On Friday night, Park51 launched a fundraiser aimed at raising $7 million over the next month and a half, according to WNYC. The deadline for the funds is Sept. 10, which Mr. El-Gamal called “a motivational deadline,” its proximity to the 10th anniversary merely a coincidence.

Last November, when the project sought $5 million in 9/11 grants, it caused quite a stir, so any fundraising attempts could prove fraught. The geometric project is expected to cost $100 million.

Grants from who? The victims families?

WNYC also reports that the project’s name has been changed to PrayerSpace, but that appears to simply be the name of the 2,000-seat chapel planned for the 15-story community center, first known as Cordoba House and more widely called the “ground zero mosque,” while the overall project is still Park51.

Watch this supremaicist grifter, Ganal twists, "this project is going to show the world who we are" (and what they are.) and the blares out, "is failure an option!" the sparse crowd says no. Gamal yells, "Is failure an option?!? " and answers"No! Takbir!" "Takbir!" (expansionism) He speaks of lectures from Islamic scholars like who? Sheik Qaradawi, we know Imam Feisal Rauf is a huge fan of that genocidal imam.

911rallyfinal The morphing mosque narrative morphs yet again.

AFDI and its Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) program are encouraging all Americans to stand against the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero and the anti-Semitic Durban III conference that will be held in New York City at the same time, and for American values on the tenth anniversary of the worst attack ever on American soil.

Building the Ground Zero mosque is not an issue of religious freedom, but of resisting an effort to insult the victims of 9/11 and to establish a beachhead for political Islam and Islamic supremacism in New York. Cordoba Initiative board member imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is an open proponent of Sharia, Islamic law, a system that denies the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law. Given the thousands of triumphal mosques that have been built on the cherished sites of conquered peoples throughout Islamic history, the mosque leaders’ claim that this mosque would be understood differently by Muslims worldwide lack foundation.

The Durban III conference follows upon two previous conferences that scapegoated and demonized the state of Israel in service of Islamic jihad and Islamic supremacist interests. The rally will defend Israel against the defamation to which it will be subjected at this conference. It will also call upon the city to remove roadblocks to the reconstruction of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was destroyed on 9/11 and since then mired in bureaucratic red tape that has prevented its rebuilding – in stark contrast to the help Mayor Bloomberg and other city officials have given to the Ground Zero Mosque project.

AFDI/SIOA is one of America’s foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty, and the freedom of speech against Islamic supremacist intimidation and attempts to bring elements of Sharia to the United States.

Septmeber 11th at 911 Freedom Rally at 2pm at Broadway and Park Place to oppose this 15 story middlefinger to America.

Free Burka's for Everyone... Don't be found DEAD without it.

Here is my answer to that middle finger to us, violate the construction site, attack anyone daring to work on building it, and destroy the equipment on that site. Also the construction office should also be raided and if possible burned predisposing that no human lives are lost in the attack! And for the contractors daring enough to take this job on, I hope they get beaten and robbed DAILY! This is one time I am advocating a violent action against this atrocity! Time for the local construction unions to prove what color their blood is. Is it American Red or sell out PISS YELLOW? It is time Americans shown out "Leaders" it is time to stop selling us out to Islam and the New World Order! This would be a great way to do it.

This is BULLSHITTE! New York, what the FUQUE is wrong with your civil leaders?

My money is the Unions there will sell out! Supposedly NOTHING gets done construction wise without the Unions blessing. Lets see if that really is true!

they will probably bring in a foreign company to build it, since obama loves to do that so much...

If they do it lets see if the local unions got the teeth to screw them for doing that!

Unfortunately I see them being like this about it...

"And there's been a split between the owner of the building and the original imam who was involved.

But the owner — real estate developer Sharif El-Gamal — is moving forward with his plans for a mosque."

Here's the NPR story about how they are pushing ahead with the
Ground Zero Mosque Project

http://www.npr.org/2011/05/05/135951856/developer-plans-for-n-y-mosque-moving-forward

boy, they make it sound all nice and cozy...

I know , whats up with not painting all those muslims and imams as extremist terrorists who caused/supported the deaths on 9/11?

we cant uphold our constitutional and legal precedents for these people,, what is wrong with us,,,,,lol

what makes you think they do care? they have a history of when they destroy a fort, chapel, any building they raze they put mosques in it's place, as a sign of their superiority over their conquests. new york city is a big city, their are thousands of other places to put their mosque.

ok, explain how many 'conquests' they have had in the US , and how many of those resorted in asserting 'superiority' by building a mosque?

