Steel Beam Cross at Ground Zero, NYC There's been a lot of talk and anger about the proposed building of a mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero in NY. Actually, it's NOT 2 blocks from Ground Zero because the building was actually hit by falling landing gear from one of the jets that slammed into the Twin Towers on 9/11 so that actually makes it part of Ground Zero. But is it right or wrong? Should they be allowed to build it there?Should this particular Imam be allowed to build a mosque anywhere?We, the USA, YOUR TAX $$, are sending this Imam on official business around the Middle East representing the US... Is this right?We, the USA, YOUR TAX $$,...
