An update: It seems the ADL is now reversing its earlier position and coming out against the project. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/31/ny...mosque.html?hp

It bothers me that in the terms of the public debate, we continue to call this project a 'mosque'.

Consider the way space is allocated in the proposed structure, the range of expected activities, and the primary function as expressed by those running the project. If Cordoba House is a mosque, then my alma mater is a Catholic church.
