Appalling. GET THE UN OUT OF THE U.S. NOW! >:-( New Yorkers, are you all REALLY going to let this happen, 2 blocks from where the WTC towers once stood, and so many innocents were murdered??

Can you imagine visiting the sight to think/reflect about a lost loved one, and hearing what Obama calls 'the most beautiful sound in the world', the Muslim call to prayers several times a day while you remember the horrors of 9/11/01????

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

UN funds? And we fund most of the UN.

And we say the UK and the rest of Europe are screwed?

[a fool in paradise]

How many times have liberals stepped up to fund the construction of a church?

[a fool in paradise]

“Qatar government fund $576,312”

Our constitutional prohibition on government established religion includes this. Who says it is just OUR nation that cannot fund religion in THIS NATION?

[Eyes Unclouded]

Hilarious. We still haven’t built anything there but soon the muezzin will call out. People wonder why everyone is betting for us to fall this century.

[Jeff Chandler]

New Yorkers, are you all REALLY going to let this happen, 2 blocks from where the WTC towers once stood, and so many innocents were murdered?

I wonder how many New Yorkers believe that 9-11 was a right wing, Christian, military, CIA, Republican, Bush/Cheney/Halliburton inside job?

[MissTed]

This makes me sick.

[Waco]

Most of the money to be provided for this comes from the US taxpayers. The UN don’t got no money, it’s money comes from the various members, but you ain’t supposed to know this, right???

[ardara]

This was done while the POWERS THAT BE have done all in their power to prevent a suitable religious display from being built ar GROUND ZERO to honor those that died on 9/11.

The 911 Mosque Community Board Meeting May 25 - Be There!

By Pamela Geller

Last week, the finance committee, composed of 12 people, voted unanimously in support the mosque after Imam Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan, made a presentation, no one knew about it, no announcement was made. The matter will now go to the full committee (more than 40 people). The full committee will be meeting on May 25. We need you all to attend to voice your opposition.

CB1 has no legal authority. Their "approval" or disapproval is in no way binding on the matter, but the media will be there and we need to send a message to Rauf, Khan and Mayor Bloomberg: This is wrong. This will do terrible harm to the 9/11 family community.

5/25 CB #1 Monthly Meeting - 6:00 PM
Location: Three Legged Dog Art and Technology Center
80 Greenwich Street (at Rector Street)

Bill Doyle, 911 family member and father of the beloved Joey Doyle,

Plans have been announced to build a mega-mosque and cultural center at 45 Park Avenue, just 600 feet from the footprint of the north tower at the World Trade Center site. The building housed the Burlington Coat Factory, which was reportedly damaged in the attacks and which has stood vacant all these years. It's owners sold the building to Soho Properties for $4.85 million dollars in cash. Yes, CASH. Soho properties CEO Sharif Al-Gamal has not identified the company's other investors, but we know that one of them is Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder of the Cordoba Initiative www.cordobainitiative.org. Rauf has ties to Gulf money and has received funding from the Malaysian government, the location of the largest Muslim population in the world. Malaysia embraces shariah law and has separate shariah courts. In January, three Christian churches were fire-bombed after a Catholic newspaper referred to the Christian God as "Allah." Rauf wrote that while this might have been legal, it was "socially inappropriate" because it upset the Muslim community, 60% of the population. He also maintains that the Prophet Mohammed was "the world's first feminist" and that the two biggest myths about Islam was that it promotes terrorism and that it oppresses women. He says the prophet Mohammed was "the world's first feminist." He embraces shariah law and says that it is a benign set of pious rules which are completely compatible with the U.S. Constitution.

Rauf is the imam of the Masjid Al-Farah mosque, a storefront mosque in Tribeca. He and his wife, Daisy Khan, (executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement--founded by Rauf) have told the media that the mosque is needed in this location to meet the needs of the Muslim population there. They hope to "grow the Muslim community" in lower Manhattan. They specifically chose this site because of its proximity to ground zero. They want to change the narrative about 9/11. They contend that the 19 hijackers "were not Muslims." They believe building a mosque there would amount to "something positive" coming out of 9/11.

