This 100 million $ Islamic center is becoming a topic of hot discussion and division in USA.

Obama kissed his re-election good bye by supporting this center.

There are 3 mosques around this site and the promoters insist on building it there. They quote their freedom to build/perform prayers at any location of their choice.

While the people who are against this are not questioning their right but asking for their sensitivity against such a disaster and how the families of the people who lost their lives during the disaster and later due to injuries.

The Imam is missing and the people who are in the forefront defending this all seem to be immigrants from India.

THE REAL FISHY STUFF ABOUT THIS EPISODE IS THAT WHY ARE PROMOTERS SO MUCH INSISTING ON THIS SITE, WHERE DID THEY GET THE USD 100 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT.

The promoters have also gone around the world asking for money specifically saying that they are building a mosque at 9-11 site.

Is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia involved anyway in this?.

May be we are creating another Babri Masjid in US of A.

People never learn from History!.

Jihad by stealth, or just tasteless?
By MINDY JACOBS, QMI Agency

Last Updated: August 17, 2010 2:00am

Tolerance may be a treasured western ideal but it is the height of chutzpah to build a 13-storey mosque and Muslim community centre two blocks from where almost 3,000 people were murdered by Islamic terrorists.

By all means, build more mosques. If a modern, enlightened interpretation of Islam is to grow and flourish, nurtured by educated clerics unafraid of critical inquiry, North America is undoubtedly where change will occur.

But why erect Cordoba House in the shadow of the destroyed Twin Towers? Of all the places to build, why there?

I tend to agree with commentator Daniel Pipes, who says the initiative “carries the unmistakable odour of Islamic triumphalism.”

Muslims have historically asserted the supremacy of Islam through architecture, building on the top of monuments of other faiths, Pipes has written.

The al-Aqsa mosque (and later the Dome of the Rock) were built where the Jewish temples once stood after Muslims occupied ancient Israel, for instance. In the 16th century, the Babri Masjid mosque was built in India on a site considered sacred by Hindus. (Hindu extremists destroyed it in 1992).

More recently, the Taliban destroyed two giant statues of Buddha in 2001, to the horror of the worldwide community.

So you can understand why some of the fiercest critics of the location of the planned Ground Zero mosque are calling the initiative jihad by stealth.

The idea that Cordoba House is some kind of beachhead for a Shariah-inspired takeover of America is absurd, of course, and that kind of fear mongering simply feeds the flames of the Islamic radicals and their insane dream of a clash of civilizations. Nevertheless, constructing a mosque that close to Ground Zero is insensitive and unnecessary.

The larger worry, though, is the internal Muslim clash — the ongoing and often violent disagreement over how to interpret the Qur’an and live as a Muslim in the 21st century. And, as with any faith that has split into divisive sects over the centuries, it’s primarily about power and control. Muslims will have to figure out their future by themselves, hopefully sooner rather than later.

As Ayaan Hirsi Ali writes in her new book Nomad: “The Muslim mind needs to be opened. Above all, the uncritical Muslim attitude toward the Qur’an urgently needs to change, for it is a direct threat to world peace.”

The fact that Hirsi Ali has faced death threats and must travel with a security team because she has denounced militant Islam and the misogyny of tribal practices is a chilling indication of the dire need for a Muslim reformation.

This is where Cordoba House could play a crucial role.

Trying to stop its construction would be a political nightmare. The Cordoba House website describes the project as “a home for all people who are yearning for understanding and healing, peace, collaboration, and interdependence.”

So if the 13-storey edifice is going to be built, make it an interfaith centre and invite members of any religion to book a multi-purpose room for prayer or interfaith sessions. Install a 9/11 memorial.

Fill the library with books about all faiths. Make a point of reaching out to Jews and Ahmaddiyya Muslims — two groups that have been particularly scorned by rabidly intolerant Muslims.

And be scrupulously transparent about the source of the $100 million in funding. The oh-so-tolerant Saudis? Wonder what kind of Islam they’re demanding in return.

I just found a kazi for that Mosque , and he is none other than Osama Bin Laden.
May be after that mosque there the area would be preserved from future bombing. It seems obama is thinking on these lines.
