Ground Zero Mosque Builders Seek Grant From 9/11 Relief Fund
After most of the people following the issue of the mosque at Ground Zero thought the tension had subsided, they're in for a new treat. The builders of the mosque earlier this month applied for a $5 million dollar grant from a fund designated to help rebuild NYC after the attacks. Anyone familiar with the forces behind the mosque as well as it's potential Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, would view this as a complete disgrace.
This request is extremely surprising considering the tension surrounding the situation. Seventy percent of Americans are against the mosque at Ground Zero, and it is my assumption that even more would be against the use of public funds to build it. This is like the Japanese asking the United States for a grant to build an airport after they just bombed Pearl Harbor. For the sake of justice, this grant should never be granted.
