New York politicians are bending over backwards and violating protocol to build a mega mosque at Ground Zero. In warped speed they are ramming it through, removing every obstacle to expedite the process and erect a triumphal mosque at Ground Zero in time for it to meet its stated opening date, the tenth anniversary of September 11. Why? Would they do this for a church? A synagogue? This is an outrage.
Wednesday night, on less than a week and a halfs notice (at a time when most people who care are not even around), the Lower Manhattan Community Board 1 (LMCB) Landmark Commission (LMCBLC) held a meeting to consider the landmark status of 45-47 Park Place (the site of the proposed 911 mega-mosque). Refusing to wait until the entire board could meet, seven board members voted to deny landmark status to the Burlington Coat Factory building, removing another obstacle to Imam Feisal Abdul Raufs supremacist, triumphal mosque.
Yet the historical significance of the property is clear: the famous architect Daniel D. Badger designed the building. A number of his buildings have already been given landmark status. The New York Times obituary (in the November 19, 1884 issue, p. 2) for Badger (1806-1884) called him the pioneer of this country in the use of iron for building purposes.
More importantly, his building has special historical significance because of 911. It was part of the attack. The landing gear of one the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center towers flew out to the Burlington Coat Factory building, and fell through the roof to the basement. The fact that the committee ignores that fact is outrageous, and disrespects the victims of 911.
The LMCBLC unanimously (with one recusal) voted Wednesday to recommend to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) that landmark status be denied. Yes, this ugly decision was unanimous. The one recusal came from a board member who admitted to being in bed with the owner (future financial gains implied). This was the same tool who during last months community board meeting was shilling for the mosque. Apparently, one of the owners of the property approached him and subsequently corresponded with him. He said he was recusing himself because although there was no immediate financial benefit to him, he thought it appropriate given potential conflicts of interest. The same member of the LMCBLC made reference to Kristallnacht, implying that opponents of the mosque are Nazis. Outrageous, I tell you.
Dhimmitude is the new cool.
Muslims believe in their religion. Christians don’t.
On what course was the AF1 when it overflew Manhattan? Bee line to Mecca, in reverse? Taking a bead on mosque location plans? Anybody know?
It’s my understanding this is how Islam swings.
You defeat an adversary, and then you build a mosque on the ruins, thus declaring it defeated. The mosque remains, while history moves around. Voila! Muslim forever triumphant. This is what we declare if we allow a mosque to be built at Ground Zero. I don’t know how it can be stopped. It is beyond me.
Has anyone been fasting and praying about this? If you want good to triumph over evil in this instance, I think some serious prayer warriors are called for. Look how many abortion centers have closed over the years due to consistent prayer and a continuous peaceful witness against evil. I think at a very minimum, saying a prayer for God’s will to be done every time we pass a mosque, should be standard operating procedure.

Nice safe place to construct a Nuke to finish off NYC.
And don’t expect ANYONE in the current admin to stop them.
I dread the day the Amish hijack a plane and fly it into this mosque. Hopefully loaded totally full of pigs.
What the hell is wrong with NYC politicians?

Islam is not compatible with our values; it is like a cancerous tumor.
Whatever it takes, we have got to purge Islam from this country, or we will be conquered by it.
They are bowing down on the altar of Tolerance.....so anxious to appear “Good” and “Caring”....so sick.
I hope you are right.
be a darn shame if something happened to that...a-hole-y place
Humiliating or not, if they get the go ahead, I think that will be a given.
“NYC is the absolute gold-standard in overreaching, incompetent and useless bureaucracies.”
While I don't disagree, there really shouldn't be a “gold standard” for that. “The asbestos standard” maybe? Don't get me wrong, it's a neat element, but it has become the poster child for expensive fiascoes.
One word...BRIBERY.
Don’t forget Dome of the Rock on Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Curious. Is the owner of the building a Moozie? Are the Council members also members of Islam?
If not, then better check some bank accounts.
“Its my understanding this is how Islam swings.

If I recall from my light reading about Islam, once a place is declared Muslim held, it is forever considered part of the Islamic Empire and Islamists are justified in doing anything to retain or regain control of that part of the empire, and subjecting the people to dhimmitude. Don’t know if building a mosque is enough, but who is to say? There aren’t any single authorities on Islam to say yay or nay. (Of course, Obama has already declared the United States is one of the largest Muslim countries.)
If America allows them to build the ‘Mosque de Triumph’ then our surrender is complete. There will be little hope of anything but civil war as the remaining Chrisitans fight against forced conversion.
