The New York City Landmarks Commission unanimously voted Tuesday to deny landmark designation to the site of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero, paving the way for the controversial community center and worship space to rise two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The commission's chairman, Robert B. Tierney, said the building at 45-47 Park Place "does not rise to the level of an individual landmark." The 11-member panel is appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has vehemently defended the mosque as an example of religious freedom.
The proposed community center has become the center of an intense national controversy, prompting opponents to call on the commission to grant landmark status in hopes of blocking the plan.

One opponent sat quietly in the audience holding a sign that read "Don't glorify murders of 3,000 – no 9/11 victory mosque."
As the commissioners left the room, an opponent in the audience asked if any of them had lost a loved one during the terrorist attacks. The opponent urged the commissioners to look into the cameras and "apologize for this disgrace."
"I hope Mayor Bloomberg is satisfied," he said.

They should call it the Bloomberg Ground Zero Mosque and Vomitorium
If the Mayor put in the panel, they are not Democrats. He is a Republican.
Sadly you know the answer. How about a 'Fat WA" on these council pukes. No, not the Christians but the real "religion of peace" can.
It’s not a mosque. It’s a “cultural center”. Therefore if the abomination is built Christians should mob the place. A thousand of them each and every day. Preach the word of the true Lord Jesus Christ. Bless the place with Holy water. They want to reach out to other religions so let’s help them.
“Will construction workers line up to build this monstrosity?”
Yes, the union workers will.
If... change that to WHEN, New York is attached again, I will have a heavy heart for the innocent victims. but I will not have any empathy for New York... not one bit.
Lest we forget!
I hope it gets fu**ing leveled in short order. These animals need to be destroyed!
Let’s just all pretend we don’t understand what this Muslim mosque at this site means.
That remembrance of “the bitch” hits home with a thud and that damn mosque should experience a Twin Tower like collapse.
Who are they going to get to build the thing ?
Pogo and Albert had more wisdom than our entire congress.
Soo right!
