There are a number of sound and sane voices in this debate, including that of Mayor Bloomberg. And in addition, several unique propositions have come to the forefront during this controversy. For example, calls for an interfaith cultural center at the site of Ground Zero to study and promote religious tolerance, similar to the currently-developing Global Centre for Pluralism in Ottawa, Canada. The center, an initiative of His Highness the Aga Khan, is “founded on the premise that tolerance, openness and understanding towards the cultures, social structures, values and faiths of other peoples are now essential to the very survival of an interdependent world.”
