"El-Gamal had his eye on the property for years before buying it in 2009. CBS News interview of el-Gamal clarifies:
Pelley: Did it occur to you when you were putting this together that that was two blocks too close to a place that many, many people feel very strongly about?
El-Gamal: Not at all. It did not even cross my mind once.
Pelley: Why not?
El-Gamal: Because I did not hold myself or my faith accountable for that tragedy.
El-Gamal didn't spring this on the neighborhood. He says it took eight years to negotiate the purchase. EIGHT YEARS OF NEGOTIATING! El-Gamal closed on this property Jul 16, 2009, just two months shy of the eight year anniversary of 9/11. IT IS NO COINCIDENCE that the property in question at GROUND ZERO was a coveted prize given El-Gamal's own recollection of "EIGHT YEARS" of negotiations.
El-Gamal was lusting for this conquest while the city of New York was still blanketed in the ash containing incinerated human flesh. By his own account, according to this CBS interview, el-Gamal & company (full disclosure please) were negotiating a piece of 9/11 while families were yet to be notified of the status of missing loved ones, while volunteers were carefully pulling apart the tangled carcus of both towers, gingerly hand filtering and cateloging personal artifacts from Islam's act of war on 9/11.

Sharif el-Gamal
Thanks to Will.
15 years ago Sharif el-Gamal was hustling cell phones at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island NY, anything for a buck. During the late 1990's and up to 2002 Sharif El-Gamal was waiting tables at Serafina’s Restaurant and Michael’s on West 55th Street in New York City and brother Sammy El-Gamal was waiting tables at Tao Restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan NY, from there they both broke into the real estate business by renting apartments on commission, they were not selling any properties at this time.
Sharif el-Gamal's guarantor's (co-signer) on a $39 million mortgage, Hisham Elzanaty, is evidently the same person listed as having contributed $1,000 to Obama's campaign, as well as numerous other donations to other politicians, including recently to Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a mosque supporter. Hisham Elzanaty is the owner of several medical companies run out of a building in the Bronx. East Tremont medical center is a clinic. In the reception area, there is a picture of Elzanaty proudly posing with his staff. But as state records show, Hisham Elzanaty was ordered to repay more than $331,000. An audit showed that one of his companies was overpaid by Medicaid, see more info below.
Monday, November 1, 1999 Passengers aboard Flight 990 included Egyptian parents of Hisham Elzanaty.Just hours after Hisham Elzanaty, 40, of Searingtown, New York, put his parents on their plane home to Cairo Egypt, he was awakened with the news that their flight was missing.

Is Hisham Elzanaty the real money behind the mosque?Is he putting up the money to build a shrine for his parents for further glory of Islam?
