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.

“Imam paid $4.85M for Ground Zero mosque – in CASH!”

SNIPPET: “Where did imam Faisal, who called America and Christians the first terrorists and whose wife is on an advisory team for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, come up with $4.85 million in cash? And where will he get the $150 million to build an Islamic mecca planned two blocks from Ground Zero?”

“Mosque At the World Trade Center: Muslim Renewal Or Insult Near Ground Zero”
SNIPPET: “One of the investors for future oncoming funds is listed as the Cordoba Initiative, defined as an ‘’interfaith group’’ - and founded by Imam Feisal. Cordoba is the name militant Muslims often invoke when they recall the glory of Muslim empire in the centuries they occupied Spain.
As a former New York Times and Wall Street Journal correspondent, and as a New York Sun columnist who covered Islamic Fundamentalism extensively overseas and in the USA, I find the facts oddly lacking. The story as reported fails to answer, and avoid asking, so many pertinent questions.
The source of money matters as a significant part of the hundreds of mosques being built and already erected in this country double up as cultural Islamic centers for distributing literature— Islamist propaganda in fact—from Bay Ridge Brooklyn to Detroit, and for schooling growing Muslim minorities. They house Imams of unknown origin and education, many of whom do not speak a word of English but preach in Arabic and Urdu — radical messages, it often turns out.
As a reporter familiar with the Arab communities of the USA, I doubt the faithful fork out all that money for mega mosques, and if they did, the mayor’s office should prove it, not merely accept someone’s say so. It is an established fact that a significant percentage of the mosques built in the USA in the past two decades are receiving a disproportionate amount of their funds not only from the Saudis, but also the UAE, Qatar and Iran — all problematic Islamists activist nations. The government just discontinued work on a major Iranian-funded mosque and center in New York City, which had operated under the radar since the days of the good old Shah of Iran under the auspices of the Pahlavi Foundation, and has beenowned since 1979 by the Mullahs of Iran.
The context here is that 15 of the 19 perpetrators of the attacks — on the very site where this new mosque shall rise — came from Saudi Arabia.”

Flush 'em out, dry 'em out, and put back to refueling work.
Just nuke em.
That would work too, but not be nearly so humiliating. Maybe wrap the nukes in bacon?
Perhaps a pork sausage factory can be fired up, just upwind of the building. They probably wouldn’t want to move in after that...
Pig’s blood works wonders from what I understand.
I don't put anything past that POS, George Soros.
The apostasy of Christianity coincides with the rise of Islam in the west. And it's no coincidence this was foretold in 1917 in Portugal.
This news pretty much brings it all many steps forward from a C/T. It’s hard for me to believe now that something such as this wasn’t the initial plan and that the attacks were just the first strike at our heart.
You might be on to something. Wrapping the nukes in bacon would result in nice crispy bacon atoms covering the entire region. Excellent delivery system you just thought of.
LLS
Yeah, that’s going to work. Once the doors open the public has a ready place to protest, picket, etc. I repeat, yeah, that’s gonna work. Time to rethink your plans on this one, muslims.
That single act would utterly destroy Islam, since it would prove to current muslims that Allah is a false god. They would - if they persisted - have to pray to a proven false god and toward a stinky radioactive spot of glass - how humiliating for them!
The pig crap should be added after while still warm, since that would insure a lasting, odoriferous ‘baked-in’ effect, rather than vaporizing it during the glass making operation.
Why this is a good idea: since in Islam Allah determines every single act, thought, and molecular movement, Allah would be proven false, weak and utterly incompetent. No one would believe one word in the book formerly known as the koran.
“can we all chip in and buy a pig-racing track next to the mosque?”
A dog track would work just as well and bring in more money...
“This is just their way to get close to their real goal, to build a mosque right on the site of the Twin Towers.
Kinda like the islamic muslim terrorist mosque on the Israel Holy Ground The Temple Mount.
Called the Dome of the Rock
I imagine the islamic muslims will want to call this one the Dome of the Towers.”
And like the Dome of the Rock - built by a caliph whose court was bored and wanted to return to Amon, to ensure their support turned the hated site of the Temple into a lucrative tourist attraction complete with religious myth - that too will become a lucrative tourist attraction.
If they didn’t kill apostates there would be a mass exodus of the muslim faith.
There seems to be one some 14.5 miles out of town in Clinton, Ill.
I bet it wouldn’t take long for some imam somewhere to find an obscure passage in the Koran that would allow the site to be built, even if it is discovered that a pig farm was once located on that land. You know—sort of like how the Dems find all sorts of things in the U.S. Consitituon that aren’t there.
Or territory they expect soon to be theirs. I think they have been encouraged by Bambi's statement that the US is "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world" and think that it's only a matter of time, now.
