Mysterious Group Buys Building Next to Ground Zero For Mosque Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Jim Hoft

A mysterous Muslim group with unknown sponsors has purchased a building steps away from Ground Zero. Hudson New York reported:

An identified group with unknown sponsors has purchased building steps away from where the WorldTrade Center once stood — to turn it into potentially one of the largest New York City mosques.

At the moment the building, the old Burlington Coat Factory, already serves as a mini-mosque: an iron grill lifts every Friday afternoon for a little known Imam leading prayers a few yards away from where Osama Bin Laden’s airborne Islamist bombers killed nearly 3000 people back in 2001.

The Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, told the New York Times — which put the story on its front page Wednesday — that he has assembled several million dollars to turn it into ‘’an Islamic center near the city’s most hallowed piece of land that would stand as one of ground zero’s more unexpected and striking neighbors.’’

The 61-year-old Imam said he paid $4.85 million for it — in cash, records show. With 50,000 square feet of air rights and enough financing, he plans an ambitious project of $150 million, he said, akin to the Chautauqua Institution, the 92 Street Y or the Jewish Community Center.

Maybe we can build a cathedral in Mecca - yeah, right.

[al baby]

AMOBO and Assoc. bought it

Once built, it should get the same treatment the twin towers got.

Ok. So that triggered the 10K limit on cash transactions and it will not be secret much longer right? Oh, and someone should have zoned this kind of crap out of the area on 9/12. I say no way.

I vote for covering mecca in glass, right after we cover it in pig feces

They went out of their way to slap us in the face again. Who could have been so inhuman as to sell them that property? Nothing should surprise me now days.

If this is true, it is an in-your-face disgusting move by the Muzzies and once again shows why you can’t trust any of them because it is impossible to tell the good from the evil.

[OldDeckHand]

Probably part of the plan from the very beginning. If people want to look for real 9/11 conspiracy theories, they might want to start with this. Destroy the #1 symbol of American free markets and international trade, and replace it with the first shrine to Muslim hegemony.

can we all chip in and buy a pig-racing track next to the mosque?

[Merlinator]

How about a huge airlifted cargo of pig intestines dumped on it just as they break ground? Wouldn’t the land be “unclean” then?

[353FMG]

Just glass is good enough.

[Merlinator]

They will probably have Obamass cut the ribbon at groundbreaking.

That sounds great! We'd have to have Pig stables as well and we could butcher the losing pigs and sell them fresh to supplement income. Too bad the drainage will have problems and leak over into the mosque property.

Pig head burial ground.... ??
