    Title:​ Never Forget: Ground Zero, Park51, and Constitutive Rhetorics Author:​ Tamara Issak Issue:​ 3 Publication Date:​ November 2020 Stable URL: http://constell8cr.com/issue-3/never-forget-ground-zero-park51-and-constitutive-rh etorics/ constellations a cultural rhetorics publishing space Never Forget: Ground Zero, Park51, and Constitutive Rhetorics Tamara Issak, St. John’s University Introduction It was the summer of 2010 when the story of Park51 exploded in the news. Day after day, media coverage focused on the proposal to create a center for Muslim and interfaith worship and recreational activities in Lower Manhattan. The space envisioned for Park51 was a vacant department store which was damaged on September 11, 2001. Eventually, it was sold to Sharif El-Gamal, a Manhattan realtor and developer, in July of 2009. El-Gamal intended to use this space to build a community center open to the general public, which would feature a performing arts center, swimming pool, fitness center, basketball court, an auditorium, a childcare center, and many other amenities along with a Muslim prayer space/mosque. Despite the approval for construction by a Manhattan community board, the site became a battleground and the project was hotly debated. It has been over ten years since the uproar over Park51, and it is important to revisit the event as it has continued significance and impact today. The main argument against the construction of the community center and mosque was its proximity to Ground Zero. Opponents to Park51 argued that the construction of a mosque so close to Ground Zero was offensive and insensitive because the 9/11 attackers were associated with Islam (see fig.

To this end, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with leaders from key organizations involved in the conflict, in addition to participant observation at rallies and meetings of the different organizations involved. The authors find that despite great differences between the two conflicting sides, both coalitions experienced similar internal challenges that had to be managed when staging the performance for the public eye. The struggle over memory, space, and language strongly impacted how these actors understand coalition- building and mobilization. The article makes a contribution at the intersection between memory and dramaturgical studies applied to collective action. Keywords dramaturgy, identity, memory, social movements, space This research explores the underlying linkage between space, remembering, and collec- tive action through the study of the struggle between two opposing social movement coalitions formed in response to the proposed construction of an Islamic center near Ground Zero.

  • The Ground Zero Mosque Controversy: Implications for American Islam
    Religions 2011, 2, 132-144; doi:10.3390/rel2020132 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article The Ground Zero Mosque Controversy: Implications for American Islam Liyakat Takim Sharjah Chair in Global Islam, McMaster University, University Hall, 116, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Ontario, L8S 4K1, Canada; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1 (647) 865 7863 Received: 29 March 2011; in revised form: 22 May 2011 / Accepted: 31 May 2011 / Published: 7 June 2011 Abstract: The controversy surrounding the “ground zero mosque” is part of a larger debate about the place of Islam in U.S. public space. The controversy also reveals the ways in which the boundaries of American identity continue to be debated, often through struggles over who counts as a “real” American. It further demonstrates the extent to which Islam is figured as un-American and militant, and also the extent to which all Muslims are required to account for the actions of those who commit violence under the rubric of Islam. This paper will discuss how, due to the events of September 11, 2001, Muslims have engaged in a process of indigenizing American Islam. It will argue that the Park51 Islamic Community Center (or Ground Zero mosque) is a reflection of this indigenization process. It will go on to argue that projects such as the Ground Zero mosque which try to establish Islam as an important part of the American religious landscape and insist on the freedom of worship as stated in the U.S. constitution, illustrate the ideological battlefield over the place of Islam in the U.S.

  • The Park51 Project: How Media Created the Ground Zero Mosque
    THE PARK51 PROJECT: HOW MEDIA CREATED THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE by EMILY SAEGER JARVIS (Under the Direction of Elli Lester Roushanzamir) ABSTRACT This study tests Herman and Chomsky‘s propaganda model by examining newspaper and television coverage of the Park51 controversy through textual and content analyses. Although this case study did not produce sufficient evidence that sourcing and anti-otherness were used consistently as propagandizing tools, the sheer amount of coverage is propagandistic in itself. The government has a vested interest in maintaining an invisible enemy. Park51, a seemingly innocuous community center, transformed into ―the ground zero mosque‖ in a media firestorm that questioned the motives of the imam, invoked the victims of September 11 and created a clear dichotomy of us versus them by insinuating a false equivalence of terrorist with Muslim. Even those outlets that emphasized support for Park51 perpetuated the story, the crux of which is dichotomy, imbedding it in the public consciousness. Using this propagandistic message, hegemony is maintained by the manufacture of consent.

  • Park51, the Islamic Community Center in New York City a Call to Understanding and Peace August 31Th, 2010
    Joint Statement of American Friends Service Committee and New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on Park51, the Islamic Community Center in New York City A Call to Understanding and Peace August 31th, 2010 People of all faiths share histories of intolerance and persecution. In the early decades of our existence, Quakers were feared and the practice of our faith was against the law. We were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and executed in England and in the colonies that later became the United States. We recall these shared struggles for acceptance when religious freedom is threatened. We are taught by our faith and experiences to embrace understanding and compassion and the quest for truth. We bring a commitment to peace and the use of non-violent means to resolve conflicts. We were here in New York City on September 11th, 2001, and mourned with the loved ones of individuals of all faiths who were killed or injured, reaching out to that of God in each and every one. We experienced the loss of a sense of security and well-being. We, too, experience the pain and grief that remain. We have worked steadfastly with victims in the aftermath, and have challenged actions that lead to further loss of life. We concern ourselves with the threat of harm when those on different sides of disputes cast “the other” in the role of the despised and deny their voice, their humanity, and their rights. We call now, as we did then, for the end to the cycle of violence.
