GROUND ZERO TRANSFORMED INTO A MOSQUE...

It seems relatively bizzare that a futuristic 16 storey building has been proposed near to the 9/11 site, and it is to be a mosque.

New Yorkers, legitimately, have voiced opposition to the plans, although Sharif El-Gamal, the developer has stated that [they] wanted to have a marriage between Islamic architecture and New York City, and that it is intended to be green and cool. 

Those particular comments, quite understandably, have been received with disbelief.

Along those lines, you may expect to see a ground floor Lebanese restaurant/bakery.  Perhaps even a Maroush.
