Why are so many people against the cultural center in Tribeca? The triangle below canal street is the site of a triple pronged conflict between the Cultural center's supporters, the Right Wing and the confused pawns of the right wing. Is it because it will house a Mosque? Are people afraid that the whole united states will convert to islam? I believe that general pervasive deep rooted racism is to blame for the "Mosque" backlash. I have yet to hear an intelligent argument against the mosque. Suppose there was a story that a Mosque was to be built on the first floor of the freedom tower, and the backlash forced developers to reconsider and relocate the Mosque a few blocks away and invisible from the site of ground zero, at park 51. People would rejoice and praise the move as a sign of sensitivity. There is no good or bad place for a Mosque to go. As long as no zoning laws are broken there is no problem. People have the right to protest anything they want. If you have been wronged you focus on the individuals who carried out this deed. I believe that the right wing is preying on confused individuals and using them to push their racist agenda. Before you protest something please do your research.
