The Ground Zero Mosque Project Is Back
americanthinker.com ^ | Dec. 16, 2019 | Pamela Geller

The news was buried under two dense paragraphs and five large photos in an article in New York YIMBY about a different project: "Construction has also yet to begin on 51 Park Place, which is slated to become a 71-foot-tall, 16,000-square-foot Islamic cultural center." The infamous Ground Zero Mosque project, a long buried effort to build a triumphal mosque at the site of the worst jihad terror attack in American history, is back.

Construction has yet to begin, but it will: the shady developer behind the Ground Zero Mosque scheme, Sharif El-Gamal, has been working to build this sinister structure for years.

We defeated the Ground Zero Mosque project once before. The 16-story mosque that El-Gamal initially planned to build there has not been built. Our efforts in showing what an insult it was to the American people and to the victims of 9/11, and how many Muslims worldwide would inevitably view it as a triumphal mosque built on the site of a jihad attack, defeated it. Tens of thousands of people came out for our rallies in lower Manhattan against this celebration of this 9/11 attacks, and El-Gamal was beaten in the court of public opinion.

It was a long battle. President Obama announced his support for the mosque at an Iftar dinner, no less. Then-mayor of New York City and current presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg supported the mosque as well, claiming hysterically that "if we don't build it, the terrorists will win!" The media actively campaigned for it — the elites in their increasingly fragile ivory towers relentlessly stumped for the Cordoba mosque (euphemistically called an Islamic center with a prayer space) for years.

El-Gamal has many friends and allies among New York City's political and media elites. It is likely that de Blasio city officials and the New York Times and other city papers all met with El-Gamal and agreed to keep the reporting on this project to an absolute minimum, so that it could get built without incurring the righteous anger of the public again.

Let's see how much righteous anger New Yorkers show.

They should have rebuilt the towers exactly as they were.

If Trump and his Deplorables are against it, they'll be for it.

Expect none.

The sheep don't understand the significance of this mosque to the Islamic world and they are consumed with the PC need to be tolerant and respect “ diversity’ to oppose

Something like this, with the meteor at Mecca melted into a cross and star of David at the top would have been better.

Approve it only after we can build a cathedral in Mecca and Medina.

ANOTHER FORWARD OPERATING BASE for Islam? Just great.

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the faithful our soldiers”.

They need new “Milestones”. I’ll say one thing about Qutb. He was a very straightforward, honest writer. I disagree with him, but he is great to read.

Why? As Barry OPOS said (the Constitution was a) “charter of negative liberties” That is akin to DEFENSIVE JIHAD - “The Quranic Concept of War”

Hey Islam. Call off the puppets. We’ll be good dhimmis. Our overlords are properly subduing us. OUR MOFOS must’ve given your GOFOS the green light for SLAUGHTER. It’s what they do in the D.C. (Divide & Control) Power Center.

Not necessary to go down that road, but if it is...why are your twin towers still standing?

Our dhimmis are good dhimmis.

(Thanks media and radio yakkers)

NOT REALLY YOU POS SCUM

Oh... and your PENTAGON and all its occupants are having an enjoyable day I suppose...

https://www.learnreligions.com/the-kaaba-2004450

Our dhimmis are working hard on having us to be properly subdued.

Some of Epstein’s Temple (color/design) looks like he appropriated it from your culture. Quite a compliment from an international woman abuser.

Have you seen Ghislaine or is she hiding under a burkha?

There’s only a few places on this planet the Muslims should be, and that’s back where they came from. They will never integrate into World society unless it is their World society, and everybody is as screwed up as they are.

I don’t know about the average New Yorker, although I suspect most of them won’t care. They keep electing mayors like deblasio, for example. The unions, however, are another story. The New York construction and trade unions were dead set against this project the last time around. If it does actually get built I wouldn’t want to set foot inside, there is no telling what all got sabotaged.

America will comply, just you wait. Perhaps we will fund the project in order not to offeeeeeeeeend the muzzie barbarians. We have become such a muzzie-ass kissing society. Our Founders would be proud.

They don’t give up. They want to conquer NYC one way or another.

The tower they built is awesome! As you travel up the elevator the entire interior takes you through the entire history of that spot in NYC. It’s expensive but worth it.

Eating a BLT sandwich at the doorstep would have the same affect. Or serving a Christmas ham right in front of the mosque would work too.
