The new Museum of Tolerance New York opened in the heart of Manhattan this week, citing an ambitious mission to help enlighten city residents and tourists on issues of discrimination, prejudice and social inequality.

But the museum's financial backer, the Wiesenthal Center of Los Angeles, says it cannot tolerate the planned location near Ground Zero for a mosque and Islamic community center.

Rabbi Meyer May, the Wiesenthal Center's executive director, on Thursday called the mosque's proposed location “insensitive” to the people who experienced the 9/11 attack that killed nearly 3,000 in 2001 and are still dealing with “extraordinarily painful wounds.”

We are doomed. As a country of principle, we are doomed. Some of the founding fathers feared their new republic may not be able to last.

amazing. you'd think if anyone could empathize with the people trying to build it would bd a group who has dealt with intolerance in some form or fashion for thousands of years. i read previously that anyone similar to you is 'us', and everyone else is 'them'. that fits here; groups always seem to manage to find a 'them' to complain about.

but look, eleven pages on this thread that has everyone saying they know this group has every right, but still...and no talk of the economy or the jobless rate, or whether we should have a troop surge in afganistan, or anything else that actually has an impact on our daily lives, unlike this planned mosque.
