Ground Zero mosque developers apply for federal grant: report
nypost.com ^ | November 22 | POST STAFF REPORT

Posted on 11/22/2010 10:59:33 AM PST by VU4G10

The developers behind the proposed Ground Zero mosque have applied for about $5 million in federal grant money set aside for redeveloping downtown Manhattan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a new report.

The application was submitted as a "community and cultural enhancement" grant, which is a program run by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corp.

Developer Sharif El-Gamal discussed the grant proposal in recent closed-door meetings, according to The Daily Beast.

The revelation that the developers have asked for this grant could reignite outrage about the mosque's proposed location.

They are taking IMO a page from the Leftist/Marxist playbook as we are already paying for our ultimate destruction via our taxes for the many Leftist programs that have been legislated to the Federal Government as it is.

All those accumulated Leftist Social programs administered by Leftist created, and staffed Bureaucracies providing Leftist oriented NGO’s, University grants, and so forth at the expense of American taxpayers, and now the Muzzie’s want their fair share of our complacency.

The revolution must be with an eye to reverting The Fed to the Constitution, and the Left to an institution.

And now we are going to pay for this B/S too!

I hang on the hope that some talented nut case will come out for his 15 minutes of fame.

could? COULD??? COULD!!!

Interesting, though, that their going after the 9/11 redevelopment money helps to prove that it is in a sensitive area. And using Federal money to establish a church? That should cause some "separation anxiety," shouldn't it?

The Muslims have learned well the lesson from the parable of "The Camel's Nose":
Once upon a time there was an Arab who wanted to cross a wide desert. So he fed and watered his camel well, and got all necessary supplies, and started out. The very first afternoon, a sandstorm began to blow. The Arab got off his Camel and pitched his tent and climbed in, to wait out the storm.

After a while, the Camel said, "Master, pray let me put my nose under your tent, for the sand is blowing in my nose. If I suffocate, I cannot carry you across the desert." So the Arab let the camel put his nose under the tent.

Shortly thereafter, the Camel said, "Pray, Master, let me put my eyes under your tent, because the sand is blowing in my eyes, and if I go blind, I cannot carry you across the desert." So the Arab let the Camel put his eyes under the tent.

THEN after a suitable delay, the Camel asked, "Pray, let me put my ears under your tent, as the sand is blowing in my ears."

This was shortly followed by, "The sand is blowing on the cut on my shoulder, Pray let me put my Shoulder under your tent." So the Arab let the Camel put his shoulder under the tent. And shortly thereafter the Camel pushed the Arab out of his own tent.

Rauf added that the mosque and Islamic cultural center will have a board of directors that will include Muslims, Christians and Jews. Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/ground_zero_mosque_developers_apply_OnkK3aUDQGaiL45Xcf31VM#ixzz162iYrum9

The day that a Jew is appointed to that BoD is the day Rauf gets a fatwah on his head.

Prepare to have $5M of your taxpayer dollars confiscated and given to the Islamists to build a victory mosque at ground zero.

They must of felt confident people allocating funds would send them money. Didn't the Imam also get tax dollars for his run down housing buildings, the state department spent tax dollars to buy and distribute his Islam book.

“Rauf told “60 Minutes” in September that to reduce fears that terror organizations would contribute to the project, he’ll ask US officials to approve the sources of funding.”

Yet another threat from these clowns. I guess if they don’t get their hands on our tax dollars..then they will ask terrorists for money? Unfreakinbelievable.

Meanwhile Obama is abandoning our border, strip searching American citizens at airports and allowing Muslims to ‘pat themselves down’.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!

And there is no time left to waste. When all the new illegals (since Reagan Amnesty) become eligible to vote, it will be way too late to revive our Constitutional Republic.

I am beginning to think that just living in NY City requires one to have one’s brain removed.

They re-elected Michael Bloomberg.
