Hearing May Decide Fate Of Planned Mosque Near Ground Zero
From CNN:
New York’s Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold a hearing Tuesday to decide whether a century-old building near ground zero is worth preserving.
The hearing is expected to be contentious because if the commission rules the building is not worth landmarking, it will pave the way for a mosque and community center that has been planned there.

Earlier this month, a community board said the 157-year-old building at the site wasn’t architecturally significant enough to landmark.
Those pushing for the landmark status are opposed to the mosque at the site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by Islamist hijackers on September 11, 2001.
