I still don't know whats the big deal about this Ground Zero Mosque (a misnomer if there ever was one)! That's an issue for the people of NYC to deal with. I couldn't possibly care less about where they build the thing.
Hopefully, If you're lucky one will be coming to a town right near you

I still wonder when is the last time the Government funded a Community Center that just happened to have a Catholic Church in it or Jewish Synagogue as part of it?

Also, does anyone know if the Community Services to be offered and described as "domestic abuse" social service programs would be based on U.S. law/legal advice or Sharia Law/legal advice? Also, another program to be offered was Arabic and other foreign language classes and immigration services. May be slightly off topic, but why wouldn't English Classes be taught? I mean if you are going to offer immigration services, wouldn't you be interested in teaching the language of the land people are immigrating to. That would certainly make sense if one is truly interested in "community building."

I don't know. You have as much ability to google as I do, assumedly.

Just because I am a glutton for pain, might I ask why they shouldn't be allowed to apply for grant money?
