American Ground Zero Mosque Controversy Continues

The "Ground Zero" mosque, aka Park51 aka "9/11 Mosque" remain extremely controversial and potentially divisive for a group of people who have a hard time getting along as it is. Muslims within the New York community are faced each day with animosity from those who cannot get over the heinous 9/11 attacks.

Therefore, it's not surprising at all that when plans became known to erect an Islamic community center 300 yards from the Ground Zero memorial, it felt like a slap in the face to New York.

While the constitutional right exists to build the mosque in that location, many think that it is inappropriate.

A recent poll said that 67% of people thought that the mosque should be moved to a different location. In addition, one out of five New Yorkers polled admitted to having animosity against Muslims.

A recent mosque fire in Tennessee goes to show that the tensions are building and people are starting to act out.

What is going to happen to the Ground Zero mosque? Should it be moved, or should the group stand their ground?

Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama “Anti-American”

Rush Limbaugh says that President Obama is the first “Anti-American” president. Limbaugh is a controversial conservative who has recently made Facebook fame for his wedding photos.  However, Limbaugh spoke his mind and called the president “Anti-American.”

The issue lies with the 9/11 “Ground Zero” mosque. There has been much controversy over the American president claiming that the Muslims have the fundamental “right” to build a place of worship on private property near where radical Islamists flew two planes into the World Trade Center in 2001.

Obama has received much criticism, as while it may be “legal” for the Muslims to build their mosque near that place, it’s not respectful of the thousands of lost American lives which happened on that day.

Limbaugh received criticism for his remarks, as expected. On Reddit, the following was proclaimed about Rush’s recent rant:

Limbaugh sarcastically suggests that we build a Hindu Temple next to Pearl Harbor and a Mosque next to the Pentagon... without realizing that Shinto, not Hinduism, is the most common religion in Japan , and there is already a Mosque inside the Pentagon and a Shinto temple next to Pearl Harbor .

The controversy into the 9/11 mosque continues.
