Excerpt:
A mosque near ground zero?
The New York City community board endorsed the Cordoba House, a community center and mosque planned for construction near Ground Zero.
Significant opposition has emerged against the project. Sarah Palin even weighed in this weekend, tweeting, "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing."
Should there be a mosque near Ground Zero?
Should the Cordoba House organization have a right to erect a mosque near Ground Zero? Yes. Is it prudent for the group to pursue that right? I'm not so sure.
