Islamic Mosque near Ground Zero

Muslims want to build a Mosque for Allah at the site of 9/11 terrorist attacks.

U.S. lawmaker, Newt Gingrich, said "this is comparable to Nazis putting up a sign outside the Holocaust Museum."

Gingrich said "there should be no mosque near Ground Zero so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia."

U.S. Media went into frenzy against the building the Mosque at the terror site. Public across United States protested at the Islamic Centre planned for downtown Manhattan. American demonstrators expressed strong opposition to developers for intending to build an " Islamic citadel" right on top of Ground Zero with "sponsored by al-Qaida" written on its front.

The attack was led by evangelical Christians as well as by some politicians. It was said that this would be a "victory mosque", revelling in the glory of 9/11. In early September, Pastor Terry Jones threatened t burn 200 Qurans in protest at the mosque.

Pamela Geller and Geert Wilders led the campaign to stop the Ground Zero Mosque.
