This is truly the greater scandal that nobody in the main stream media is talking about. St. Nicholas, a Greek Orthodox Church, was founded in 1916 by Greek Immigrants on the site where much later was built the World Trade Center. The Church was crushed by the collapsing of 2 World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 after Islamic Radicals flew planes into that building and its twin. The Church and the World Trade Center are still awaiting approval from the government to rebuild almost nine years after the catastrophe. There was, as you might know, no Mosque on the site - or near the site - but Mayor Bloomberg is upset with those of us who are upset with the very idea of building a Mosque on this scared site. Charles Krauthammer calls the idea of a Mosque at Ground Zero, a sacrilege, and most Americans agree with him. One might ask how upset Mayor Bloomberg is with the fact that New Yorkers, for nine years, have been staring into a massive hole in the ground where the World Trade Center and St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church formerly stood.
So you can see the exact location of St. Nicholas Church, here is a photo taken on September 11, 2001.
