Pat Robertson's legal foundation
filed a lawsuit
in New York state court yesterday in an attempt to overturn the city's
approval of the plan to build a mosque on a site near Ground Zero.
The
American Center for Law and Justice says it filed a petition Wednesday
challenging a city panel’s decision to let developers tear down a
building to make way for the mosque. The Washington-based group is
representing a firefighter who survived the terrorist attacks.
Opponents say the mosque plan insults the memory of those killed by
Islamic terrorists nearly nine years ago. Supporters see it as a
monument to tolerance.
Robertson was last in the
news when he claimed that Haiti was struck by that devastating
earthquake because the nation's founders had sold their souls to Satan
in return for independence from France.
