Obama backtracks over Ground Zero mosque after furious 9/11 families label him 'insensitive and uncaring'


* Friday: 'Let me be clear: As a citizen and as President I believe that Muslims have the same right ... to build a place of worship and a community centre on private property in Lower Manhattan'
* Saturday: 'I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there'
* Hamas: Muslims 'have to build everywhere' so they can pray like Christians and Jews

Barack Obama has backtracked over his support for plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero.

The U.S. President was hit by a furious backlash from victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks after he backed the highly controversial plans in a speech on Friday.

The proposed site for the 13-storey building is close to where
almost 3,000 people died nine years ago after Muslim hijackers flew two jet airliners into the World Trade Center.
