Islamic center near ground zero opens its doors - for art exhibit
Ay Pee summarized: Exhibit of images of New York City children from various nations by Jewish photographer Danny Goldfield. Property developer Sharif El-Gamal says he handled things poorly last year, should have included community and 9/11 victim's families from the beginning. He has continued fundraising, but parted ways with the infamous Imam Rauf. Muslim services have nonetheless continued for the past two years.
More background in a New York Times article published in August.
