That doesn't actually sound all that different from what is proposed for "Cordoba House":

"The Cordoba Initiative...is a multi-faith non-profit organization whose aim is to improve relations between different communities, and in particular between the Muslim world and the United States of America.

The proposed community center in Lower Manhattan will serve as a platform for multi-faith dialogue. It will strive to promote inter-community peace, tolerance and understanding locally in New York City, nationally in America, and globally." (From here) <<<


Where Cordoba House goes wrong though, McGrath, is that it is first and foremost a Mosque. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. But to have a multifaithed 'religion' of Faith, you have to have Neutral Ground on which to build it.

Where better to build that than upon the very ground where Christians, Muslims, Jews, and probably many other folks from other religions died.

Let what rises from the ashes of Ground Zero be something Unique and Extraordinary, where all religions are intermingled and united for the Common Good and Peace of the World.

Now that would truly make terrorists of all religions weep in anger...

We have to move forwards, not backwards, if we are to survive as a Species...
