Conservative talk show hosts and the former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, have spoken out against plans to build a mosque and Islamic center close to Ground Zero, the site of 9/11.
Their opinion is based on the false premise that this group must consist of radical, terrorist-supporters who want to offend 9/11 victims. Instead, the Muslims behind the mosque project are peaceful moderates who want to show other Americans that they have no connection to the terrorists.
And, who can forget that at least 60 Muslims died on September 11th? The "Ground Zero Mosque," as critics have dubbed it, can be a reminder of how terrorists see all Americans as their enemy. And perhaps, the mosque will give us hope for the future.
