Saudi king may move ground zero mosque

SaudiKing Abdullah, in an effort to quiet Muslim criticism in the United States, is quietly looking into moving the ground zero mosque to a less controversial Manhattan location, according to news reports surfacing Sunday. New York lawyer Dudley Gaffin has contacted officials about the Saudi royal family's interest in moving the ground zero mosque to the shuttered St. Vincent’s Hospital site in the West Village, the New York Post and other news organizations reported Sunday.

According to Mr. Gaffin, the king wants to save the hospital, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, and provide an alternative location for the mosque, which has been the subject of protests for months.

Wait a minute. Haven’t the mosque-defending leftists been telling us that the Saudis aren’t in any way connected to this “community center”?

Not for nothing but I don’t want that mosque built anywhere in the United States.All they are is future terrorist indoctrination centers anyway.

They can move the mosque to Indonesia and force Obama to move there as well.

It was my understanding the Saudis had nothing to do with it, so I can’t see how it’s within their power to move the Victory Mosque anywhere.

Yeah i guess the same way they are not connected in bringing down the World trade center.
About 95% (including Bin Laden) of the terrorist responsible for 9/11 did come from saudi Arabia.
Isn´t it nice to have such allies?

“”I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave.”
King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

Looks like not much has changed since then.

Maybe put it on St. Pierre or Miquelon—they are in North America so conveniently located to would-be visitors from the US or Canada (so they would get 2 for the price of 1) plus they are under French sovereignty and the French get along well with the Muslims. Plus it would be a boon for the Newfoundland tourist industry.

We don’t need any more of these training centers for terrorism in this country anywhere, thank you.

The SAUDI KING may move the mosque? Why yes, certainly—just as soon as the United States builds a super-mega-church and a super-mega-synagogue in Riyadh, at sites chosen by Christian and Jewish leaders in the U.S. And any damage done to those buildings would, regretfully, be duplicated at the mosque.

10 replies and I am the only one to cite a Saudi king for his understanding for sending 19 (17 ?) Saudi's to murder Americans and change the face of the political/socio earth back in 2001?

Put the damnable thing in Mecca. That’s where it belongs...along with the muzzies and their insufferable PC sympathizers.

According to Mr. Gaffin, the king wants to save the hospital (St. Vincent’s Hospital site in the West Village)

I would imagine that the Saudi King will convert this Catholic hospital in to a Muslim hospital in the process.

Another symbol of Islam’s victory over infidels is to convert Cathedrals in to Mosque.

This would be a variation on the theme.

No matter where it’s built, it will be the Ground Zero Mosque forever.

The Muslims have a history. Whenever they conquer an area, they tear down the religious structures of others and replace them with mosques. It sends a signal. Plus, they figure that in one or two generations no one will remember what was there.

So, now they want to build a mosque at the location of a historic Catholic NYC hospital that now is in bankruptcy. No thank you Saudis. You can take your mosque and build it where the sun don’t shine.
