Ah, Ramadan is over for another year, and on Sept. 10 and 11 we celebrated Idul Fitri (Eid) with much rejoicing and overeating, to say nothing of the noisy fireworks in the small park on my street. (By Julia Suryakusuma, Jakarta)

Your comments:

The world media also has some responsibility because they are only interested in sensationalism.
As mentioned, if that non entity Jones had been ignored by the media, there would have been no problem.

According to this website (www.cordobainitiative.org/?q=content/frequently-asked-questions) the Muslim community center will be two and a half blocks from Ground Zero, not 10 blocks.
And the “prayer space” is intended for Muslims, not Christians or Jews.
