Judge Rules Ex-Firefighter Cannot Sue Over Mosque NY Times

A Manhattan judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a former New York City firefighter who is trying to stop the construction of an Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan.

The former firefighter, Timothy Brown, sought to overturn a decision by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission to deny landmark status for a 150-year-old building on Park Place that would be demolished to make way for the center.

[..]

In a decision issued on Friday, Justice Paul G. Feinman of State Supreme Court in Manhattan wrote that Mr. Brown was “an individual with a strong interest in preservation of the building” but added that Mr. Brown lacked any special legal standing on its fate.

The community center project was proposed by a developer, Sharif el-Gamal; the imam of a nearby mosque, Feisal Abdul Rauf; and his wife, Daisy Khan. Critics of the project contended that it was wrong to place a mosque so close to where the 9/11 attack was carried out by Muslim extremists. After a hearing in March, Mr. Brown called the developers “un-American.”

[...]

The decision removed what would appear to be the last legal challenge to the project, but the development faces other obstacles. Mr. Gamal has acknowledged, for instance, that he has not raised much of the $100 million needed to build the center.

Jack Lester, a lawyer for Mr. Brown, said on Sunday: “We believe the brave men and women who risked their lives have standing to preserve the monuments and historic buildings at ground zero.”

Mr. Gamal’s lawyer, Adam Leitman Bailey, called the decision “a victory for America” and said: “Despite the tempest of religious hatred, the judge flexed our Constitution’s muscles enforcing the very bedrock of our democracy.”

Spoken like a true stealth jihadist.

It may be legal, but it can still be a target.

Just sayin’.

I suppose it would be worthwhile to get arrested for taking a dump in the middle of the floor.

Terroristic threats, eh? That’s brilliant. I was going to hit the abuse button, but I think I’ll leave your stupidity out in the open.

"I suppose it would be worthwhile to get arrested for taking a dump in the middle of the floor."

The mosque grounds will be one of the few places in NYC where laws against public urination and defecation will actually be enforced.

This is another huge attack on New York, and on America.

The terrorist’s murdering “religion of murder” will have their evil holy mosque to celebrate all of the attacks on we the people’s freedoms and rights and all coming attacks and murders of all people around the world. The New York government is either with the terrorists or bribed by them.

No one will love New York when it’s the center of islamic propaganda and it’s perverted islamic mobs go about murdering and trying to control all that goes on in New York.

I wonder when they will be bombing theaters music centers.

No one interested in “peaceful coexistence” works this hard at getting in your face.

How about turning a herd of swine loose at the site some evening after gorging them with ExLax?

This is just a prediction but I’m thinking a little “Jewish Lightening” may hit this Mosque just about the time its almost finished.

I'm guessing you're in college? That would explain your weird obsession with college majors, and it would also explain your behavior.

It’s time for Americans to put an end to this Mosque plan. We cannot rely on politicians, zoning boards, judiciary, compassion or good taste to do it for us. If we don’t stop this, hundreds of thousands from around the world will make the pilgrimage to worship at little Mecca and dance on the graves of our murdered citizens.

If this “victory mosque” is built, it will very revealing WHO will actually build it. No doubt, leftwing/Socialist Unions will be involved.
