Oh nice, coming soon-a Muzzie hospital that doesn't have bacon on the breakfast tray. And doesn't treat Jews (except with contempt and hate.)
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Mike defends city's mosque help By SALLY GOLDENBERG and BRUCE GOLDING Last Updated: 3:24 AM, December 25, 2010 Posted: 12:26 AM, December 25, 2010
Mayor Bloomberg yesterday defended his administration's efforts to solicit support for the proposed mosque near Ground Zero, saying the city doesn't discriminate on the basis of religion.
"If you want to start a religious place of worship, if you want to start a nonprofit . . . our job is to help you, and we will do what we can," Bloomberg said during his weekly radio show.
"When we say we don't get involved -- we don't get involved in picking one [side] versus another, but our responsibility is: Anybody that walks in the door that needs help, our job is to help them."
E-mails released by City Hall on Thursday revealed that city Community Affairs Commissioner Nazli Parvizi had drafted a letter for Daisy Khan, wife of the proposed mosque's imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, to send to the head of the local community board ahead of its vote on the project.
In one e-mail, Parvizi wrote that she hoped that the letter -- which Community Board 1 Chairwoman Julie Menin said she never got -- would "get the media attention off of everyone's backs."
On the radio yesterday, Bloomberg rejected suggestions that the city's stance on the controversial project -- known as both Cordoba House and Park51 -- had been "rigged from the start."..................>>>>......................>>>>..................................http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/it_in_good_faith_X1pKuOXHmSeOApisfWHxrL
Imam to tour nation promoting NYC Islamic center Says he wants to 'inspire interfaith understanding' of controversial project By VERENA DOBNIK updated 12/24/2010 7:02:25 PM ET
NEW YORK — The Muslim cleric who hopes to build an Islamic center near the World Trade Center site said Friday that he'll tour the country in an effort "to inspire interfaith understanding" for a project that has ignited explosive face-offs between supporters and opponents. "The major purpose is to make people aware of what America means as a country that protects the right to freedom of religion," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told The Associated Press. American Muslims like himself, he said, "can play an important role as interlocutors between the United States and the Muslim world." Rauf's first appearance is scheduled for Detroit on Jan. 15. The city has North America's largest Muslim population. The imam said he'll continue on to Chicago, Washington, San Antonio and college campuses including Harvard, Georgetown, Yale and the University of North Carolina. He did not release specific dates for his speeches.
Rauf said he expects the tour will end sometime in April; he's still receiving and considering invitations. In a telephone interview — "on a cell phone while shopping," he said — he told the AP that he wants to make clear both to New Yorkers and people across the country the purpose of a project "about which I've been dreaming for 20 years.".....................>>>>................>>>>............http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40805868/ns/us_news-life/
Con Ed says it will evict Ground Zero mosque unless developer pays $1.7 million in back rent By ISABEL VINCENT and MELISSA KLEIN Last Updated: 12:24 PM, October 16, 2011 Posted: 12:18 AM, October 16, 2011
Con Ed has given the Ground Zero mosque an ultimatum: Pay the $1.7 million you owe in back rent, or we’ll terminate your lease and take back our property. Con Ed and mosque developer Park51 have an unusual, uneasy alliance, sharing ownership of a site slated to be one of the most controversial projects in city history. The utility owns a former substation on the western half of the property, at 51 Park Place, and the mosque developers own a five-story building on the eastern half. The buildings were connected years ago and used to house a Burlington Coat Factory store.
AP SPLIT: Developer Sharif El-Gamal (inset) owns the right half of this complex, all of which he plans to raze for a mosque and community center, but leases the left from Con Ed, which hiked the rent.
Park51, which leases the substation from Con Ed, wants the two buildings so it can knock both down and build a $100 million, 15-story community center. But the plan hit a major obstacle in August when Con Ed raised the rent from $2,750 a month, a rate set in 1972, to $47,437 a month, retroactive to July 31, 2008, The Post has learned...................>>>>................>>>>..........Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/l.....EyuLmN#ixzz1b2DMQIiQ

No community programs at 'Ground Zero' mosque a year after the controversy By ISABEL VINCENT and MELISSA KLEIN Last Updated: 11:57 AM, December 9, 2012 Posted: 4:07 AM, December 9, 2012
It’s all pray and no play.
The Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero that opened with great fanfare a year ago is now an empty space with no community programs.
And while the developers behind Park51 insisted for two years that the project was more than a mosque, it now appears to be just that. Dozens of worshipers gather at the site on Park Place Friday for prayer services — but that’s the only activity in the building.
Gone are the Arabic classes, workshops in calligraphy, talks on the genealogy of Muslims in America, film screenings and art exhibits. The sole community event is a class in capoeira — an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines dance and music. The teacher of the twice-weekly class said she has five students.............................>>>>.........................>>>>..........................http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/it_mosque_rade_E4bLtxvo3yIwrCnYm1fRLP
