13-Story Mosque To Be Built Two Blocks From WTC - Committee In Charge of Development Named After Seat of Islamic Caliphate In Spain
From Watcher:
Islam gets a foothold right near the place where some 3,000 people were killed in the name of Allah on September 11, 2001.
(NY Daily News) A proposal to build a mosque steps from Ground Zero received the support of a downtown committee despite some loved ones of 9/11 victims finding it offensive.
The 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center was unanimously endorsed by the 12-member Community Board 1's financial district committee.
The $100 million project, called the Cordoba House, is proposed for the old Burlington Coat Factory building at Park Place and Broadway, just two blocks from the World Trade Center site.
"I think it will be a wonderful asset to the community," said committee Chairman Ro Sheffe.
Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims.
He said the glass-and-steel building would include a 500-seat performing arts venue, a swimming pool and a basketball court. "There's nothing like it," said Rauf, adding that facilities will be open to all New Yorkers.
Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and a member of the Cordoba Initiative's board, said donations are being sought to pay for the construction.
Khan said the project has received little opposition.
Cordoba was the Seat of the Islamic Caliphate, and the location of the Grand Mosque.
This Mosque is named after the Seat of the Caliphate for a reason. I'm quite sure this "Ro Scheffe" shithead doesn't even know the fucking history.
Tthe dumb bitch who would sign away Western Civilization for a few beads of PC feel-goodiness.