911 Mosque Facts Sheet: Arm Yourself with Facts:

Rauf has stated that the U.S. was complicit in the attacks because of its foreign policy which victimized Muslims. He maintains that terrorism will not end until the U.S. brokers a peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israel and the U.S. stops humiliating Muslims.

Rauf and Khan are saying that:

--the National September 11 Memorial and Museum Foundation has endorsed the plan. ABSOLUTELY FALSE
--Daisy Khan is an "advisor" to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum Foundation. FALSE. There is no formal relationship.
--300 Muslims were killed on 9/11. FALSE; around 20 have been identified. The victims were never identified anywhere by religion unless families did so. There is no evidence that 300 victims were Muslims.
--they are not building a mosque, just a prayer space and a cultural center. FALSE (see the description of Cordoba House here www.cordobainitiative.org; "...the mosque...")

The media incorrectly reported that Community Board 1 "approved" the plan at a meeting on May 5th. In fact, the finance committee, composed of 12 people, voted unanimously in support after Rauf and Khan made a presentation. The matter will now go to the full committee (more than 40 people). The full committee will be meeting on May 25. WE NEED YOU ALL TO ATTEND TO VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION. CB1 has no legal authority. Their "approval" or disapproval is in no way binding on the matter, but the media will be there and we need to send a message to Rauf, Khan and Mayor Bloomberg: this is wrong. This will do terrible harm to the 9/11 family community.

5/25 CB #1 Monthly Meeting - 6:00 PM
Location: Three Legged Dog Art and Technology Center
80 Greenwich Street (at Rector Street)

There will be a rally on June 6 at Ground Zero, specific location to be announced. Please send this info to everyone you know. Updates can be found at www.soia.com

Meanwhile, please write to Mayor Bloomberg to voice your objection. I would remind you that he is Chairman of the National September 11 Memorial Foundation and has donated some $15 million of his own money to the project. The Cordoba House will completely under the effort to preserve the history of 9/11 for future generations.

[Dallas59]

Perfect place to build a bomb of "large" dimensions...



...to finish the jihad begun in 1993.

[TheCipher]

Maybe some enterprising New Yorker will open up a bacon shop next door.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

It’s New Yorkistan now...

[Young Werther]

I welcome this opportunity!

I propose a simple tax for the Mosque to be built. Since Manhatten real estate is prime land we should charge $1 Million dollars for each 911 seconds in a day. The proceeds will be used to compensate the family's of the 911 victims.

That works out to $34,640,614,709.11. To keep things simple we will just round that up to $35 Billion per year paid up front!

[drpix]

Also revealing are the Tax Exempt Funds contributing. Can someone tell me what does a Muslim mosque have to do with ANY of the mission statements & the declared purposes of their funding activity - which was the basis of their tax exemption? Here's from their own websites:

MDG3 Fund - "The MDG3 Fund invests in equality and in improving rights and opportunities for women and girls. "

minbuza.nl

Hunt Alternatives Fund - "Hunt Alternatives Fund advances innovative and inclusive approaches to social change at the local, national, and global levels."

huntalternatives.org

Carnegie Corporation of N.Y. - "Carnegie Corporation of New York provides grants for projects that fit within our programs' strategies and funding priorities and that advance the mission of the foundation "to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge."

carnegie.org

Rockefeller Brothers Fund - "The Rockefeller Brothers Fund promotes social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world."

rbf.org

Equality for women & girls? Advancement & diffusion of knowledge? More just, sustainable & peaceful world? Social change?

How does funding Jihad by "Taqiyya" (deception of the infidels) fit the basis of those tax exemptions?

[sheik yerbouty]

The area should be bombarded with aerosolized piork rinds so as to force the jihad %$^&*$@#$RTY to GTFO!

[West Texas Chuck]

OK, I guessed wrong, apparently. I expected it to be on the west side so they could do their little “hommina-hommina-hommina” thing 5 times a day while facing the site of the destruction. Instead, it is to the east so they can show their fuzzy headed little prevert buttholes in that direction. That’s nicer? Somebody needs to pour a couple of tons of bacon grease on that location so they know where we are coming from.
