"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:

Pro

1. Freedom of Religion to build where they choose

2. Muslims have always been in that area

3. It will build "bridges" among the different faiths in that area

4. Muslims were also killed in the attack

5. Site not actual part of ground zero

Con

1. Freedom of Religion not denied; there are more than 100 mosques in NYC

2. That location is hallowed ground; they are still finding bone fragments

3. The Imam has not denounced bin Laden, Hezbollah, other terrorist groups

4. Sensitivity - wounds are still too fresh to build anything Islamic near there

5. Ground zero - plane engine and debris from fallen towers landed on current structure's roof
