In recommending that a different location be found for the Islamic Center, we are mindful that some legitimate questions have been raised about who is providing the funding to build it, and what connections, if any, its leaders might have with groups whose ideologies stand in contradiction to our shared values.\u00a0 These questions deserve a response, and we hope those backing the project will be transparent and forthcoming.\u00a0\u00a0But regardless of how they respond, the issue at stake is a broader one.<\/p>\n
