Park51 drawings prove how far 'Ground Zero mosque' claims are from truth | World news | The Guardian

Park51 drawings prove how far 'Ground Zero mosque' claims are from truth | World news | The Guardian:

"Judging by the criticism thrown at the Muslim centre planned for downtown Manhattan, you would think developers intended to build an Islamic citadel right on top of Ground Zero with 'sponsored by al-Qaida' written on its front.

In fact, the proposed scheme for the much-slated 'Ground Zero mosque' is neither a mosque nor at Ground Zero – it is a multifaith community centre with an Islamic prayer area, two blocks north of the site where the twin towers once stood. Now, conceptual drawings of the building have been released, revealing a planned structure that is strikingly modern and in keeping with the spirit of New York's most cutting-edge design."
