Amid Furor on Islamic Center, Pleas for Orthodox Church Nearby

The furor over plans to build an Islamic center two blocks from ground zero had already been joined by several politicians. On Monday, two politicians were joined in turn by officials of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, who sought to use the controversy to focus attention on their long-stymied effort to rebuild a church destroyed on 9/11 at the foot of the World Trade Center.

At a news conference near the trade center site, church officials appeared with former Gov. George E. Pataki and a Greek-American Congressional candidate from Long Island — both opponents of the Islamic center — to make their case: Government officials who appear to be clearing the way for the center, which includes a mosque, are blocking the reconstruction of St. Nicholas Church, the only house of worship destroyed in the terrorist attacks.

making you nutso.

Hey I got an idea..why don't we fill that gaping hole with all those asses you guys are laughing off?!!!

Why is there still a gaping hole? It's been 9 years now and I thought there was a pledge and plan to rebuild at the site. After all this time you'd think there would at least be something started there.

Isn't it high time we moved forward?

It is a political hit job meant to play to people's emotions and is part of a larger agenda. There are over 100 mosques in New York!
