Hopefully, this report is correct
After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York – it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.
The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.
Sources in New York said on Monday that Muslim religious and business leaders will announce plans to abandon the project in the next few days.
Obviously, we all know that this will be blamed on the vicious right wing bigots racists neocon Islamaphobes, because the Left and the media preferred to simply look away from, as they have always done, the nature of extremist Islam. (yup, Maha, link below, calls us bullies and thugs. Excitable Charles Johnson, in multiple posts, is calling us hate bloggers.)
The Jawa Report wonders why they would abandon the GZ mosque plans
Could the fact Hamas came out on support of it after Obi One did? Or, the fact GZ Mosque website (Cordoba Initiative) was caught removing Iran connection, etc? Or, taxpayers dollars used for GZ Imam’s bridge building looking to raise funds mission to the ME? Or, Greg Gutfeld’s Islamic friendly gay bar? Or, Ground Zero bus ads?
Also, Big Peace is reporting that the plans to abandon the mosque are incorrect. We will wait and see.
