News revelation: There were two Islamic religious sites in the Twin Towers!!
Yes, there was a Mosque on the 17th floor of the south tower complete with washing facilities and a less formalized "prayer site" in a stairwell between the 106-107 floors of the north tower. Why was this information not known before all the fuss about the Park 51 controversy? Surely it couldn't have been because that information would have prevented all the media-profitable political and world-wide reaction.....could it?!

Shame! Unmitigated shame on those media that knew about it and did not inform, and the politicians, many of whom probably knew it too, but used it for their fear-mongering political purposes.
Which does not excuse the Americans who suckered gullibly, ignorantly, and bigotedly into it. WTF are we coming to?!
