DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A Saudi prince who has aided the imam spearheading a proposed Islamic center near New York's ground zero is appealing for another site not associated with the "wound" of the Sept. 11 attacks, a report said Thursday.
In interview excerpts published by the Dubai-based Arabian Business magazine, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was quoted as saying that moving the planned mosque, health club and cultural center would respect the memory of those killed in the 2001 attacks and allow American Muslims to choose a more suitable location.
The comments are reportedly the prince's first public views on the dispute, which has stirred street protests and fiery debates between religious and political leaders over America's freedom of worship versus the lingering anger over the 9/11 attacks.
Prince Alwaleed's Kingdom Foundation has contributed to the group run by New York's Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, but said he has given no funds to the planned center.
Prince Alwaleed urged the backers of the proposed Islamic center not to "agitate the wound by saying, 'We need to put the mosque next to the 9/11 site.'"
"Those people behind the mosque have to respect, have to appreciate and have to defer to the people of New York," the prince was quoted as saying by the magazine, which said the full interview will be published Sunday. "The wound is still there. Just because the wound is healing you can't say, 'Let's just go back to where we were pre-9/11.'"
Prince Alwaleed, who chairs a Saudi investment company that has major stakes in international giants News Corp. and Citigroup, also said Muslims in New York should consider a more "dignified" location than the proposed site in lower Manhattan.

I’ve got a better idea.
Nuke the mosque.
The one in Mecca.
I wonder if the little Saudi p*ick has been reading my posts. We know you are a major shareholder, joint venture partner or deal maker with ALL 6 Tv networks which control 99% of American channel.
We know who you are and who your uncle is Al Waleed. Maybe someday Americans will get a brain cell, wake up and yank the plug and ditch TV brainwashing. Maybe they will quit the Matrix. The Joy Behar s**t has been posted here all day in multiple thread. F her. Yank the plug. People watching TV gives scum like her power.
I’ll settle for a Hajj Ground Zero...

Works for me.
Line-through-circle Islam.
Make everyone happy—move it to Krapistan, where it belongs.
..or how about let the mosgue stay as long as Mecca has two super sized structures , a Church and a Synagogue where the followers can worship in peace?
Afterall, they are the vanguard of peace....
About 300 miles out to sea should do it.
All kidding aside, no more mosques should be built for those opposed to American assimilation which equates to destruction of American society.

You and I both know, that will never, ever happen, which is why you posted it.
:)
Of course, MoHamHeads are nothing if not treacherous, so they could be backed into a corner to make such a deal (Taqiyya - Hudna), then mass-murder all the Christians and Jews. Like they did so many times before, after signing “truces” and “cease fires”.
> Afterall, they are the vanguard of peace....
I love George Bush. I really do. But he was dead wrong, DEAD WRONG, DANGEROUSLY WRONG, to have ever implied that Islam is “peaceful”. The only peace they offer is the peace of the grave.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Aren’t the Bush family close to the Saudi royals?

I hear that a lot, but I don’t know about it.
If he compromised the security of our nation for the sake of any relationship he had or has with *ANY* foreign power, then he’s no friend of this country and is a traitor.
But I don’t believe that is true.
Hey, I have liberals in my family. I deal with them. I work with them. I even love them. Doesn’t mean I approve of their works or their world view.
Meet a moooooderate muslim — he happens to be a Saudi prince.
Has the prince smelled the qahwa?
This is a dead issue.
It is a little late for the richest man in the world to pipe in..
but since we are on the subject... let’s watch this again

That was painful to sit through...just yuk!!
Danged wahabi money is killing Christians everywhere. The wound is still healing? You a$$w**eds are still complaining after being spanked in Jerico( moon god worshipers, probably related somehow to Islam) from Joshua, still feeling the hurt the Crusades actually kicked your butts back to your filthy desert. Screw you Al-squidlips. The mosque should never be built anywhere, period, no more mosques in America!
