Center-Right Publication Agrees with Palin's "9/11 Mosque" Description of Controversial Mosque
From the National Review:Keith Olbermann is angry at Sarah Palin?s new name for the Ground Zero mosque, n.k.a. the 9/11 mosque. Olbermann tweets:RT @SarahPalinUSA Will Obama express US lingering pain& ask Muslims for tolerance by discouraging 9/11 mosque /Madam:Stop politicizing 9/11I wonder, by what definition could we call this the ?9/11 mosque?? Maybe if the organizers of the project chose this site specifically because it was damaged during 9/11? Would that count? USA Today from May 10 (emphasis mine):But the growing number of congregants at the only other nearby mosque, open only one day a week, created a need for an additional space for Muslim prayer in the neighborhood, said Daisy Khan, the executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and a board member of the Cordoba Initiative, the two organizations sponsoring the project.The history associated with the building, a former Burlington Coat Factory store that closed after being damaged on 9/11, was a reason to pick it for the project, she said.?We want to create a platform by which the voices of the mainstream and silent majority of Muslims will be amplified. A center of this scale and magnitude will do that,? Khan said. ?We feel it?s an obligation as Muslims and Americans to be part of the rebuilding of downtown Manhattan.?Sounds like a 9/11 mosque to me.
