Mosque on the 9/11 site has caused much unrest in New York.
On Sunday, June 6th, a multi-ethnic, multi-racial coalition of Americans opposed to Islamic violence and intolerance rallied at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City to protest construction of a Islamic mosque at Ground Zero.
CNN covered the story on June 7th.
New York (CNN) -- Protesters gathered in lower Manhattan mid-day Sunday to demonstrate against plans to build a mosque near the site of Ground Zero, where the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by Islamist hijackers on September 11, 2001.
Protest organizer Pamela Geller, a conservative blogger, and her group, "Stop the Islamicization of America," planned the event because, according to the group's website, "Building the Ground Zero mosque is not an issue of religious freedom, but of resisting an effort to insult the victims of 9/11 and to establish a beachhead for political Islam and Islamic supremacism in New York... Ground Zero is a war memorial, a burial ground. Respect it."
What do you think? Is it appropriate to build a Mosque at Ground Zero? Or, should the site be preserved as a war memorial?
