fter weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York - it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.
The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.
Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.
New York Governor David Patterson said last weekend that Muslim leaders had rejected outright his proposal to swap the site in for another in Manhattan.

well Greg Gutfeld should get some credit.
Patterson did well.
There are over 100 mosques un Manhatten
Exactly. They could be positioning now to paint themselves as “victims.” The meme in the media now is how “muslim-bashing” is on the rise.
Very possibly.
FINALLY some sanity!
Just because they don’t want to rape us again, does not mean they do not leer at us with lust.
Yes, Greg Gutfeld probably flipped this around. Before him, we had Bloomberg ramming it down our throats.
Omoslem is crying in his falafel.

UPDATES SAY NO..
PR victory? LOL you have GOT to be kidding?
They LOST and there is no way to spin this in a positive way for them. OSTUPID LOST also and there is no positive way to spin that either.
The clear winners are the people of America who stood together and said NO!!
What the Muslims wanted to do along with the complicity of the president, his Party and the liberal media will NOT be soon forgotten.

1. There is no truth to the Haaretz story. It is wholly incorrect. We will be publishing a press release regarding this shortly. half a minute ago via web
IOW—toss out a “red herring”?
BS.
It doesn’t matter if it takes them 100 years. There’s going to be a mosque there, and our elites will make sure the land for it is available.
The only way to be sure it doesn’t happen is to cut off the flow of petro-money to islam.
I will not believe it until the deed is in conservative hands

BREAKING: Muslim Leaders Decide Against Ground Zero Mosque
“
Trying to cover from Obama’s verbal mis-steps of last week.
In order to minimize the damage to Barack Hussein Obama’s party in
the November elections.
I won’t be shocked if the first spade of dirt for the ObamaMosque gets
turned Nov. 3, 2010.
These cats are in a mad rush to open the center in time for the 10th annual
observance of 9-11.
So they can spit in the eyes of the infidels.