9-11???? does that mean anything to you? and what are they trying to do? why do you think that muslims and Israel have such problems? when Israel was overran by muslims, they tore down the Israeli mosque and built theirs on top of where it stood....

uhuh, and in the 18 and 1900's Africans and caucasions were causing havoc on each other in AFRICA

but my question was about here in AMERICA, today,,,,,

so far they are batting 1000... 1 for 1, seems like good odds to me...

They are building the Mega-Mosque in memory of their fallen (9-11)comrades and to the impending Muslim conquest of western life and culture.

Even now, all the protesters that show up en contra are on their list. As well as those who oppose via internet. They will deal with all of us to show how mighty their Allah and Mohammed are.

WRONG! BLACKS SOLD BLACKS INTO SLAVERY! Get your historical facts straight!

Also Islam is NOT a religion of Tolerance! Tolerance is given where it is shown!

If I lived in New York I would be vandalizing the site of that proposed mosque. I also would be out to hurt and possibly maim anyone working on it! Can't you see this as a violation of the memory of what happened to us at the hands of Islamic "extremists?" You don't get it, do you? You don't seem to understand how Islam operates or the psychology behind what they do. It is a religion of fear, murder, and subjugation. So if they want to impose themselves upon us here they had better get ready for those of us who revile them and will do something to protect our homes and fellow citizens from them.

Allow me to spell this out in clear English, they are INVADING US and trying to destroy our way of life and personal freedom in the name of Allah and Mohamed!

Have you ever heard some of the crap these Imans speak?

uhuh, and in the 18 and 1900's Africans and caucasions were causing havoc on each other in AFRICA

Make no mistake, Islam is Racist

Tabari II:11 "Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African's color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks."

Tabari II:21 "Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham's descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem's, the latter would enslave them."

Bukhari:V4B52N137 "The Prophet said, 'Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him.... If he [the black slave] asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession [to get into paradise], his intercession will be denied.'"

And there's lots more ....

Minor correction, Colonialist Europeans and Native Africans were causing havoc in Africa.

And I am so glad to see you too have read what I feel is the worst book since the bible for tales of raw violence and evildoing.

Liberals sold their soul to idealism and they cannot see what the problem is until the very criminals they have been defending finally turn on them!

Coexistence indeed....

so you would want to maim anyone 'working' on a site you find offensive? doesnt sound too much different from the mindset of terrorists,,,


but in any case, slavery isnt the only racial havoc that has occured in history,, and yes, whites did buy slaves in AFrica, and yes whites did have oppressionist regimes during Apartheid, and yes

the races did cause havoc on each other in AFRICA


but the topic I was actually discussing was AMERICANS today(including those of muslim faith)

you brought up whites and africans,, and i answered that, they destroyed a complex of buildings, and are building a mosque there in its place... when they destroy more buildings, they will build more buildings.... i really don't know why you asked, you know they only destroyed 1 so far...and building 1 mosque in its place.

Let's put it this way, first of all I have asked you repeatedly if you could live under Sharia law and you ALWAYS dodge the question!

That mosque is an insult. Worst is our elected officials are hell bent for leather to impress upon us their world views even at the expense of good taste, common sense, and also their WORLD CULTURE. Islam resorts to violence when they get the chance. They defile sacred ground.The sick thing is more so than anything that our elected officials take money from these azzholes and let them do as they will as long as they get their money! Public opinion be damned. If I was living in New York I would be eager to know the face of the man I would hit with a brick in the face if I seen him walking the streets, the man funding and building this atrocity! So if protests don't work, lawsuits and injunctions, and likewise public outcry denouncing this slap in the face of America well,

If violence was acceptable for your BOY Malcolm X because he was so oppressed then GUESS WHAT, why isn't it acceptable to those of us who know what this mosque is?

What is the color of Hypocrisy? I will walk in peace with those who walk in peace with me. Those who chose to wish me harm on the other hand deserve no consideration!

So now what? Is my evil showing? Like I care or consider that a bad thing considering how evil Islam IS!

So it is terror trying to keep a "bad tenant" out of our home? It is terror preventing evil people from glorifying their own evil in our collective face? They flew planes into our buildings, they KILL innocent people every day!

There is no such thing as a peaceful Islam!

At least I am not a hypocrite!
