John Boehner

The proposed $100 million project of building an Islamic center and religious mosque near the 9/11 World Trade Center site in New York, which already received approval, earned criticisms from top Republican.

According to the Minority Leader John Boehner that the issue being pressed at this time, was not a question about law and religious freedom of any race, but, for them it was a basic issue needed to put some respect regarding to the tragic moment happened in the 9/11 attack that became a part of the U.S history.

Top Republican members criticized that the decision of letting the Muslim center to be build in the location was a major mistake the government was to make.

Building a mosque and Islamic center near in the site where the 9/11 attack occurred became a national issue, after the proposed plan was been approved by the city commission. President Barrack Obama, was on the side supporting the Muslim group with their aim to build their Islamic center, however, he cleared his side that he was not endorsing the World Trade Center site, to be the proposed location to build the Islamic center.

The president’s statement last Saturday said that the country must need to treat all the individuals and any member of a group equally in accordance of the law, regardless of his religion and race. Mr. Obama added that Muslim group’s had the right to build their own religious mosque in any place in the states, but he had not proposed to build it near in the Ground Zero.

Some analysts say it was unwise to let the group build mosque near the site where 3,000 people died due to terrorist attack.

Last Friday, President Obama said in his speech that he had understood all the emotional issue been pressed for the Muslim community center plan, for him as a president he said people in all walks of life and all faith are welcome in the U.S. and must treated equally by the government.
