Submitted by lmcisaac on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 5:04pmThe planned construction of a Muslim Community Center in Lower Manhattan, two blocks north of ground zero, has morphed into a heated national controversy about 9/11, Islam and the freedom of religion. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has defended the project as a symbol of America's religious tolerance. The Anti-Defamation League, a mainstream, influential Jewish organization, opposes it, arguing that the organizers' choice of a site is insensitive and would cause unnecessary anguish to victims of 9/11.
