Supporters of Ground Zero Mosque Reject Gov. Paterson’s Offer to Help Move Site Away From Gay Bar

By Doug Powers  •  August 11, 2010 04:23 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

New York Governor David Paterson offered to help find another site for the mosque/cultural center planned near Ground Zero, but it sounds like some of the project’s supporters first want to see what kind of place Greg Gutfeld opens up next door before making a final decision:

“While we have a tremendous amount of respect for our governor, and we are always interested in hearing what our leaders have to say, and what their ideas and proposals are. But this has always been about serving Lower Manhattan,” said proposed mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal.

One prominent mosque supporter also rejected the governor’s proposal.

He says Paterson’s remarks validate the idea that all Muslims are responsible for what terrorists did on September 11, 2001.

    No, not ALL muslims are implicit in 9/11.

    All muslims who will not unequivocally denounce terrorism, the 9/11 attacks, Osama Bin Laden, Hamas, Hizbolla, forced sharia law, etc ARE however.

    Which from my observation is very nearly all of them…

    I have been thinking all this time (since 9/11) that Lutherans were responsible.

    Hell, yes, Islam was responsible!

    I hope pork is he only food on the menu at the gay bar, and dogs are allowed in the infidel zone.

    1) That claim by the “Cordoba Initiative” is bogus. If their victory mosque isn’t close enough for them to look down into the pit and praise Allah for it, then their objective is lost.

    2) “Serving Lower Manhattan” is another possible name for Greg Gutfeld’s bar.

    Many so-called religious conflicts instead result from wealth inequality…

    Yup… that’s the people behind the Ground Zero mosque blaming the 9/11 attacks not on Jihad, but on Capitalism. According to them, it’s our fault they attacked us!

    If we just “spread the wealth around”, say, to build mosques around the world, then they won’t attack us.

    The “Cordoba Initiative” is all about them still being mad about losing Cordoba and all of Al-Andulus to Ferdinand and Isabella during the Reconquista, and their intent to bring all of Europe and the Americas under Muslim control.

    They are still mad that Ferdinand and Isabella took the Alhambra, and from there sponsored Christopher Columbus’s journey, which began the spread of Christianity to the Americas.

    Barack and Michelle are now leading a new Muslim “Reconquista”, to reconquer all of Europe and the Americas.
