Just two weeks before the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the controversy over plans to construct an Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero is showing no signs of going away.
In fact, the building plans continue to face fierce opposition from groups who consider its location insensitive to families of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 9/11 attacks by Islamic terrorists.
