It is interesting that we here the term "Islamic Community Center" when describing Park51 and they deny it is a mosque, yet the Muslims in Alaska have just celebrated their "Masjid Groundbreaking ceremony for the First Masjid in Alaska." Masjid means "Mosque". Yet these Alaskan Muslims officially call their place "The Islamic Community Center Anchorage Alaska"
