The 9/11 Mosque
A new structure is set to rise at Ground Zero in New York City. However, it's not a memorial to the thousands brutally murdered there in 2001 by Islamic extremists, and it's not an office building to house revitalized American business. No, it's a mosque. Writing for Family Security Matters, Gary Adelman notes that the Community Board of Lower Manhattan unanimously approved the construction of a 13-story, $100 million mosque and community center just two blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. Beyond boasting questionable funding sources, the project -- proposed by the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) and its sister organization, the Cordoba Initiative -- shows complete disregard for the lives taken on September 11, and for those left behind.

Rosemary Cain, whose firefighter son George Cain was killed on 9/11, described the project as "a slap in the face. I think it's despicable. That's sacred ground. How could anybody give them permission to build a mosque there? It tarnishes the area." Retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches, who son Jim -- also a firefighter -- died in the attacks, stated, "I realize it's not all of them, but I don't want to have to go down to a memorial where my son died on 9/11 and look at a mosque. If you ask me, it's a religion of hate."

Adelman asks, "Have we lost our minds so much that we have moved to erecting monuments to perpetrators and not victims?" With this project, it seems, we have our answer.
