Plans to build an Islamic cultural center near the World Trade Center site moved forward after New York City?s Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to allow the demolition of a building that would be replaced by a mosque.

The panel denied landmarks status to a long-vacant 152- year-old lower Manhattan building on Park Place, formerly a Burlington Coat Factory department store. The unanimous vote cleared a hurdle for the site to be torn down and the mosque, recreation and cultural center to be built.

The proposed mosque has drawn opposition from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who have called its proposed presence near the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history inappropriate. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn have supported the project.

?To cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists,? Bloomberg said at a news conference today. ?No neighborhood in our city is off limits to God?s love and mercy.?

I like the idea, but Idk that it's appropriate on Ground Zero.
I can kind of se why that might be a little slap in the face for some people.

All that should be there is a memorial, IMO.

It's not on ground zero, it's several blocks away.

But I don't think it would be giving the terrorists "victory". We're actually being the bigger person by being tolerant.

Maybe not, but a great majority of terrorists do pray at mosques.

Whatever happened to the plans to build the so-called "Freedom Tower" on the site of Ground Zero? It doesn't take 9 years to construct a building. And now their allowing this to be built so close to the place where many died at the hands of Muslim terrorists? Disgusting. How about we allow Jews to build a synagogue on Calvary Mt.? Does that make sense? Jews killed Jesus!!

So because Muslim terrorists carried out 9/11 all Muslims are terrorists?

Right stop allowing Spanish restaurants to be built because of ETA and how dare the Irish open a new bar??!! They're obviously all members of the IRA.

Ummm...I don't even know where to start on this one.
Never heard of the Freedom Tower, I'll have to look that one up. But it can take 9 years to construct a building when a large group of people have to agree on how it's going to be built.
As far as equating the Muslims and 9/11 with the Jews and Calvary...your argument is actually kind of accurate in that not all Jews were responsible for Jesus' death just as not all Muslims were not responsible for 9/11.
And as far as your Christianity is concerned, you do realize that God hasn't rejected the Israelites (aka Jews) as His chosen people, don't you?
