13-story mosque to be built at Ground Zero

[ConservativeJoeG]

Well, I guess that is one way to find land for your Mosque in New York.

Son of a bitch!!

Here's a query: If an attack, or something horrible comes of this mosque being built, could the people in our government be tried for aiding and abedding, or TREASON?!?

Not only are some of us just ASKING to get bit by potentially allowing this thing to be built, our corrupt government is practically BEGGING for it!!! Why?!?

It also further proves, I think, that Obama and the current govt are muslim sympathisers.

[JohnnyReb]

Just build the damn thing.....and then we can block off the street in front of it for a down home redneck pig-picking/beer bust in honor of it's grand opening/closing. Ladies with long hair and very little clothing will be especially welcome to attend.

Feds funding Ground Zero imam's Mideast trip

The imam behind a plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero is set to depart on a multi-country jaunt to the Middle East funded by the State Department -- raising concerns that taxpayers may be helping him with the controversial project's $100 million fund-raising goal.

Feisal Abdul Rauf is taking the publicly funded trip to foster "greater understanding" about Islam and Muslim communities in the United States, the State Department confirmed yesterday.
"He is a distinguished Muslim cleric," said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, when asked about the journey, reportedly to include stops in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Qatar.

"I think we are in the process of arranging for him to travel as part of this program, and it is to foster a greater understanding about the region around the world among Muslim-majority communities," he added.

Crowley said no fund-raising for the mosque and cultural center during the trip would be permitted. "That would not be something he could do as part of our program," he said.

Right.  Just like Lord Zero never does any fund raising on policy trip he makes around the country.

I would be willing to stake BOTH of my testicles on the fact that Rauf is raising money from the most radical areas in the Mid East for this abomination to be erected just feet from the worst terror attack in my lifetime.

The worst part about this is that I can't do a damn thing about it. I can only talk about it!

Can't we have some kind of Naval Exercise off the coast and have a Tomahawk loaded with pork chops, "malfunction" after this POS is built?

This was all over Fox and Friends this morning.

Between the mosque/community center and us paying for the Iman's trip....I'm surprised no one had a stroke.

Glenn Beck and Michelle Malking had, as Glenn would say, "blood spurting from their eyes".

Glenn said today's show, at 5 ET, will be all about this.

Don't know if I can watch it....might make too much mess with all the "blood spurting from my eyes"!!

Common you guys a 120 foot statue of General Sherman in down town Atlanta would be a Hoot.

We up here could use a big time American Indian site in the town of Wells where the natives burned down that and surrounding towns.


Lets all get involved in this insanity, A German History War center with a bunch of statues of Hitler and his war Buddy's across from the Holocaust Museum, in DC.

Get in the fun you guys this is so insane it has become unbelievable.

Yup! I saw F&F this mornin'. You can bet your red, republican booty that I'll be watching Beck this afternoon. May also have to DVR it. Along with being very informative, it'll be some nice political ammunition for those Jackasses (literally) I argue this subject with on other forums. Honestly, if you have thoughts, instinct, and the ability to reason rationally, that should be all the ammunition you need. Somehow, I feel the need to bring this up elsewhere though...

It now turns out that the Muslims ONLY OWN HALF THE LAND they want to build their mosque on across from Ground Zero. Their deceit continues.

[cavegal]

I have not said much on this subject... Who ever the ones who want this,, which is a few... must be Sharia followers and of course Anti Americans...anyone have the resources to follow the money?

You said it brother!!

[Daisy]

Without a doubt the mosque naming is by design; a big FU to Ground Zero, America, Jews and Christians. This mosque shall not stand!!!!!

Could you give me a source to that? I'd be quite interested in reading that.

Other half is owned by ConEd. It was on Fox the last couple of days....

[Randy]

It's nice to see NYC for the pansies and spineless appeasers we all already knew they really were.
What a bunch of chicken shit, quaking, scared old women. They're desperate to appease the big bad boogie man so he'll leave them alone.
After what we've seen lately is anyone surprised that the city isn't just going to go ahead and build this for them at Ground Zero and then hand the muzzies the keys while they kneel, grovel and crawl away?

Thanks deb. "ConEd" is all I needed to do the digging.

The developers of the controversial mosque proposed near Ground Zero own only half the site where they want to construct the $100 million building, The Post has learned.

One of the two buildings on Park Place is owned by Con Edison, even though Soho Properties told officials and the public that it owns the entire parcel. And any potential sale by Con Ed faces a review by the state Public Service Commission.

“We never heard anything about Con Ed whatsoever,” said a stunned Julie Menin, the chairwoman of Community Board 1, which passed a May resolution supporting the mosque.

Daisy Khan, one of the mosque’s organizers, told The Post last week that both buildings on Park Place are needed to house the worship and cultural center. But she claimed ignorance about the Con Ed ownership of 49-51 Park Place and referred questions to Soho Properties, which bought the building at 45-47 Park Place in 2009.

Rep. Peter King, who opposes the mosque, said the developers seemed to be “operating under false pretenses.”

I'm happy to hear this. Here's hoping that ConEd decides to say "**** you!" to Rauf, and all of his cronies. Legally, part of the building is theirs until 2071.

What a mess, is not Con Ed be a public utility? church and state???  follow the money...

I think it's a public utility. But from what I understand, ConEd did not sell their property to the group doing the mosque. They still own it, and it takes the city/county/state -whoever controls the utility companies in NY - to decide whether or not the property is sold.

GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rick Lazio yesterday called on the Public Service Commission to zap the Ground Zero mosque because of the revelation that Con Ed owns half the site.

"As governor I will appoint commissioners . . . who, like me, oppose this group's plan to build a mosque at Ground Zero -- and I encourage New Yorkers to call the Public Service commissioners and tell them the same," he said.

The disclosure in Sunday's Post about the property's ownership proves the mosque's developers "have been operating under false pretenses," he said.

May be nuttin', but the rumor is, it's owned by GE! Who just by chance, is supposed to be a big winner in ButIwantToFrigAmerica's Cap & Tax!

I'll research it and get back to ya, if, the road back to Zanzibar isn't too cloudy.
