Mayor Bloomberg can get his image in the news by Fast tracking the MOSQUE @ Ground Zero. However he will not intervene with the Port Authority of New York in order to jump start the re-building of a church which was destroyed on the morning of September 11, 2001 by the terror attack which killed over 3,000 Americans.
Me thinks His Honor is a weasel.

Ask the Death Mosque Imam for the funds to rebuild the Christian church.
How neighborly! I’m sure the muslims would embrace such ecumenical outreach.

I think that you need to give a sincere apology to weasels.
They have NOT spit in the face of New Yok and America like Bloomberg has.

the New York Times story is from 2008. Has there been any progress with getting it built or is it still in limbo?

A decade has 3653 days, the united states has 2.3 billion acres, and 1209 mosques. Yet by coincidence the 1210th mosque will be built on the 10 year anniversary right next to ground zero.

By the way, amid all the claims by the supporters of the Cordoba House that there needs to be a mosque to serve the Muslims of downtown Manhattan, no mainstream news outlet has observed that the Masjid Muhammad mosque is located two blocks from the proposed site and has been open since 1970.

As you mentioned: Bloomberg.........ask him why the GZ victory mosque has been fast tracked as compared to the St. Nicholas church.... =.=

This story should be re-worked and Madeline’s pix included in the post, suggested title; “Nevermind The GZ Mosque Where Is The Church of St Nickolas ? and inserted into every GZ Mosque posting

Glenn Beck had a caller on just about 15 minutes ago asking about this church and my phone rang so I didn’t hear what Glenn said to him......did anyone hear it?

Is far as I can tell, There is still an impasse between the Port Authority of NY/NJ and the Greek Orthodox Community about the location and eventual ground breaking for this Church.
Another FREEPER mentioned that there is already a MOSQUE in Downtown Manhattan Area close to ground zero to serve the Muslim Community there. So the question we should all have for Mayor Bloomberg is this:
Why is this new MOSQUE being built?
I won't hold my breath for an answer.

This is a Quote from the Article of 2008 which I found interesting.
'Both St. Nicholas and the Port Authority are eager to resolve the issues quickly, especially since the authority plans to pick a contractor to build the southern perimeter wall for the entire site this summer, and it needs title to the churchs property to proceed. But officials involved in the talks say there remain substantial differences over the size of the church complex and the amount of money the Port Authority will contribute to building it.'
After 2 years have gone by I would characterize the efforts of the Port Authority of NY/NJ as anything but 'eager'.
The article also mentioned that the reconstructed Church would serve about 70 families.
Though not a member of this denomination, I would be eager when the church is finally built to patronize it from time to time. furthermore, I strongly suggest that the rebuilt Greek Orthodox Church become a monument for all of those who believe in real religious freedom and not the politically correct version which the political miscreants like Mayor Bloomberg wallow in.

Since that posting even Rush picked it up in his (todays) show. He went into detail on the history of the place and that the Greek diocease wanted to make it into a full orthodox ediface replete with a dome. But the port authority nixed it. THIS IS AN USSUE WORTH PUSHING
