Since the controversy began, there have been many misconceptions of mosque buildings in New York City. The plan to build a mosque near the hollow ground, where once the Twin Towers stood has been heated. Many are offended that the Muslims would even think of putting it so near, where countless lives were lost on 9/11. However, mosque building have been spreader all across Manhattan since 1907. Since then, they have been living around us, and they too felt the tragic events of 9/11. Should we as Americans convict the innocent, when they too fell victim to the lives that were lost? Or should the Muslims find a nicer, quieter, side of New York City, far from the Ground Zero?
