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.

There will be hell to pay if federal money is used to build that mosque (if it is ever built). Even obama can’t be that stupid.

How much more in your face can they get?

Mitt Romney deserves credit. Click below.
Romney is tied in through every aspect
of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.
Was it an order from his JET Blue partner, Soros?
or something else?


How much of the money for these attacks against the GOP
by Team Romney were funded by money which Romney
got from the Victory Mosque at Ground Zero through Bain?

"Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney's operation. "


"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it's OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


"Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney's operation. "

You know what will happen if they build it.
People can be pushed just so much.

Too bad. New Yorkers could stop this insanity.

Looming over the remains of the WTC, this mosque will certainly "enhance" the victory of the world-wide Muslim culture.

The many-storied structure will be sure to attract millions of Allah's international community to make an annual haj-like visit to the mammoth observation windows that peer haughtily down onto the battleground of the defeated: Ground Zero.

They will get the grant as it would be racist, sexist, homophobic, and Islamophobic to deny it.

Question: Are the “developers” natural-born US citizens (not of illegal alien parents), permanent resident aliens, or illegals?

“Of course if St. Nicholas’ Church applied for the same money it would be rejected on “church-state-separation” grounds. Apparently it is OK to combine mosque and state.”

Thats the key. The Constitution talks about the separation of CHURCH and state, not MOSQUE and state.

The Hondurans didn’t allow a traitor, who planned to change their Consitution be President. In fact, they took Zalaya out in his pajamas from the equivalant of the WH, and put him on a plane and exiled him from their country. The Hondurans had a new election, and even Obama and Hillary couldn’t change their minds by cutting off their financial aid.

“...Up until now the only argument they had going for them was that it was a private business transaction, and we the people really didn’t have anything to say about it...”

I wonder if some of their financial support has stepped away, and they are scrambling for funds.
