A Manhattan lawyer with ties to the Saudi royal family is sounding out officials and community leaders about a plan to move the controversial Ground Zero mosque to the West Village.

Attorney Dudley Gaffin is claiming King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia might want to buy shuttered St. Vincent's Medical Center and transfer the mosque to a new Islamic cultural center he would build on a plot at the site, say sources who have heard Gaffin's pitch.

The king, worth more than $20 billion, would also save the hospital, reopening most of the units that closed when St. Vincent's filed for bankruptcy on April 14, the sources said.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia would be even better. That way they all could have a place to go to celebrate their 9-11 Victory over the “Great Satan” and admire their Victory Trophy “Mosque”.

Where’s Guiliani’s “you can keep your check” with these Saudis? America has been sold off like women slaves to Saudi Arabia because of the environmentalists who hold some enormous power over our leaders. I say DRILL, BABY, DRILL and put our dependence on EVERY FOREIGN GOV’T out of business!

Why do they feel the need to build anything here?

I think there’s much more opposition to their god forsaken mosque than the LSM is reporting. This hospital reopening ploy speaks to that and is a huge bone throw. Whether it gets the construction unions to cooperate is anyone’s guess.

They should move the GZ mosque to Omoslem’s house in Chicago. It’s already an active mosque — they just need to put a sign out front.

Never mind the mosque. Move ground zero to Mecca.

I think they should put it in West Hollywood and sponsor a float in the Gay Pride Parade every year.

I would suggest they build it on a garbage barge, tow it out into the Atlantic, and see if it floats.

“Works for me. “

Anything to avoid an Islamic victory mosque on the World Trade attack site.

That is unthinkable.

Seems the king paying for a new location is a great solution. Go for it dude.

What this is going to do is make them hated even more.

A tumor has to grow, or it's just a lump.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
