CBS' "60 Minutes" explains it all about the proposed "mosque near Ground Zero," the property that has been the subject of so much controversy over the past few months...
My favorite part of this piece is when reporter Scott Pelley asks Sharif al Gamal: the NYC-born, Muslim developer of the project, "Who are you?"
al Gamal: "I'm an American. I'm a New Yorker. Born in Methodist hospital...in Brooklyn...to a Polish Catholic mother...to an Egyptian father."
Pelley: "Let me make sure I have this straight. You're a Muslim, who married a Christian girl. Your mother is Catholic, and you joined the Jewish Community Center on the west side of Manhattan."
al Gamal: "I did. That's New York, though. That's New York."
