The controversy that is surrounding the building of the Islamic Mosque in New York City, and the burning of the Quran, has to do with racism in the world.
The controversy that surrounds the building of the Islamic mosque is that the Islamic building an Islamic cultural center and a mosque would be a couple of blocks away from ground zero in New York City. The citizens of New York City have found it to be an insult to the memory of those who died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center towers, where 3,000 Americans were killed . Supporters of the project argue that they have the right to religious freedom which means that the Muslim group is entitled to build their cultural center and mosque. The mosque is not even in ground zero it is actually six blocks down from ground zero.
At an extemporaneous news conference Aug. 18, New York’s bishop Timothy M. Dolan said that "as Catholics, we ourselves are somewhat touchy about this issue because in the past we have been discriminated against." He said he would be happy to participate in the efforts to negotiate a compromise over the Manhattan mosque as part of "a very civil, rational, loving, respectful (discussion)."
President Barack Obama has said that, Muslims have the right to build a mosque on the site as a matter of religious freedoom, the president has declined to deliberate in on whether it is a good idea for the mosque to proceed or not.
Survivors of 9/11 attack have rift into two groups, those who oppose the mosque project as a desecration of the area, and those who say it could become a place for "healing, reconciliation and understanding." I think that there is nothing wrong with the Islamic wanting to build their mosque there. They are not even that close to and all these citizens who are hating on the Islamic people is just because they a are building a mosque I think those people don’t want to give it a try or some of them are scared if they would do it again to use once we trust them again, also they paid for the private property to.

“It may not take 100 years for Muslims to be similarly accepted in the United States, Gillis said, but it will take time”.
“Until then, he suggests, "it may sound simplistic, but you really need to know Muslims as people."

T he Threat to burn Quran has damaged the US image worldwide, A pastor threat to burn copies of the Quran (a holy book). The U.S. ambassador of the Vatican said that the pastor has damaged the image of the Untied state, he also saids that "The deliberate destruction of any holy book is an abhorrent act," A small Florida Pentecostal church decide d to burn the Quran on Sept. 11 whitch represented "disrespectful acts" and in no way reflect "the sentiments of the American people or the U.S. government," he said in a written statement Sept. 10.
Many people told or warn him to not burn the Quran because we still have troops up in Iran. And if we fight fire with fire we just get a bigger fire. When Rev. Terry Jones, announced he had called off the event, he even said he was going to "rethink" that decision. It is a good thing he cancelled the event, because if he went though with event I think the Muslim and Islamic people will start attacking and our troops will be in danger The government turned up the pressure Tuesday
