Attempt to block 'Ground Zero mosque' fails
BBC World News ^ | 3 August 2010 | BBC

An attempt to stop a plan for a mosque near New York's Ground Zero has failed after the site was denied landmark status.

The scheme for a 13-story Islamic cultural centre and mosque several hundred feet away from the site of the Twin Towers has drawn criticism.

Opponents had hoped the Landmarks Preservation Commission would protect the building.

Some relatives of 9/11 victims are against the building of a mosque.

There could always be some way of insuring that they have to keep rebuilding it...

How about an eye for an eye? That concept is acceptable among the heathens.

I foresee another of those unfortunate construction crane incidents in Manhattan. Maybe several.

If this is built, it will be coming down. Count on it.

Careful what you wish for. In the war on terror, the US has killed far more Muslims than the other way around.

It is perfectly acceptable by islamic standards, they would approve of the act based on their own belief system.

We should ALL go see it and leave some pork products accidentally.

No, that’s just silly.

We should NUKE THEM ALL!

That is serious.

They are going to enslave our children’s children and bring a 2nd dark age of not THE dark age upon us.

No mercy for these vermin.

This thing will never be built. I predict sub-standard concrete that will have to be torn out and re-poured again and again, missing rebar, failed inspections, cost overruns like even NYC has never seen, random thefts of materials, water breaks, bad sewer connections, electrical fires, etc., etc. Remember, builders - even union ones - aren’t likely to take kindly to the “Victory Mosque” in their city.

And if the people funding the project try to bring in outsiders - as in purely muslim labor from the Middle East - I expect lawsuits, pickets, violence, etc.

I hope it bankrupts the people funding it...

Unless the mosque is stopped, we can expect the following in just a few years in New York City:

Calls for self-governing neighborhoods around the mosque according to Shariah law;

Increased anti-Semitic rhetoric and activity by Muslims followed by an exodus of Jews from the city. This is what is happening in major cities in Europe.

Islamists judged the sentiment of the U.S. (NYC in particular) well. They noted that there was no moral condemnation of the atrocity followed by assertions of moral superiority of the Judeo-Christian foundations of U.S. society. There was only “regret for the tragedy of 9-11” followed by multi-culti platitudes of “tolerance” for all viewpoints. The planned mosque is also supposed to include a “cultural center”; like all such cultural centers in all such mosques across Europe, it will greatly enhance Islamic efforts to recruit and radicalize young people, sharpening whatever discontents they feel toward American society.

Expect more Times Square bombers in the near future, plus terrorism in the very busy NYC subway system. The mosque/cultural-center is a huge propaganda symbol of psychological victory over Islam’s enemies: the west.

Seems the powers that be in the Big Apple have dropped trou, squatted and pinched a big steaming pile on the graves of 3.000 innocents. Way to go, Yankee scum!
