Proponents of the project, said development plans of Islamic centers in the form of these buildings will change the image of the Manhattan street and the way Americans interact with Muslims, since nearly 3000 people were killed in the attack on 11September's. Telegraph, Monday (17/05/2010), reported that the mosque will be equipped with sports facilities, theaters, and daycare, and is open to all visitors to show that Muslims are part of the American community, not a separate element of society .
However, due to the location of the proposed mosque is only few steps from the gaping hole at Ground Zero, the plan was to make mad cash for a number of local residents. "Anger continues," writes www.nomosquesatgroundzero.wordpress.com web site with a close-up retuntuhan Twin Towers.
The site says, the existence of the Islamic center would "give the shadow of Ground Zero is not polite." Others compare it with the idea of building a German cultural center in Auschwitz. "(That's equal to) spit in the face of every person who died on 9 / 11," wrote Blitz, who describes himself as antijihad daily.
Unusual level of anger among New Yorkers who blame Islam rather than just Al Qaeda or other militant groups over the events 9 / 11 and the global confrontation against the United States. "This is the wrong environment to build a mosque," said Scott Rachelson (59) when he went to his office. Rachelson, who works with people who are seeking compensation for damages related to the attacks 9 / 11, says his life changed forever since the day when two hijacked planes crashed into Manhattan.
"I am here. For me, and all the people who are here, we are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder," he said. "It feels like just yesterday."
A woman who lived in the apartment next to the mosque's location plan, said he could not accept the project. "I'm lying if I said it does not make me a little nervous," said Jennifer Wood (36) when he brought his son for a walk.
