President Barack Obama Steps In Mosque Controversy

President Barack Obama steps in the controversial mosque plan on Ground Zero, where the Islamic terrorist slam planes into the World Trade Center towers.

Obama stated that as a citizen, and as president, he believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in United States.

"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances."

The building was not only a mosque. It intended to be a multi-story community center, including a mosque, sport facilities, theater, restaurant, and would be open to all visitors, to show that Muslims are part of their community.

But the proposed location, two blocks from the gaping Ground Zero hole, where the Twin Towers were destroyed on September 11, has created mixed reactions.

Families of the tragedy victims sees this plan as an insult to the memories of those who have been killed during the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
