As political firestorms go, few have consumed more oxygen than last summer's "ground zero mosque" controversy in lower Manhattan.


Though it was neither at Ground Zero nor a stand-alone mosque, the Park51 project was cast as an insult to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by extremist bloggers whose venomous tone was taken up in the pages of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and on Fox News.

A group representing atheists says the installation of a cross-shaped beam at the Sept. 11 museum is unconstitutional.



The American Atheists filed the suit in Manhattan State Supreme Court on Wednesday. The group says the museum is a public institution and should not reflect a specific religion. It asks for a judge to either order the cross removed or order that other religions be represented equally.




Memorial President Joe Daniels says the museum's mission is to tell the history of Sept. 11 through artifacts like the cross.
