Haaretz.com is reporting that the Muslim leaders behind the plans to build a mosque two blocks from the former sites of the world trade center will drop their plans in an attempt to avoid more bad press. If this report ends up being factual it will likely achieve this end. It is atrocious that the plans were made in the first place. With utter disregard for those who died, how can any Muslim group want to erect a monument of the cause for which so much innocent life was lost?
