9/11 Memorial Readies for Opening, Muslim Groups Protest Film

9-11-HEAD-smIn New York, President Obama joined September 11th survivors and rescuers to dedicate the 9/11 Memorial Museum that opens next week (May 21). The president called the museum a “sacred place of healing and hope.” Meanwhile, some Muslim and interfaith groups are voicing concerns about a film in the museum on Al-Qaeda. They say language in the film could lead viewers to believe Islam was responsible for 9/11. Museum officials said the film is “objectively telling the story of what happened.”
