Women pray before breaking Ramadan fast at the third annual Iftar Dinner at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center on August 17, 2010 in New York, New York. The event brings out local Muslim leaders and area politicians to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.

Despite polls showing national opposition to the center, both New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and numerous prominent Jewish groups have voiced their support for the center.
