A mosque at Ground Zero?

Here's The Telegraph on the subject:

'An ambitious plan to build a mosque next to New York's Ground Zero has angered residents of the city.

Supporters of the project say the planned multi-storey Islamic centre would transform both the drab lower Manhattan street and the way Americans have interacted with Muslims since nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks on September 11, 2001.

...

But because of the proposed mosque's location, just around the corner from the gaping Ground Zero hole, the plan has upset some locals.

"The outrage continues," says website www.nomosquesatgroundzero.wordpress.com under a close-up of the collapsing Twin Towers.

The protest site says the centre will "cast a rude shadow over Ground Zero."

Others compared the idea to building a German cultural centre at Auschwitz.

"Spitting in the Face of Everyone Murdered on 9/11," writes Blitz, a self-described "anti-jihadist newspaper."

That level of anger is not uncommon among New Yorkers who blame Islam, rather than just Al-Qaeda or other militant groups, for 9/11 and the global confrontation with the United States.'

Reminds me of the Flight 93 memorial outrage... For more about that subject take a look here, here and here.
