| Description | The controversial New York City proposed mosque, known as Cordoba House, made it past a large hurdle last week, when a city panel denied the site landmark status making the Ground Zero mosque one step closer to becoming a reality.
Ground Zero is in the district represented by Congressman Jerry Nadler, New York Democrat, who told me in late July, “My feeling is we have freedom of religion in this country. Its not the business of government (not state, not local, not federal government) to tell anybody where they may build a church, or a mosque, or a synagogue, because we don’t like them or anyone else,” he said. “If it’s within the zoning law, government should have nothing to say.”
Mr. Nadler would only tell me of those who were protesting the mosque, “Some of them, I appreciate their raw emotions, but I think they’re mistaken.” |
