Court fight over mosque near Ground Zero in Manhattan
The American Center for Law and Justice sued to stop the Cordoban Initiative Islamic center near Ground Zero, arguing the Landmarks Preservation Commission rushed a decision to allow tearing down a building for the project. Supporters call it a model for interfaith dialogue while opponents, including some relatives of Sept. 11 victims, view it as an insult to the memory of nearly 3,000 killed. Local officials defend process and a broad national debate swirls.
