Mysterious Group Buys Building Next to Ground Zero For Mosque

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.

American leftists and other kooks have definitely arrived and thrived in Malaysia:

JUNE 13 2006 TUE : (MALAYSIAN REPORT : US CONSPIRACY NUT SELLING BOOKS) The American media is controlled by certain groups which plan to destroy the Islamic world, according to an American media expert. Michael Collins Piper said a group of family and financial interests people in the United States were using the media to control government policies. “They will not be satisfied because Islam is the last religion standing in the way of the new world order,” he added. Piper is the author of “The Final Judgment”, a book which provides evidence in support of the theory that former US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in a combined Mossad/CIA operation.

I wouldn't be surprised if their intentions are to build a terrorist recruiting center.

Or worse.

Aloha Victoria!

Stay sharp during these times of the Great Enabler. This sort of thing wouldn't have a chance of happening a couple years ago.

But above all have a Merry Christmas and keep the Spirit alive.

Not if it’s built by strictly union workers. They’re in the tank with our Muslime CIC, after all.

they have bought a ton of little tiny backwoods churches here in Florida and have stuck up signs saying “Islamic center” outside of them

I suspect it is like a dog marking his territory.

Once land is muslim, it is part of dar es Salaam, the land of Islam.

Pushin and pushing, they are asking for a major can of WhoopAss to be delivered.

Drill, baby, drill: it is the first step in liberating ourselves from this ilk.

The origins of such monies are unexplained; neither are the countries or entity advancing such huge donations. Most US mosques, including many in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx are funded directly or indirectly by Saudi Arabia the country to which 15 of the 19 hijackers who bombed the World TradeCenter belonged. The UAE, Qatar and Iran are other major sponsors across the USA.

I wouldn't be surprised if their intentions are to build a terrorist recruiting center. Since the terrorists' trial is going to be held in NYC, I imagine how these people might feel emboldened by such a move, and how they would want to make a big issue for their “cause” and use the free publicity to their advantage. So what better place for a mosque, or whatever they want to call it, to voice heir hatred for America.

You ARE being destroyed from within but the question still remains: WHAT IS AMERICA GOING TO DO ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW??? You depending on 2010 elections? FORGET IT!! They will have EVERYTHING passed before that as it is unfolding. There will be NO avenue left but a STRONG revolution. Better happen soon or it won’t be effective at all. America has been overtaken by an entire enemy!! He now holds the highest office in the land. He doesn’t deserve the office. He doesn’t qualify for the office. Yet, NOBODY will listen. Sounds like a huge conspiracy to me. They talked about George Bush and a conspiracy - what a laugh. He had more respect for the office than Obama has for a blade of grass on the front lawn. Get RID OF THIS SCUM!! CO

A close reading of that initiative shows that the thrust of it is to declare the US an Islamic Country, because we meet certain criteria.

Hence, 0bama's comment that we are not a Christian nation plays right into their hands.

Regrettably, short of a stock-market collapse, this desired outcome of smoking out Obama and Company will not happen. We have a fickle electorate. Tomorrow, per chance if Osama Bin Ladin is killed or captured, Obama’s poll numbers will rocket through the roof..

Is it blood where the bodies landed from falling?

"Landing" is too kind a word to describe what happened to those humans.

They exploded as they landed.
