Protestors/Supporters rally in Controversial Mosque Case

Tensions continue to grow in New York as construction plans for a controversial mosque move forward. The building area scheduled for the mosque and surrounding area has been the site of several heated protests from both sides. Supporters of the mosque are calling the protests an act of racism against Muslims. Families of those lost on Sept. 11 and supporters say the mosque is too close to Ground Zero. A New York relations expert believes the project will eventually move because of the controversy. Mosque organizers said they will not move, but are currently meeting with shareholders on the issue.  Another mosque is reportedly planned for another location near the area not by the same group. The mosque is being sponsored by the Cordoba Initiative. The name Cordoba is also the name chosen for the mosque. Opponents say this name is no coincidence; Cordoba was the name of a mosque built after Muslims conquered Spain on the ruins of a Christian Cathedral in the 8th century.

Fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup are two different sweeteners. Fructose is considered altered when combined with other sweeteners such as glucose, but it is not the same as High Fructose Corn Syrup.  SNBC News apologizes for any confusion related to this mistake.
