A group of religious leaders and Jewish activists -- including Rabbi Arthur Waskow, founder of The Shalom Center -- rallied today at the planned site of the Cordoba Initiative, showing their support for plans to construct the mosque and Islamic center near the World Trade Center site.
Waskow says he thought it was appropriate for a Muslim institution to be present in Lower Manhattan and condemned some criticism of the plan as "hatred."
