Technically, 45-47 Park Place (BCF Building) is ONE block from 7 World Trade, which also collapsed. And if you want to get really technical, I would say that since the landing gear from UA 175 went through the roof of the BCF Building, it is PART OF the disaster area.

How wide of a swath around the GZ zone was evacuated? If I was in charge, I'd say no mosques within the evacuation zone. And any that were already there should get the hell out, too.

Ground Zero Mosque. GROUND ZERO MOSQUE. GROUND ZERO MOSQUE.

That’s what it’s called - too late for anyone to think otherwise. AP hopes to relegate 9/11 to a faded memory.

To everyone else it’s the “Ground Zero Mosque”, or ZERO’S MOSQUE. :)

>>History is being erased and rewritten every day...<<

Yep, and when you go back and look up the real history, the revisionists call it fairy tales... They would rather the real history be lost down the politically correct memory hole.

The AP kommisar who issued the directive:

Thomas Kent - Deputy Managing Editor/Projects, Administrative

Emailed Mr. Kent:

Dear Mr. Kent:

Would you prefer that the Ground Zero mosque be referred to as the Victory Mosque? How about the Cordoba Victory Mosque? How much do you know about Islamic history or what Islamic conquerors do after a victory?

Perhaps they did not teach Islamic history at any of your alma maters; but ignorance of an enemy is not a comfort when the enemy is at your door.

I do not believe that the founding fathers penning of our founding documents allowing freedoms in religion included a mad rush into political correctness that allows any behavior or a blind tolerance of warfare no matter the level or design it takes.

I continue to be disappointed in those who call themselves journalists in this millenium. There are no true journalists. Only mouthpieces for the government elitists they serve. What a shame. I grew up watching, reading, and listening to some of the best.

Your actions ordering staff to quite referring to the mosque as being located at ground zero is further proof of my fears. Journalists do not exist. Journalism is dead. And those who seek to destroy the United States wear many faces.

RedMDer ~ I guess ‘Ground zero mosque’ is too divisive and that we should be more civil. Barf.

I guess ‘Ground zero mosque’ is too divisive accurate and that we should be more civil. Barf.

There. Fixed.

WOBBLY BOB ~ “Burlington Coat Factory Jihadist Gathering Place”

“Burlington Coat Suicide Vest Factory and Jihadist Gathering Training Place”

There. Fixed.

Disambiguator ~ Well, this was unexpected. /s

That they publicly announced it is a bit unexpected. Perhaps they feared one of their own would leak it and are trying to vaccinate themselves against it?

Gene Eric ~ Let’s call it the AP Mosque at Ground Zero.

Let’s call it "the mosque AP won't let its reporters call The Mosque at Ground Zero".

May as well give AP full credit for their treason at every turn.

FlyingEagle ~ The name is Obama’s Mosque

That works.

DarthVader ~ It’s too late the damage is done.

GOPJ ~ I hope you're right.

He will be if we never give it a rest.

I never saw such desperate scrambling. Their own insensitivity caused them to underestimate this story.

That explains THIS thread.....”Pelosi Tells America to Shut Up on Ground Zero Mosque”

Looks like the AP obeys orders well. Sieg Heil!

I have contended all along that it should not be called “9/11,” “ground zero,” or “WTC.” It should have always been called “The Atrocity.” The subject mosque would then be: “The Atrocity mosque,” or, better, “the Exodus 23:19 mosque.”
(i.e. adding insult to injury)

Exodus 23:19
“...You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”

Looks like Soros has passed down the order, and 0bama has dutifully relayed it to the lap dog media members.

Who obediently roll over...

What is that old axiom, “Control the message, control the outcome”, or something like that.

Looks like AP got some pressure put on them from the White House. I wonder how many other MSM outlet will change the wording in the next day or so. By the end of the weekend you won't be able to tell one from the other.

Maybe the AP should have suggested “Kill the Infidel Victory Mosque”. Jeez these people are unbelievably stupid. Do they actually think if they change the name the American citizen can't make the connection for themselves? And they wonder why people have such a low opinion of the MSM.
