“New York is the Capital of the world & this location close to 9/11 is iconic,” Imam Feisal

“New York is the capital of the world, and this location close to 9/11 is iconic.” Imam Feisal

He insists, however, that he is not open to moving the center.

Indeed. The above is a quote from Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal:

New York is the capital of the world…..This location close to 9/11 is iconic.

Ground zero

“The story is repeated around the globe, the story of Muslim denial, self-pity, and demands for extraordinary sensitivity from others even whilst trampling on every sensitivity of absolutely everyone else.” Douglas Murray

That building isn’t near Ground Zero. It is Ground Zero.http://nomosquesatgroundzero.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/landinggearburlingtoncoatfactory.jpg?w=300&resize=487%2C327

The factory was hit and partially destroyed  in the 9-11 attacks that destroyed the WTC and murdered almost 3,000 infidels (in the name of Allah)

Where once stood the WTC,  ” the stairs to no where”

NY1 Reporting:

With a debate raging from coast to coast over whether an Islamic community center and mosque should be built near the World Trade Center site, NY1’s Political reporter Grace Rauh sat down for an exclusive interview with the developer to talk about the future of the project.Sharif El-Gamal is the developer behind the plan to erect an Islamic community center and mosque two blocks from the World Trade Center site.

Calls are mounting for him and the other backers to find a new home for their center, further away from the site of the September 11th terrorist attacks, but El-Gamal isn’t budging.

He is sticking with his plans to erect a 13-story center and prayer space in Lower Manhattan. He likens the project to a YMCA or Jewish Community Center, with programs open to all residents of all faiths.

“A landmark, an iconic building that will have people come and visit it from around the world,” said El-Gamal as to what he imagines. “This looks like it is going to be the most famous community center in the world.”

This is deliberately provocative. Mecca on the Hudson.

“Park51” aka Cordoba House will replace the factory (15 stories with a mosque/prayer room on the top floor)

And remember, parts from one of the planes fell through the roof and are still in the factory (NY Times reported this originally)

However, with no sensitivity towards the pain and grief that continues today in the 9-11 families….Sharif el-Gamal, Imam Rauf’s associate,  insists  that he is not open to moving the center.

This is the view today (1 short block from the factory)
