An Opponent Returns to the Scene

The Empire | Mar 29, 2012

The opposition to Park51 is drawing support from a wide array of critics, including some who’ve opposed other Islamic-oriented projects in the past.

One such organizer of an anti-Park51 protest yesterday was Beth Gilinsky, who I encountered three years earlier, opposing the Khalil Gibran school - the city's fist Arabic-oriented public school - which, Gilinsky and her entourage referred to as a “madrassa.”

Which, when I asked, she couldn’t explain why.
