NYC Community Board Recommends No Landmark Status For Ground Zero Mosque Building…
CAIR already claiming victory over “Islamophobia”…
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel ZippersNEW YORK (CBS) ― A community board is recommending no landmark designation for a building that would be used for a mosque near the former World Trade Center site.
Community Board 1 voted 24-11 Tuesday to recommend that the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission deny historic designation to the building. The designation would complicate the mosque’s construction.
Opponents of the mosque favored the designation.The mosque is a project of the nonprofit Cordoba Initiative, which says it promotes cross-cultural understanding between Islam and the West. Cordoba purchased the property for $4 million. It plans to build a $100 million Islamic center.
The board voted overwhelmingly last spring to back the project even as it drew emotional opposition from some local residents and relatives of 9/11 victims.
Emotions ran high earlier this month at a meeting of the Landmarks Commission. The vote, however, won’t be held until later this summer.
“It’s called Islama-phobia pure and simple and do not allow … Now, you see, if this is the voice, if this is the voice of reason then we’ve got a lot to contend with,” said Zead Ramadan of the Council on Islamic-American Relations New York.
I agree it’s not a event very important in the US and Nobody really cares it’s truly a waste of time KOF,KOFFF…Sorry.
They can build all the Mosk They want…Even on the Top of the WH if they want,i dont bother…..islam is the best.
I will tell you one thing my Friends ! And listened well ! The only way they can BUILD A FUCKING MOSK AT GROUND ZERO,IT’S OVER MY DEAD BODY,UNDERSTOOD !
I have a son-in-law that manages a 4000 head hog farm….
sorry CAIR, Islamophobia is a myth. Give it up.
I used to live in Manhattan, NYC. Worked there, too. For 35 years. And I loved it. Loved the people there -even though 2/3rds of of ‘em are liberal leaning Big Blue State types.
But I was there on 9/11 and for 4 years thereafter and I cannot for the life of me fathom why residents of NYC are letting this Mosque be built with barely a squeak, much less a full throated “FUCK NO, YOU’RE NOT BUILDING THAT MOSQUE HERE, ON HALLOWED GROUND.”
Jen06,
I say we open a rib joint right next door to the mosque.
Porky The Crusader.. don’t do a St. Pancake.
The best thing is for a lot of tax paying ‘islamophobes’ to send letter to the NYC tax board telling them they will leave the city if the mosque is built.
S Wolf,
I think thats what the problem is those who lived in New York during the 9/11 Murders .. moved out and left the stupid leftist pigs who care nothing for America or Americans…
Abhorring islam is normal.
Worshipping a violent pedophile is abnormal.
