On the eve of expected city approval of a mosque and Islamic center two blocks from Ground Zero, backers of the project are pledging to include a memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks as part of an effort to allay opponents' complaints that the mosque's location is insensitive.
"We've heard and felt their pain, and we're extending ourselves," said Daisy Khan, a partner in the building and the wife of the cleric leading the effort. "We want to repair the breach and be at the front and center to start the healing."

“If this becomes a monument to anything, it will be for the stupidity of the citizens of the United States.”
Sadly, yes.
We are being tested as never before. And the results will determine our fate as the United States of America or.......something else.
*No, we MUST NOT. This nation was not built by defeatists, and MUST not be left in their care. Stop sitting there accepting defeat, and get active!*
This is not America we’re talking about—this is New York. A city with no soul run by whoever’s pouring the money in this week—too stupid and stoned to realize that the fist holding the money wants to smash their faces in.
Not very different from Washington, DC, then.
These poeple are pure evil! If this unholy structure is ever built, i hope it gets utterly destroyed!
muslims delight,laugh and brag when they pull one over infidels.
In related news...the gilt memorial monument for Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold is now under construction in the lobby of Columbine High.

The Persians did the same thing on the Temple Mount. Muslim Caliph Umar, shortly after his occupation of the city, cleansed the Temple Mount and built a mosque for muslim worship. Soon after Mohammed died, the muslim conquerers built the Dome of Rock to overshadow the Christian Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is Islam’s modus operandi and nothing is new with the goings on at our World Trade Center site today. Wake up America. Let’s support the Israelis’ rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple on the Mount in its original grandeur.
They better because if all the Explosives and Ammunition goes up it can cause quite a Mess
Get out of America. You are not wanted here.
Your defeatist attitude needs adjusting. You sound like some cartoon character that’s always moaning,”We’re doomed”. Of course the country has way too many people who will accede to this. That’s why it’s so damned important that you GET ENERGIZED and SPEAK UP!!!!!!!!!! Be an active part of the sculpting process, or just be so much damnable clay in the hands of a sinister potter.
BUNK.
It’ll be like the paintings on school walls Saddam did showing the planes slamming into the towers with the phrase “Praise Allah” in Farsi.
That mosque is a symbol of them conquering the area! It may be just one but there will be many more to follow!!!
