Islamic center leader says site is not moving
Daisy Khan, one of the leading organizers behind the mosque and Islamic community center near ground zero in New York City, said Sunday that moving the project to another location is not currently on the table.
"Right now it's not, until we consult with all our stakeholders," Khan told ABC News' "This Week with Christiane Amanpour.” She appeared on the program with Rabbi Joy Levitt, executive director of the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan and an adviser on the project.
Khan said she believed the project would be built.
"Of course, it has to go ahead," she said. "There's so much at stake."
Asked if America was "Islamophobic," Khan responded that it's like "metastasized anti-Semitism."
"It's not even Islamophobia, it's beyond Islamophobia — it's hate of Muslims," she said. "And we are deeply concerned." |
