Is the NYC mosque still being built?

As of September 10th, 2010, Park51, the Islamic community center about two blocks from Ground Zero, is still planned to be built.


Who is trying to build the mosque near ground zero?

There is a plan by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to build an Islamic Community Center about two blocks outside of the ground zero site. The Community Center at 51 Park Place would be much closer to (for example) the New York Dolls Gentlemen's Club and the Dakota Roadhouse than to the Freedom Tower site. At 13 stories, the Community Center would be about 1/10 the height of Freedom Tower on the Ground Zero site.


What are they building at ground zero?

Not ON ground zero but it is planned to be built 2 blocks away from the site. Also, technically, it's an Islamic cultural center. And everyone's freaking out about it, even though it wasn't the entire Muslim population that bombed the Trade Center.


Is there a petition against the mosque near ground zero?

Yes, in the sense that people are arguing about it. No in the sense that there is no mosque, it's actually a Muslim community center that has a worship area in it and it is actually quite a ways away from ground zero.

What is the ground zero masque issue?

When the 9/11 happened people automatically blamed Muslims, and since the Islamic center an mosque is made for Muslims, ( and near the deaths of so many people, who people assumed that Muslims did this ) so having a mosque near ground zero didn't exactly make them happy


What is Ground zero in New York?

World Trade Center Plaza.


Was a mosque located in The World Trade Center before 911 happened?

The planned Islamic community centre will be two blocks from 'Ground Zero', further from the site than one already existing nearby. As to why in that part of the city: because it is the people in that part of the city who want it built, and that happens to be the site they have obtained for building the centre on.


What is the current name of the place where The World Trade Center once stood?

What is going on with 9.11 and the mosque?

"Mosque" isn't the correct term for the planned structure near "ground zero" in NYC, although many people are calling it that. Plans are for an Islamic community center which will also have a prayer room. There are two camps, pro and con, for a center to be located that close to where the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorist Muslims but the reasons vary:Pro1. Freedom of Religion to build where they choose2. Muslims have always been in that area3. It will build "bridges" among the different faiths in that area4. Muslims were also killed in the attack5. Site not actual part of ground zeroCon1. Freedom of Religion not denied; there are more than 100 mosques in NYC2. That location is hallowed ground; they are still finding bone fragments3. The Imam has not denounced bin Laden, Hezbollah, other terrorist groups4. Sensitivity - wounds are still too fresh to build anything Islamic near there5. Ground zero - plane engine and debris from fallen towers landed on current structure's roof
