NY mayor Bloomberg to defend building of Ground Zero mosque | New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will make his first appearance on 'The Daily Show' in eight years on Saturday night, and is expected to focus on the controversy
surrounding the building of a proposed mosque and Islamic centre near Ground Zero.
According to The Politico, Bloomberg is expected to say that some people are trying
to stir up things to get publicity and trying to polarize people so that they
can get some votes in November, but adds that the protests will end once elections
are over. He also expected to say that he is aware of the feelings of the family
members of the 9/11 victims, and that he understands their angst, as he is the
chairman of the board of The World Trade Center Memorial. He also expected to
say that there are people who want to build a mosque, can build a mosque, that
the lives of our loved ones were taken because the right to build a mosque or
to say what you want to say was so threatening to people. "There are a lot of
people who've said things that I don't agree with. But if I want to be able to
say what I believe, I've got to let you say what you believe, even if I violently
disagree with them, even if I find it despicable," the mayor is expected to say. |
