It seems that the plans to build a mosque next to the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are going ahead. I think this is an absurd idea and don't even know how it is being endorsed. The project is apparently intended to foster better relations between the east and the west. Really? Maybe the idea in itself is not half bad, but the location is insulting, at least to me.

"A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive.

The 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Community Board 1's financial district committee."

There are quite a few people that are outraged by this idea, especially family members of loved ones that were lost that day.

"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," said retired FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches - whose son Jim, a firefighter, was killed on 9/11.

"If you ask me, it's a religion of hate," said Riches, who did not attend last night's meeting.

Rosemary Cain of Massapequa, L.I., whose son, Firefighter George Cain, 35, was killed in the 2001 attacks, called the project a "slap in the face."

"I think it's despicable. That's sacred ground," said Cain, who also did not attend the meeting.

"How could anybody give them permission to build a mosque there? It tarnishes the area."

I totally agree with these comments and don't understand why it has to be built in this particular spot.

Here's what the mosque will look like.

So what do you think about this? Is it ok for this construction to go ahead? Is it absurd? Insulting to the 9/11 families? Do you think it will create more tolerance or just make matters worse?
