“The Muslims think they won and deserve a victory mosque.”
They will have won if they can get this mosque built before there is any new building constructed at the site of the WTC.
I've wondered out loud before and will do so again, whether the people behind the Victory Mosque have had anything to do with the quarreling and quibbling that has slowed the building of the Freedom Tower to a crawl and induced massive dissension about what should be built in the first place.
Of course, New Yorkers quibbled and piked for years over the base of the Statue of Liberty, which they were asked to contribute to the statue's construction.
