We at the Madera Islamic Center would like to thank you for the articles you have been running about Muslims in general and the mosque at Ground Zero. These articles may serve as enlightening information to people in Madera. This week, someone left a sign in front of the Center that read, “No temple for the terrorists on Ground Zero.”

Whoever left that sign committed a terrorist act themselves. He or she should have the courtesy to come in person and state their opinion and perhaps we could have a discussion of the pros and cons.

Most of our community think the plan for a mosque at Ground Zero should be changed to another location since it is becoming a huge issue and many Americans do not want it there. It is too bad that the politicians have gotten involved, especially since we are coming up on an election.

Hopefully, they will move on to other things and not create a great division on the subject.

We are proud of our city of Madera and thank you again for your good work.
