Double Standards


St Nicholas' Greek Orthodox Church before 9/11

I see the controversy over the rebuilding of a Greek Orthodox Church in lower Manhatten, New York, near ground zero is continuing.  The church was destroyed in the 9/11 attack, and now the parish wants to rebuild its place of worship near the church's original site, but they are being prevented by the people who own ground zero despite an agreement which was made a couple of years ago in which the agency had entered into with the Orthodox Church.  Interesting in the light of the support being given to muslims who want to build a new mosque and muslim centre in the area: even President Obama came out in support of that.  Interesting.  Double standards at work again?  Christians cannot replace their church which was destroyed but another religious group can come in and build anew.
