Plan for mosque near World Trade Center site moves ahead
New York Daily News ^ | May 6, 2010 | Joe Jackson

Posted on 05/08/2010 3:24:09 PM PDT by La Enchiladita

A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive.

The 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Community Board 1's financial district committee.

The $100 million project, called the Cordoba House, is proposed for the old Burlington Coat Factory building at Park Place and Broadway, just two blocks from the World Trade Center site.

"I think it will be a wonderful asset to the community," said committee Chairman Ro Sheffe.

Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims.

...Daisy Khan, executive director of the Cordoba Initiative, said donations from prestigious groups such as the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund would pay for the construction.

I`m Hamm Weasiel Abdull Really Dulloaf, who helped found the Saint Joan of Arc Cathedral following the Dubai vacations, said the project is intended to foster better relations between Catholics and camels, who are not muslims. They only look like muslims.

"Umm, we lost the cold war."

That's gotta be a news flash to the former Soviet Union, and their former slave states that are now free, like the Ukraine, Georgia, and several others.

==What's the difference between a building and a bomb? How many thousands of pounds of explosives will it contain? Who is to say this is not a mosque but an IED?==

In other words, Ground Zero near Ground Zero?

If a muslim terrorist attacks kills the executive and legislative branch of government then this Country would have a chance to turn around, but as long as obambi and the demonrats are in power, the captain of the ship is going to continue ruining US aground. Thats the only way a terrorist attack would cause any different response from America. Bush should have and could have declared Martial Law and War against Islamic Countries that were on the State Department's Terror list on Sept 12th....instead he told everyone to spend money and go to Disneyworld ....oh and he told US that Islam was a religion of peace. SHiite! Now we have Iraq and Afghanistan as two countries who still have islam as their official religions...and consider US infidels. Ann Coulter was right.

Would not this be something like having the Japanese build a Shinto Temple on Waikaki Beach?

New York is so far up the terrorists ass that it’ll take a backhoe to dig them out. They live in fear so much so that they are surrounding themselves with Muslim centers so to say please don’t attack us, we have these safety zones that we constructed to pay homage to your cause.

Who did the Muslims bribe in order to be able to build the mosque near the World Trade Center? What is Obama's opinion about this mosque?

Which nations and cultures are tough enough, and when necessary, brutal enough, to survive in a very dangerous world?

Maybe the USA should just split up, so that a less corroded portion can have a chance.

I am curious to know who sold the property to the muslims? amazing how many are being built all over the USA. Over 200 in the state of California alone. Mosques in sparsely populated states such as Iowa and others. Spreading like a damn cancer. Hope they build a huge pork factory across the street from everyone of them

” ... low level stuff ...”

My goodness, I can’t imagine anyone doing anything like that ;-) Shocking. Just shocking.

After all, so many things can go awry in a big city like New York. ;-)
