New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg attacked critics of the Park51 Islamic Center near ground zero during his appearance yesterday on the Daily Show, and in doing so, he invoked the support of family members of 9/11 victims -- a move that drew sharp criticism today from one prominent figure.
"The family members that I’ve talked to -- and I’m chairman of the board of The World Trade Center Memorial -- 100% in favor of saying these people who want to build a mosque, can build a mosque, that the lives of our loved ones were taken because the right to build a mosque or to say what you want to say was so threatening to people," he told Jon Stewart.
There's no formal mechanism for polling family members of the 9/11 victims, but his comment has rankled some, including one of the project's outspoken critics, Debra Burlingame, who is also one of the eight family members on the board of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum -- though not one of the ones Bloomberg has spoken to recently.
No longer called the Cordoba House which betrayed the cause for the Islam Center, namely a Caliphate and shari'ia law
