Ground Zero Mosque: le débat refait surface
On aborde à nouveau la question de la construction d'une Mosquée près du site de Ground Zero... Le contexte est l'élection visant à trouver un successeur au démissionnaire Weiner.
"If you thought the controversy over New York City's Cordoba House Islamic Center was long over, Republican NY-09 candidate Bob Turner wants you to think again.
On Thursday Turner released his first TV ad in the special election to replace former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D), who resigned over inappropriate photos sent over Twitter. Turner's ad references the September 11th attacks, and accuses his Democratic opponent David Weprin of being among those who "want to commemorate the tragedy by building a mosque on Ground Zero."
The Cordoba House project, dubbed the "Ground Zero Mosque" by opponents, was an issue in New York -- and elsewhere -- in the run-up to the 2010 elections. But the fury over the project peaked with anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller's rally against it on September 11th, and then largely died out by the time November rolled around.
But with the 10th anniversary of the attacks coming up next month, there's apparently still some life in this controversy."
