We have all been awed by how inflamed and emotional the issue of the proposed community center has become. The level of attention reflects the degree to which people care about the very American values under debate: recognition of the rights of others, tolerance and freedom of worship. Many people wondered why I did not speak out more, and sooner, about this project.

Le projet de construction d’un centre islamique avec une mosquée près de Ground Zero, à Manhattan, a déclenché une tempête de réactions de la part de politiciens, blogueurs et parents de victimes des attentats du 11 septembre. La polémique suscitée par le projet a mis en évidence la ligne de fracture existant entre la sacro-sainte liberté de culte en vigueur aux États-Unis et la lutte pour effacer le traumatisme provoqué par les attaques du 11 septembre 2001. Baptisé la "Mosquée de Ground Zero", d'après le site où se dressaient les tours jumelles du World Trade Center, le projet comprendra un centre culturel musulman de 13 étages et une salle de prière. Il s’agit du projet phare de Feisal Abdul Rauf, un imam basé à Manhattan, qui affirme que le but du centre est de rapprocher les musulmans des autres groupes religieux. Symbole de tolérance ou "coup de poignard dans le cœur" ? Le bâtiment qui abritera le futur centre a été construit en 1858.

Last night, President Obama continued the White House tradition of hosting an Iftar - the meal that breaks the day of fasting - celebrating Ramadan in the State Dining Room. During his remarks at the Iftar dinner, President Obama reflected on the importance of religious freedom as one of the founding principles of our Nation: Our Founders understood that the best way to honor the place of faith in the lives of our people was to protect their freedom to practice religion. In the Virginia Act of Establishing Religion Freedom, Thomas Jefferson wrote that “all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion.” The First Amendment of our Constitution established the freedom of religion as the law of the land.
