The same Islamic center the Tea Party were up in arms about a few years back, is it?
They built it? I thought they did not go through with it.
Sort of. They downsided their original plan and made it into a sort of Muslim equivalent of a Jewish Community Center. The owner also had some serious financial problems so we'll see if it doesn't get bought up and turned into condos for bankers before long.
I really never understood why that was controversial. An unindicted co-conspirator on the first World Trade Center attack runs a mosque in my neighborhood and nobody has a problem with that.
Because it was a
mosque.
But, let's get back on topic.
