Mysterious Group Buys Building Next to Ground Zero For Mosque Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Jim Hoft
A mysterous Muslim group with unknown sponsors has purchased a building steps away from Ground Zero. Hudson New York reported:
An identified group with unknown sponsors has purchased building steps away from where the WorldTrade Center once stood to turn it into potentially one of the largest New York City mosques.
At the moment the building, the old Burlington Coat Factory, already serves as a mini-mosque: an iron grill lifts every Friday afternoon for a little known Imam leading prayers a few yards away from where Osama Bin Ladens airborne Islamist bombers killed nearly 3000 people back in 2001.
The Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, told the New York Times which put the story on its front page Wednesday that he has assembled several million dollars to turn it into an Islamic center near the citys most hallowed piece of land that would stand as one of ground zeros more unexpected and striking neighbors.
The 61-year-old Imam said he paid $4.85 million for it in cash, records show. With 50,000 square feet of air rights and enough financing, he plans an ambitious project of $150 million, he said, akin to the Chautauqua Institution, the 92 Street Y or the Jewish Community Center.

This is through the Muslim Brotherhood aka Saudi Arabia.Where's that picture of the big butt kissing bow? Maybe then the Obama family will then have a house of worship since the Rev. Wright is off limits and The Usurper can recite what he claims is the most beautiful sound in the world. Poor Bo.

The address is 45 Park Place which is 2 blocks north of Ground Zero. It is used as a mosque every Friday. Sounds like a great spot for a FReep.

You bastards! You’ll never learn! The only thing you understand is brute force. Keep pushing us to find out what American anger is.
The Japanese, the Nazis and the fifth century terrorists already found out the results of poking a sleeping giant. Once he wakes up, nobody will be able save you.
If you think Abu Bama could, think again.

I’ll bet the big bucks right now that a mosque will be built in Thomson, Illinois within a year of the Gitmo Gang getting shipped up there.

I only wish you were right. We are being destroyed from within with the support of our own Quislings in Congress. To quote Pogo, “we have met the enemy and it is me” How else do we explain the American electorate that keeps electing the likes of Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Boxer, Feinstein, etc

How else do we explain the American electorate that keeps electing the likes of Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Boxer, Feinstein, etc They are strangling our beloved country slowly, but surly. They are choking the life out of us be ramming their Communism down our throats. What would you do when you're at your last breath?
They're pushing us to the limit of survival as free people. We either accept slavery II or stampede them.
Dont despair; its darkest before dawn. Let them keep shutting the lights off, it will only hasten their eviction.

i WONDER if they’d sell the property quickly

It will probably be named the Mosque of the 19 Martyrs
or something like that.
Just imagine coming up with 4+ million in cash and see if
the IRS isn’t down on you like flies to honey.
