What is the controversy in New York City over a Muslim mosque?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
An Islamic cultural center (not a mosque) is supposed to be constructed two blocks away from Ground Zero (where the Twin Towers were), and some people feel that it's inappropriate, given that the towers were destroyed by radical Islamic terrorists.
Newt Gingrich says (at the first Related Link below) that, "Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum." But, as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said recently, "Islam did not attack the World Trade Center -- Al-Qaeda did."
A more appropriate analogy would be, it's like building a German cultural center next to a Holocaust Museum. Not all Germans are Nazis, just like not all Muslims are terrorists.
