There has been a lot of controversy brewing about the proposed Islamic Cultural Center in Manhattan, 5 blocks away from the site where the World Trade Center once stood.
Here are the FACTS about the location of the proposed center.
It should be noted that Muslims already pray close to the site of the Pentagon attack in a non-denominational chapel built and dedicated in 2002 and there was no outrage towards the chapel.
And there are already places of religious worship in Manhattan, including Islam, within distance from the World Trade Center.
In conclusion, I have this to say about the Islamic cultural center in Manhattan:
”Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” -First Amendment, Ratified December 15, 1791
