Behind the mosque at Ground Zero
Powerline Blog ^ | July 17, 2010 | Scott

Posted on 07/17/2010 11:14:16 AM PDT by La Enchiladita

Stephen Schwartz scrupulously reviews the available evidence regarding the ladies and gentleman behind the planned $100 million mega-mosque at Ground Zero. They are fronted by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, a Kuwait-born cleric of Egyptian background. What does Schwartz turn up?

Let's see. Here we have a support network linked to the Malaysian Jew hater Mahathir bin Mohamad. Here we have the Perdana-supported Gaza raiders. Here we have some notable servants of the Iranian clerical dictatorship, and an Egyptian property developer associated with the pro-Hamas chief of the Arab League.

And here we have Feisal Abdul Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, one of the most assiduous promoters of the mega-mosque. She is the niece of Dr. Farooq Khan, formerly a leader of the Westbury Mosque on Long Island, which is a center for Islamic radicals and links on its website to the paramilitary Islamic Circle of North America, the front on American soil for the Pakistani jihadist Jamaat e-Islami.

Schwartz concludes with a simple proposition. If Rauf's planned mega-mosque is entirely above board, he should fully disclose its backing and finances. Until Rauf shows his cards, I think it's fair to infer that the mega-mosque is intended to add insufferable insult to grievous injury.

The source article by Stephen Schwartz: A Mosque Grows Near Brooklyn

Non-Muslim defenders of Rauf—including Cuomo and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg—have rejected demands for investigation of the ideological and financial underpinnings of the Ground Zero mosque. They have argued that such an inquiry would violate the First Amendment guarantee of free exercise of religion.

Are they just idiots or whores or.....???

So if they start to build it, burn it down…burn it down as many times as it takes.

If not, quit whining.

This information needs to go to rjchq.org, Drudge, and anyone else willing to expose this outrageous disgrace including outing Bloomberg and his motives.

I’m going back to NY, where I grew up and lived most of my life, in August and I’m afraid to go down to the WTC site. I moved away one year before 9/11, I watched it (weeping) on TV, but I have been back many times and I always go to the site.

It’s still hard for me to believe that the City of New York is going to let this happen.

Whores! It’s about the money - If you don’t really believe in anything it’s always about the money!

I didn’t know a “city” could let it happen. It is the people of NY that are letting it happen for not getting off their butts.

Ditto-that's one reason the twins went bye-bye in the first place, occupancy declining, cost of de-asbestosizing v, insurance + plus convenient false flagging ties to giant military exercise.

Is what it is, was what it was, can't do much about Sneakynam Inc.,can we?

Would be nice to build'um back exactly the way they were.

Isn't that the reason for insuring?

Or is the reason you insure something is to make a big profit?

I don't know, that's not how I was raised.

Truth?

"Yeah, like I dig truth!"

Looking at this morally, ethically, spiritually and emotionally no way in hell this mosque should rise. Not at this site. The mooslim fanatics who tore down the WTC were praising allah to their deaths. Definitely must not happen. If new york were still controlled by the irish catholics not a chance this would happen. But today, especially in america money talks and trumps all the reasons why I said it should not rise. Unfortunately, America is becoming so financially bankrupt that money can be the deciding factor for all the wrong reasons. I am irish catholic but canadian. I hope new yorkers show some backbone and prevent this from happening regardless of the money aspect. Suck it up and do the right thing and remember all the irish catholics who died in squalor a hundred years ago and more praying to god on their deathbed and remember this..not ONE of them brought dishonour to new york and attacked the heart of the city like the mooslim fanatics, purposely killing innocents. The Irish fought amongst themselves and did not kill innocents over religion. They killed cause it was kill or be killed in many cases.

And one huge very big difference.
Irish Catholics BUILT new york into what it is today.
The mooslim flyboys wanted just to destroy it.
That pretty well sums it up.
Keep that in mind when you consider the mosque rising.

Oh my. Let me see, in America a group of Christian students are not allowed to pray simply because they are gathered in a public place, but it is somehow against the freedom of religion to check and make sure that there are no direct ties to terrorists before the muslims erect a very large building.

WHAT IN ALL THAT’S HOLY IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

It’s not a mosque, it’s a beachhead after their successful attacks on the country. It would be a major victory.

Rick Lazio should make this a big issue in his campaign for New York governor vs. Cuomo! But I wouldn't know how much influence a governor can have over whether or not the mosque is built.

Supporters of the project are obviously playing a word game by referring to it as a "community center" rather than a "mosque." Sounds a lot more benign to the average non-Muslim's ear.

Here's a suggestion - There should not be a single new mosque built, anywhere in the US, until we get a cathedral in Mecca!
