Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, described the campaign against the mosque as a cover for anti-Muslim hatred fueled by a growing hate filled agenda. A new poll showed that 70% of people oppose the building of the mosque, showing a growth in Islamophobia. "I've never seen it like this. Even after 9/11 there was a reservoir of good will. There were people brining flowers to mosques that were vandalized. But really in the last few months it's really skyrocketed," said Hooper. Hooper argued that the controversy has been manufactured. There should be no problem or controversy, he said. It was created by groups of Islamophobes . The proposed location is already used as a mosque and prayer area. "We're now in a situation where it's a test case for American freedom," said Hooper. SEE: http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-08-20/nyc...
