In what could be a South Park parody but sadly isn't, the Wiesenthal Center behind the Museum of Tolerance – which opened in Manhattan last week – slams the Cordoba center for insensitivity. Meanwhile … :

In Jerusalem, Israel – where the Wiesenthal Center plans to open its next Museum of Tolerance – construction of the proposed tolerance museum has “resulted in digging up the remains of people who had been buried in a Muslim cemetery for generations,” [professor Marnia] Lazreg said.  “I am not sure that I would have chosen a site close to Ground Zero for building a mosque and cultural center, although there is no law against doing so,” she said. “But we have to be fair …. The mosque-center promoters have not engaged in acts of physical desecration of the victims of 9/11 attacks.”
