A Mosque Near Ground Zero

Why are Muslims buying property for a mosque at a location in NYC which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Ground Zero? NYC is a huge place. I find it a little odd that this particular site was their choice for worshipping their false god, allah.

Now, I know that there are plenty of peaceful Muslims who do not support jihad. Nevertheless, can't they show a LITTLE respect for the 9/11 families by keeping a mosque away from Ground Zero. Nothing like a little reminder of the faith that led the 9/11 savages to carry out their horrific acts. The Muslims are doing nothing less than rubbing salt onto America's wounds.

Mysterious Group Buys Building Next to Ground Zero For Mosque

"A mysterous Muslim group with unknown sponsors has purchased a building steps away from Ground Zero.
Hudson New York reported:


'An identified group with unknown sponsors has purchased building steps away from where the WorldTrade Center once stood — to turn it into potentially one of the largest New York City mosques.

At the moment the building, the old Burlington Coat Factory, already serves as a mini-mosque: an iron grill lifts every Friday afternoon for a little known Imam leading prayers a few yards away from where Osama Bin Laden’s airborne Islamist bombers killed nearly 3000 people back in 2001.

The Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, told the New York Times — which put the story on its front page Wednesday — that he has assembled several million dollars to turn it into ‘’an Islamic center near the city’s most hallowed piece of land that would stand as one of ground zero’s more unexpected and striking neighbors.’’

The 61-year-old Imam said he paid $4.85 million for it — in cash, records show. With 50,000 square feet of air rights and enough financing, he plans an ambitious project of $150 million, he said, akin to the Chautauqua Institution, the 92 Street Y or the Jewish Community Center.

The origins of such monies are unexplained; neither are the countries or entity advancing such huge donations. Most US mosques, including many in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx are funded directly or indirectly by Saudi Arabia the country to which 15 of the 19 hijackers who bombed the World TradeCenter belonged. The UAE, Qatar and Iran are other major sponsors across the USA.'"
