Ground Zero mosque controversy on the eve of 9/11 anniversary

  • 14 years ago
The planned construction of a 13-story Islamic center two blocks away from Ground Zero has gripped New York, and the nation, in a raging controversy. Families of 9/11 victims and conservative Americans see the center, which will include a mosque, as an affront to those who died in the September 11 attacks perpetrated by Islamic terrorists. New York Muslims and free speech activists defend the building as a symbol of American freedom, and an opportunity to help Americans see that not all Muslims are terrorists. Duration: 01:56.
