Inte ofta jag blir förbannad, men detta gjorde mig riktigt "pissed off". Förstår inte hur folk tänker. Frågan är hur många amerikanare som står bakom detta beslutet, fast iofs i ett land där pengar är allt så spelar det kanske mindre roll?In a building damaged by debris from the Sept. 11 airliners that brought down the World Trade Center and soon to become a 13-story mosque, some see the bridging of a cultural divide and an opportunity to serve a burgeoning, peaceful religious population. Others see a painful reminder of the religious extremism that killed their loved ones.
Anything having to do with that day, that place, carries enormous meaning. Now two Islamic organizations have partnered to build something that they say will bring some good from something very bad.
Organizers say the project will create a venue for mainstream Islam and a counterbalance to radicalism. It earned a key endorsement this week from influential community leaders.
"This is a community center, a community and cultural center, which would include certainly prayer space for Muslims and we hope for non-Muslims as well, to bring about a new discourse in the relationship between the United States, New York City, and the Muslim world," said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of the Cordoba Initiative.
Precis vaknat efter att ha sovit i stort sett sen 21oo igår. Så mycket för mina planer på att sitta upp länge i helgen. Det var samma sak i fredags. Nåja, det är snart lite längre helg. Alltid något!
