Debating the "Ground Zero Mosque"
The Listening Post looks at how the American media constructed the 'Ground Zero mosque' story as well as the impact social media is having on business today. If you are across the American media then we doubt you missed this story. Plans to build an Islamic community center near the site where the World Trade Center used to stand in New York has triggered a heated, often irrational and frequently inaccurate debate. The community center is constantly referred to as the 'Ground Zero mosque' by the media. From that phrase alone you can begin to understand why this story gained so much traction. Misleading the public into believing that a mosque -- not a community center -- is being built at the place where the U.S. was attacked by Islamic extremists -- albeit two blocks away -- will always get a reaction. Link TV's Jamal Dajani weighs in on the controversy.
