Controversy Over Tragic Ground

Tenth Anniversary Of 9/11

Ten years ago today, 2,700 Americans lost their lives to terrorist attacks. "Ground Zero" is the land on which the Twin Towers used to stand. To many Americans, the sight is a constant reminder of all who's lives were lost and the war that has raged from those who hurt are fellow Americans. Some might wonder, can ten years heal old wounds? The recent controversy over what can be built and who can build on or near ground zero, goes to show sometimes it takes more than time to forgive and heal. What was all the controversy over? Park51, an Islamic Mosque that is hoped by the Islamic / Muslim Community to be built near ground zero. Many questioned have expressed mixed feelings, as read in this New York Times article "Islamic Center Exposes Mixed Feelings Locally". Whether you are on the side of forgiveness and moving forward, or believe the Mosque is a slap in the face to America, I encourage you to become as knowledgeable as possible. To be unbiased, open minded, and as clearly informed as possible before forming your opinion.
