5 Interesting Facts About the Mosque Near Ground Zero
4. Although it is called Ground Zero Mosque, it is not exactly there
With it always being referred to as the Ground Zero mosque, many falsely assume that the mosque is either built on the terrorist attack sit or somewhere really close. The truth however is that it is almost two blocks away from Ground Zero. The developers also own two adjacent buildings near this project.
5. Although there was initial opposition over the building of a mosque as it would have affected the sensibilities of people who lost family members in the terrorist attack that was soon overcome.
Polls also showed that it was the people of America and the state of New York that vehemently opposed the project and not the people from lower Manhattan. Some also supported the project based on the fact that a developer had a right to build whatever on his property.
