The developer of the ill-fated Ground Zero Mosque won't relent on his goal of planting a flag on the grave of 3,000 Americans.
The New York Post reports that Sharif El-Gamal and his banking partners announced Wednesday that he secured "Sharia-compliant financing" to build a luxury condominium tower and an Islamic museum on the same site as the proposed Ground Zero Mosque -- four blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood.
The $174 million dollar project features a three-story Islamic cultural museum at 51 Park Place and 48 high-end residential condos in a 43-story tower at 45 Park Place in the Financial District.
The “Sharia-compliant” financing means the deal complies with complex Islamic laws that govern lending and borrowing, including a prohibition against accepting interest or fees for loans.
El-Gamal scrapped his plans to build the mosque in 2011 after receiving tremendous backlash from the community, but according to the Post, his plans for a smaller museum seem to be passing under the radar unchallenged.
The deal, finalized Tuesday, was funded by the London branch of Malayan Banking Berhad.
The project was designed by Michel Abboud of SOMA Architects, along with Ismael Leyva Architects, and will include a 2,821 square-foot public plaza, green space and a retail shop.
While the museum's footprint may be smaller and seemingly more innocuous than a mosque, it still speaks volumes. There is no logical reason in the world why Manhattan needs an Islamic museum in that particular location. Zero. When all is said and done and a shrine to Islam stands tall where the ashes of those who perished remain below, it will be akin to planting an Islamic flag on conquered territory.
What in the heck is going on in our country? Allowing this disgusting $hit to be constructed near where so many innocent people were slaughtered, and at the same time destroying any and all confederate statues and flags across the country . . . Mullah Obama is very pleased.
Things just keep heating up.
The islamization of America continues at the speed of a runaway express train. And the sheep said, baaa, don’t bother us, just keep the EBT cards full. At the rate they are going, it won’t even be four years until they accomplish their mission.
Sickening...
No sensitivity whatsoever. This is what Islam is really like.
Why not all sorts of memorial and museums to killers? Put up a memorial museum on sites of say Sandy Hook? What will it take for politicians to acknowledge the horrific murders of civilians by Islam? What?

This is flag-planting. Plain and simple.

Thanks, Whenifhow.
Ground Zero will be hit again. The instructions were to build two non-denominational chapels (from a seer) to protect the site.
good to know Donald was trying to do a good (US citizen focused) thing about it 6 yrs ago
They might have eight months to pull this crap. Until 01/20/2017.
Sharia-compliant just means that they lie about not paying interest and call it something else.
The principal stated in the contract is the equivalent of the principal and interest to be paid. As you said it is a lie.
Kinda like islam is a religion of peace.
“The developer of the ill-fated Ground Zero Mosque won’t relent…”
The greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization won’t relent. Its gains since 09/11/01 in the republic are unprecedented.
I think an Islamic museum would be fine. After all Muslims are removed, by what ever means, a museum could house exhibits deppicting their perfidy and evil ways.
They’ll have to find a Muslim owned insurer to get coverage.
“They’ll have to find a Muslim owned insurer to get coverage.”
Insurance doesn’t exist in Sharia, it’s specifically “banned” (Well, not “banned” but it’s not something that muslims do)
In order to get a place here, you’ll be Muslim (Which will be the case, because the waiting list will be a mile long) or you’ll pay the Jizya. You’ll keep a certain amount of wealth on the premises and this building will be LOADED with weapons.
Manhattan zoning and policing already complies with Sharia law. That’s why there are so many reports of Muslims passing through checkpoints and airport security (They first tried to say it was because of profiling. But we all know that for awhile the TSA was allowing Muslims through the line because of Taqiyya (Which is more than just lying, it’s an outline of cultural respect)
Made me warm and fuzzy too:)
