New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a shot at those criticizing the construction of a Muslim community center and mosque near Ground Zero on Tuesday, asking rhetorically... "...how big should the no-mosque zone around the World Trade Center be? ...There is already a mosque four blocks away. Should it, too, be moved?"
...Many of the project's prominent critics have said that Park51, the group heading up the site, is building the Muslim community center "too close" to Ground Zero. However, few of them have specified, (even when pressed), just how far away the mosque needs to be in order to receive their approval. Many of them oppose it on grounds that it is insensitive to the memory of those who lost their lives in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. But when asked to suggest a specific distance that the site needs to be from Ground Zero, few are willing to elaborate further.
