Mosque Row: zero tolerance at Ground Zero

The United States prepares to mark the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks amid a growing row over plans to build an Islamic cultural centre near the site of Ground Zero. While opponents call the project pure provocation, defenders say this is a matter of freedom of religion.

Thank you Dr.Zogby the program this morning on C-Sapn has been informative. Please e-mail me about the location and the purpose of the mosque. Listening to your program this morning I turned in late and received part of the commentary provided. The major news outlets have not been obective and fair in their reporting. Thank you are Americans and we are a country of many religions and diversity.
