Islam controversies cast shadow over 9/11 events
NEW YORK (AP): They will read the names, of course, the names of every victim who died in the Sept. 11 attacks. The bells will ring. And then that moment of unity will give way to division as activists hoist signs and march, some for and some against a planned mosque two blocks from ground zero.This 9/11 is more political and contentious than the eight before it, with grieving family members on opposite sides of the mosque battle.The debate became so heated that President Barack Obama felt the need to remind Americans: "We are not at war against Islam."Still, there were signs Friday that religious tensions were abating, and that hushed tones would replace the harsh rhetoric that threatened to overshadow the commemoration of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
