  Thu Sep 02 08:00AM

  By Richard Evans I've read several blogs and comment pieces over the past week about the proposed Islamic cultural centre in New York. You won't know of it by that name of course; the right wing media has decided to refer to it as the 'Ground Zero mosque' instead. The fact… More »
