A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive.
The 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Community Board 1's financial district committee.
The $100 million project, called the Cordoba House, is proposed for the old Burlington Coat Factory building at Park Place and Broadway, just two blocks from the World Trade Center site.
"I think it will be a wonderful asset to the community," said committee Chairman Ro Sheffe.
Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims.
...Daisy Khan, executive director of the Cordoba Initiative, said donations from prestigious groups such as the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund would pay for the construction.

A proposal to build a Cathedral steps from the kaaba received the support of a Saudi downtown committee despite some Arab terrorists finding it offensive.
The 16-story Cathedral and Catholic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Saudi Mecca Community Board and its financial district committee.
The $500 million project, called the Saint Joan of Arc Cathedral, is proposed for the old Mecca Pork Sausage Factory building at the corner of Muslima Pork Place and Scantily-Clad Broads` Way, just two blocks from the famous 2,000 Deaths Stampede Bridge site.
“I think it will be a wonderful asset to the community,” said committee Chairman Abi Bin Taken Forride Hissin`
I`m Hamm Weasiel Abdull Really Dulloaf, who helped found the Saint Joan of Arc Cathedral following the Dubai vacations, said the project is intended to foster better relations between Catholics and camels, who are not muslims. They only look like muslims.
...Daisy KhanDoo, executive director of the Saint Joan of Arc Cathedral , said donations from prestigious groups such as the Saudi Oil Rig Foundation and the Hezballs Fund would also pay for the adjoining Charles Martel Chapel construction.
That's gotta be a news flash to the former Soviet Union, and their former slave states that are now free, like the Ukraine, Georgia, and several others.
The statute would offend their religion because a bare arm is showing!!!
Death to the statute!
In other words, Ground Zero near Ground Zero?
Bullcrap I want your dammed death cult ands its depraved followers wiped off the face the earth
Would not this be something like having the Japanese build a Shinto Temple on Waikaki Beach?
New York is so far up the terrorists ass that it’ll take a backhoe to dig them out. They live in fear so much so that they are surrounding themselves with Muslim centers so to say please don’t attack us, we have these safety zones that we constructed to pay homage to your cause.
Just my thought: burn it down!!!
Not yet.
Telling the Worlds Muslims that they have won and are taking over!
Good move NY
Which nations and cultures are tough enough, and when necessary, brutal enough, to survive in a very dangerous world?
Maybe the USA should just split up, so that a less corroded portion can have a chance.
I am curious to know who sold the property to the muslims? amazing how many are being built all over the USA. Over 200 in the state of California alone. Mosques in sparsely populated states such as Iowa and others. Spreading like a damn cancer. Hope they build a huge pork factory across the street from everyone of them
” ... low level stuff ...”
My goodness, I can’t imagine anyone doing anything like that ;-) Shocking. Just shocking.
After all, so many things can go awry in a big city like New York. ;-)
BIG TALKER...JUST LIKE THE MOSQUE ON 96TH STREET.....
Miss Burka of Lost Liberty.
Powered with it’s own excrement.
I’m completely out of pity for New York. I could give a rat’s behind for New York.
I would prefer death in battle but that opportunity will never come.
