Saudi king may want to move Ground Zero mosque to St. Vincent's site

A Manhattan lawyer with ties to the Saudi royal family is sounding out officials and community leaders about a plan to move the controversial Ground Zero mosque to the West Village.

Attorney Dudley Gaffin is claiming King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia might want to buy shuttered St. Vincent's Medical Center and transfer the mosque to a new Islamic cultural center he would build on a plot at the site, say sources who have heard Gaffin's pitch.

The king, worth more than $20 billion, would also save the hospital, reopening most of the units that closed when St. Vincent's filed for bankruptcy on April 14, the sources said.

It is becoming more obvious to the American people who it is who funds the construction of these recruiting stations for AQ and where the destruction of this country is being planned.

Not there.

I stay at the Trump International, just down the street and their 5 times a day call for ass pointing would make the area suck.

Unless this article leaves out some relevant details, it seems like a good solution. I would love to have the hospital stay opened instead of being torn down for overpriced condos. The article implies that the mosque would be a small part of the building. Since St. Vincent’s was a Catholic hospital I assume they would let the chapel stay put and the Sisters of Charity continue to do their work there. I used to live about 4 blocks from St. Vincent’s and the mosque would not disrupt the community. Perhaps it would even serve as a symbol for reconciliation since the building would have an interfaith aspect to it.

Well if there was any doubt about who’s funding muslim infiltration of this once great country, this lays it to rest. I say we tell the saudi king , you can build your mosque right after we break ground on a new Cathedral in downtown mecca.

Blow it up, wherever it’s built.

Are they going to blow up the St. Vincent site first?

I didn't know St. Vincent closed down. Wonder why?
That was a great hospital 20 years ago.

After they attacked us on 9/11, there's no good goddammed reason any of these filthy degenerate sub human raghead animals should still have 10 cents, much less 20 billion.

The Saudis are public enemy number one, Bush was in bed with them, and Hussein Obama is one of them.

The Saudis need to be destroyed, and their wealth confiscated as reparations for their cowardly attacks on Judeo-Christian interests.

Look for them to make an attempt to keep the muzzie in chief in office.

They may succeed in 2012, but the Saudi problem will be resolved, and their satanic death cult moon god ain't going to save them.

I think IF the King of Saudi Arabia wants to build a new mosque, he should go right ahead and do it.....IN SAUDI ARABIA.

Why don’t the Saudi’s just move it back to Saudi Arabia where it belongs.

Given that female American troops were forced to wear burkas so as not to “offend” the Saudis, I can’t see the Saudis keeping anything about the hospital Catholic - not the name St.Vincent’s and not the chapel and not the Sisters of Charity. The point of the purchase would be to have a big Muslim public presence will overshadow the presence of all other religions.

You are exactly right ! It's all about the "visual" of conquring a nation and why the high mineretts and choosing former churches as sites. In the Islamic mind it represents all other churches are submissive to Islam as well as the country they plant these in..

Exactly-Why build it on a former Christian hospital site, if not to stick another finger in our eyes?

That is the truth. That they not only walk among us, but now create policy and dominate our Nation, is an affront to goodness and decency.

islam out of North America!
