Saudi King Abdullah proposes to move the ground zero mosque to a site in Manhattan away from ground zero. St. Vincent hospital went into bankruptcy in April 2010, and another company is proposing to knock it down to build luxury apartments. The Saudi king wants to reopen the hospital and add a mosque and community center.
This sounds fine to me. I hope the ground zero mosque issue goes away. Any other site is fine. And if a hospital is saved in the process, all the better. And King Abdullah knows something about American hospitals. He is in one right now recuperating from back surgery. The idea to build a victory mosque at ground zero was grotesque. To even risk rubbing salt into the wounds of the 9/11 victims was wrong. And to thumb noses at American sensitivities was also wrong.
