This story makes me sick.

[My Favorite Headache]

Rudy would never have allowed this...Bloomberg...thanks for lookin out for us.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Soros and Michael Ratner are involved with this Imam... they wanted to build the shrine to to the whore of political correctness at Ground Zero before:

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 : (9/11 ATTACKS— See GROUND ZERO “BLAME AMERICA FIRST PC MEMORIAL” & RATNER FAMILY {see CCR* [See SAMI AL ARIAN]}) And this is the same clan [RATNER FAMILY] who wants to build the ‘Blame America First Memorial Museum” at Ground Zero.

2001 LATE : (MICHAEL RATNER LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE ON 9/11 AFTERMATH—see CCR {see SAMI AL ARIAN}) The fight to liberate Guantanamo prison
As the wreckage of the Twin Towers was still smoldering, Michael Ratner began planning his attack on America’s post-9/11 defense strategy. Realizing that it would take major legal clout to seriously subvert the War on Terror, Ratner began taking steps to attract major U.S law firms to his cause. First, he adopted a high public profile against the Bush administration’s reaction to 9/11 by savaging every facet of its plan to protect the U.S. from future attack. Working the “civil liberties” angle for all its worth, Ratner raged at the Patriot Act, railed against profiling techniques designed to ferret out Islamic terrorists in our midst, and opposed invading Afghanistan to hunt down and capture Osama bin Laden and his Taliban henchmen.
The mainstream press assisted Ratner by promoting him as a champion of civil rights while carefully hiding his lifelong radicalims from the American public (see below). -——— “The man behind the attack on Guantanamo,” (traitorous b*st*rd Michael Ratner) , By Rocco DiPippo, FrontPageMagazine.com, front page mag , June 16, 2005

who was the owner of that piece of property. I can’t believe the selling price.

That should be in the public title records. This story should be considered suspect until the name of the seller is published.

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Doesn't seem to be anything mysterious about it. Jihadists are laughing their *ss off from Arabia to Iran to Afghanistan to Pakistan. They think we're selling, more accurately giving, them the rope to hang us. Time will tell.

[the anti-liberal]

She was probably “encouraged” to reduce the price 13M. How else do you go from $18M to under 5?

[Indy Pendance]

I wonder how many jobs this will save or create?

Hey Guy...thx for the ping.
This is astonishing but, unfortunately not completely shocking.
Just a suggestion, I don’t know what your line of work is but you might consider to moving to the midwest in the interest of survival. Cost of living is pretty good (don’t know how long that will last though, with the spendfest going on). And there’s more of ‘us’ then ‘them’. Bring your family to a safer place.
Housing is cheap (way cheaper than NY).

"The 61-year-old Imam said he paid $4.85 million for it — in cash,....." That price seems a weeeeeeeeeeeeee bit low for a whole building in Lower Manhattan.....hmmmmmmmm.

With no bank check records, how do we know this story is real? The blog reports are sketchy and do not name the seller.

[piasa]

Wonder if this guy is involved- the jackarse who just after 9/11 tried to give NY the snarky conditional check that Guiliani rejected:

* ALWALEED BIN TALAL BIN ABDUL AZIZ AL SAUD, THE GUY WHOSE SNARKY POST-9/11 DONATION WAS REJECTED BY NY MAYOR RUDY GUILIANI; BIN TALAL EMPLOYS AS AN AIDE AN OBAMA SUPPORTER BY THE NAME OF DON WARDEN aka KHALID ABDULLAH TARIQ AL-MANSOUR [OBAMA SUPPORTER, ADVISOR TO BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOUNDERS HUEY NEWTON AND BOBBY SEALE]

* ALWALEED BIN TALAL BIN ABDUL AZIZ AL SAUD: “ A renowned philanthropist, the prince has made two donations of £10 million to establish Islamic studies centres at Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Georgetown, in Washington. He also gave £10 million to fund an Islamic art wing at the Louvre Museum in Paris.”

may we never forget...

[SunkenCiv]

Gosh, it sounds like it might have been some Moslems. Got a bargain on the site, too. And paid cash. Probably no foreign money involved at all. /s /s /s

Thanks hennie pennie.

[Irish Eyes]

Who sold them the property?

[OafOfOffice]

This attacks the Jews,Christians and all freedon loving American citizens that radical Islam wants wiped off the face of this earth. They make a in your face statement to us all.

Political correctness and Obama’s muslim religion will allow this travesty to happen in New York where people have been devastated by the radicals of this religion. Think about this, if they really did not like what happened 9/11, would they build right there? If they had any common decency they would not.

Or is this a slight of hand trick they will use during the KSM trials?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Check tax, insurance, and permit offices to see who is behind this purchase.

This little mullah got the money from somewhere. Might be worth a grand jury look-see, eh?

[Fudd Fan]

You’re reading my mind on that one. I totally agree.
