Olbermann: There Is No ‘Ground Zero Mosque’

Great comment from Keith Olbermann that points out the truth behind this story.  If you know lower Manhattan, you know that it’s a rabbit warren of streets.  You can be two blocks away from something and have no concept of being near it.  It’s worse than the Village.

This also shows how opportunistic politicians and a lazy mass media looking for viewers and circulation numbers, not truth, hyped this story for their own benefits.

Read this, watch the video and get a grip on the reality of the situation.

The “Ground Zero Mosque” is many things, but it is neither at ground zero nor is it really a mosque.

So argued Keith Olbermann during Monday night’s edition of “Countdown” on MSNBC.

In a Special Comment lasting twelve minutes, the commentator ripped into the case being made by critics of the Cordoba House. The proposed Muslim community center would be located two blocks away from the site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001 by Islamic extremists.

The thought of building the new facility — which would include a two-story prayer center — so close to the site of America’s worst terrorist attack, one perpetrated by followers of Islam, has been unsettling to a wide range of public figures, from Sarah Palin to Harry Reid. But it has also inspired people like Olbermann and others who hope to encourage religious worship that doesn’t resemble the extremism behind al Qaeda.
