More articles related to the mosque issue
Aug. 5th, 2010 12:53 am
Once again, let me repeat the main points here:
1. It's not a mosque. It's a cultural center, with, yes, a mosque attached, kinda like having a small chapel appended to your YMCA.
2. It's not at the WTC. It's a few blocks away - which is not NEARLY as close as you think.
And, because I see this in the comments a lot in various articles:
3. It's proposed to be there because there are a lot of Muslims who work in Lower Manhattan! Of course, wherever "there" is, it would be the wrong spot to some of these people, that much should be blatantly obvious even to them.
First link
Second - this one is very informative
