Controversy

Opponents of the Park51 project argued that it is "a mosque", claiming that establishing a mosque a few blocks away from Ground Zero would be offensive because the hijackers in the September 11, 2001 attacks were Islamic terrorists.

Project supporters have argued that the Park51 building would not be visible from the World Trade Center site,[32] and that some victims and victims' families have expressed support for the Park51 project, as well as acknowledging the fact that victims of the 9/11 attacks also included Muslims.
