The 2 mosques in Lower Manhattan are 4 blocks ( founded in 1970) and 12 blocks ( founded 1985) from where the WTC stood.
The location of the new mosque is 3 blocks away...in the old Burlington Coat Factory.It is not a Ground Zero location, rather 2 blocks away and is near a Woolworth, St Pauls Chapel, St Peters Catholic Church, Tweed Courthouse and Oh God...one block away from J&R Music World...
Also near by is an Amish Market
Are we to zone off a 3-5-8 block radius of the remains of the World trade Center because someone we dont like wants to move in?
Because many people died there for no reason?
Are we to block off the spot on Rt 2/4 where John Smith or Jane Doe died so no cars run over the sacred spot where he/she died for no reason?
How about building a house over sacred gound belonging to native americans who died cause we didnt like them?
Or how about blocking NYC to all who we dont like?
The old Burlington Coat Factory is the location of the new mosque...The address is 45 Park Place...go look at a map....
At least 38 Muslims died in the WTC..a good number worked there....and were good Americans.
The Muslins of Lower Manhatten have been using the building all ready...and no one complaind until now...Go figure....another case of Obama Bashing...\
Read a bit more before you comaplin more.
Oh, The spot where the first American was killed by a British soldier that was called "The Bloody Massacre in King Street". on March 3, 1770..and that man was a free black man...who was killed by the British for no reason....and guess what...the place where he died and spilled blood in now in the middle of the road in downtown Boston.
