Republican Candidate for Congress and Highlands Mayor, Anna Little, Issues Statement on the Proposed Mosque at Ground Zero

Highlands, NJ- Sometimes you come across an issue and the important question to ask isn’t whether it is legal or illegal, but whether it is right or wrong.

As Mayor of Highlands and the Republican nominee for Congress in the 6th District, where we suffered the loss of hundreds of our family and friends because of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, my position is that the building of a mosque so close to ground zero where thousands of Americans lost their lives, is entirely inappropriate.

Additionally, there are many questions surrounding the funding of the mosque that should be answered before the ‘legal’ question is settled. With so many fanatical groups across the globe supporting extreme anti-American views which often lead to violence, this question should be among the first answered before any ground is broken.
