Ground Zero-moskéen - ett värdigt minnesmärke ? Över vad ?

Vi har tidigare kommenterat det van-

vettiga projektet att bygga en stor-

moské 200 meter från platsen för

Ground Zero där 3.500 människor

dödades i World Trade Center

11 september 2001.

Tyvärr tycks kommunen fullständigt

ointresserade av att stoppa bygget.

Bygglovet är beviljat. Finansieringen

ordnad och presidentens välvilja strålar

över projektet.

Den islamistiska moskéen är det största

hånet mot WTC-offren och deras

anhöriga som någon sjuk hjärna

kunde tänka ut....

Arutz Sheva ger en lägesrapport:

A “last-chance” public hearing to block the proposed

13-story $100 million mosque planned near Ground

Zero, the site of the 9/11 attack on New York Tuesday

puts Mayor Bloomberg on the defense. He has rejected

opponents’ demands that the backers of the plan be

investigated for possible links with terrorists or terrorist

groups.

**
New York City officials already have approved

the project, and the only hope by opponents to

block its construction is to convince the Landmark

Preservation Commission to prevent the demolition

of the 152-year-old Cordova House warehouse in

order to make way for a mammoth Muslim

community center and house of worship.

**
Opposition groups from a wide spectrum of the

population—ranging from Jews to Sikhs—staged

a large demonstration in early June against

the planned mosque.
The Park Place site is 600 feet from the area

where Muslim suicide terrorists hijacked two

planes and aimed them at the two towering

Twin Towers in the early morning, when the

planes’ fuel tanks were full.

**
The resulting explosion and intense fire

melted the metal structures, toppling the

towers and killing nearly 3,500 people,

including police officers and firefighters

who arrived to control the blaze and

cordon off the area. One of the engines

of the hijacked planes crashed into the

Cordova House roof, causing severe

damage.

**
Mayor Bloomberg has taken heat for not

conducting a probe into the backers of

the mosque project, while Republican

gubernatorial hopeful Rick Lazio last

week called on Attorney General Andrew

Cuomo, his Democratic opponent, to

conduct a probe. Lazio questioned the

sympathies of the center’s backers, and

said that “the people have a right to know

if this ‘charity’ is using its resources in a

legitimate, legal, and charitable way.”

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch,

has charged that “the imam behind [the]

proposed mosque near Ground Zero is a

prominent member of a group that helped

sponsor the pro-Palestinian activists who

clashed violently with Israeli commandos

at sea.
"Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a key figure in

Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace

Organization, according to its website.

Perdana is the single biggest donor ($366,000)

so far to the Free Gaza Movement, a key

organizer of the six-ship flotilla that tried to

break Israel's blockade of Hamas-run Gaza"

May 31.

“It’s just two blocks away. They will pass it on

the way to the memorial,”

Roman Gertsberg, a Queens resident who

lost his only daughter Marina in the terrorist

attack told am/NY.

**
Building a mosque just several blocks away

from Ground Zero is an insult and an affront

to every single person that was killed on

9/11, to their families, to the first responders

and every concerned American who cherishes

liberty, democracy and freedom,”

Pamela Geller, executive director of 'Stop the

Islamization of America',” said at last month’s

protest.

**
Tuesday’s hearings, which are expected to be

hotly contested, are expected to last for two

hours, but a decision will not be announced

until later this summer.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
