ruction

/ˈrʌk ʃən/

noun

1 an uproar. 2 a quarrel. 3 a noisy outbreak.

Park51, better known as the “Ground Zero Mosque,” caused quite the ruction. And not without good reason. Its proximity to the most sacred grounds of the World Trade Center is no place for worshipping Muslims. No, such real estate should be reserved for things that celebrate what’s great in America. Things like McDonald’s. Starbucks. Street vendors selling “I u0026#x02665; NY” outer wear. And a four-star taco shop run by a guy named Cooter.
