A row is now convulsing America over the proposal to build Cordoba House, an Islamic cultural centre which will be housed in a 15-storey building two blocks away from where the World Trade Centre twin towers stood before 9/11. As well as a library, gym and conference centre, it will house a mosque. Is this sick and offensive? Or is it a perfect opportunity for America to show the enemies of freedom precisely what sets the US apart from violent, intolerant fundamentalists?

How dare somone compare 9/11 to the Holocaust. These two events have nothing in common. The suffering of Americans is no where near the suffering of the Jewish people during the years of WWII
