New York City Mayor Bloomberg re-upped his support last night for the right of Muslims to build the Cordoba House Islamic center near Ground Zero. Speaking to Muslims celebrating the end of Ramadan with an Iftar dinner, Bloomberg reiterated that “we are not at war with Islam. We are at war with Al Qaeda.”

He added that the debate over the proposed site must be “civil and respectful.”
