In a last-chance effort to stop the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque," opponents were in court Tuesday arguing the building where the mosque is to be built should be a historic landmark -- thus making it ineligible for new construction.

STOP the Islamic Victory Mosque!!
Would such a mosque be entitled to amplify calls to prayer at certain times of day? You know, the stuff that Obama thinks is the most beautiful sound in the world...
The mosque will never be completed..
