IT IS NOT A MOSQUE. It is a Community Center for all residents/religions, which has the support of the community, community Board, and local politicians, that is until Fox News politicized this and it became a "problem."

I think about half of New Yorkers were opposed, with a slightly majority opposed. A majority of Mannhattanites were in favor.

The local community board voted in favor of it. That should've ended the discussion once and for all.

Heck no! It is disrespectful, they should build it far away from the Ground Zero, not near Ground Zero.
