Two Muslim Groups Move Forward with Plans to Build a Huge Mosque Near Ground Zero

The Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) website reports today (May 9, 2010) that two Muslim organizations are moving forward with plans to build a giant mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.

A 13-story building -- damaged by debris on 9/11/2001 -- will be refurbished to become The "Cordoba House" Mosque.

However, many families of those killed in the World Trade Center attacks do not approve, calling the plan "despicable."

"I don't like it," said Evelyn Pettigano, who lost a sister in the attacks. "I'm not prejudiced. It's too close to the area where our family members were murdered (by Muslim terrorists)."

Members of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative came up with the plan. They said the project is designed to improve relations between the West and Muslims.
