SoHo Properties, Developer of Park51 Mosque Near Ground Zero, Willing to Talk About Moving
The New York Daily News ^ | Friday, August 13, 2010 | Glenn Blain

Posted on 08/15/2010 10:55:52 AM PDT by kristinn

Sponsors of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero are not slamming the door on Gov. Paterson's idea to build the center someplace else.

"We are open to a conversation to find out more on what the governor has in mind," the center, Park51, said in a Twitter post yesterday.

Mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal has said the group is interested in hearing from Paterson but added that "this has always been about serving lower Manhattan."

He did not return calls and emails yesterday.

I’m sorry, but isn’t this all irrelevant if the city doesn’t sell the property next door, owned by Con Ed to the developer?

They're saying this now because a) they know the American people are riled even if the MSM says nothing about this, and b) they know that mosque will NEVER be built on that site, because freedom-loving Americans will physically interdict the construction.

Can you imagine how difficult it is to build one building when MILLIONS of people don't want it? Just ONE successful act of sabotage out of THOUSANDS, and they have to start all over. And it repeats.

No, the Victory Dance Mosque and Sedition Hall will never get built at Ground Zero.

It is my understanding that ConEd has sold/leased the rights to the developer.

I think one of the things that bothers me the most is the design of this proposed building.

You have the Dome of the Crock

The Kaaba

The Five Pillars of Islam

AND NOW THIS!

If you've ever been over to the sandbox, you can understand why this object is so VENERATED. Maybe the fact we have indoor plumbing is what angriates them the most.

What does he mean by “serving lower Manhattan”? There’s NOTHING THERE. There’s no “community” in lower Manhattan to have a “community center.”

The whole thing is clearly a political maneuver, to be taken as a political symbol by Muslims.

“Obama: We Need Courage”
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/03/15/4433362-obama-we-need-courage

“Obama Saves Courage (Thanksgiving Turkey’s name)”
http://www.blogrunner.com/snapshot/D/6/0/obama_saves_courage/

But, folks, I remind you..........
“Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) is the acronym for the Arabic ‘Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamia,’ a ‘word meaning courage and bravery.’”

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=HAMAS

Hamas MEANS courage.

Once 0bama said, “Courage,” we saw HAMAS & the PA situation fire up earlier.....

“I will stand with the Muslims if things turn in an ugly direction.” (paraphrase) Barack Hussein Obama, 2008.

Joe Biden is tight with Hezbollah.

Hillary Clinton had/has a ‘close’ Saudi female aide-de-camp and close Saudi connections.

Instead of Park 51, maybe they should call it Area 51.

It would be appropriate, because these muzzies are totally alien to America.

I predicted there would be an offer to ‘trade down’ once it
became clear to them it would be a LOSING BATTLE to try to
build at 51 Park; I said over a month ago that Cordoba House would NEVER
be built at 51 Park. NOW, going forward , the next new and just as important battle is to demand that it not be built anywhere in New York. I don’t believe they’re willing to forsake the ‘symbolism’ and all that it means to them to go
ahead as planned, but if they are willing, a new “Learning Center” will stand as the same kind of Conquest Symbol, and they’ll still gloat and make their point. This is like a lawyer asking for ten million in damages and settling for one million.
