Ground Zero Mosque, AKA Park 51

[PaulS]

Does anyone know how the mosque was "designed to celebrate the attacks that killed 3,000 Americans!"?????

As an aside, my good friend was notified on the day they got Osama that her brother's remains were identified. There actually was quite a lot of them.

They were wearing tin foil.

The resemblance is uncanny.

You guys do understand the center was planned with help from the New York Jewish Community Center don't you?

Maybe you should do a little more research.

do you have any evidence of this?

I can find plenty of info where the mosque developers claimed/stated that they "modeled" their plans after the YMCA and the New York Community Center but nothing to support your claim that they actually helped plan it....

The planned center has been renamed Park51 to reflect the broad scope of its programs, modeled on the YMCA or Jewish Community Center of Manhattan

Too bad the innocents who were crushed or had to jump to
escape the inferno don't have a say in planning the center.

with this type of "planning help" from ONE of people at one of the MANY New York Jewish Community Centers and on a measley 100 million+ dollar project or so, I just don't know how the project didn't succeed or get off the ground she might have a future job in the Obama administration cuz' I guess every big project needs a "stroller consultant"

''Strollers,'' said Ms. Levitt, whom Ms. Khan had approached for advice on how to build an institution like the Jewish center -- with a swimming pool, art classes and joint projects with other religious groups.

Ms. Levitt, a rabbi, urged Ms. Khan to focus on practical matters like a decent wedding hall and stroller parking.

''You can use all these big words like diversity and pluralism,'' Ms. Levitt recalled telling Ms. Khan, noting that with the population of toddlers booming in Manhattan, ''I'm down in the lobby dealing with the 500 strollers.''

diversity and pluralism are ..."Big Words" ?

I know, I know...more "fear mongering lies"

to try to make this as clear as possible for you Spence...

if I were to find one director of one Muslim Community Center in New York( and I know that there are many) who opposed the location of the mosque center(and there were some who understood the sensitivities in the situation), and he'd been involved in either the planning(possibly with regard to stroller traffic) or been present at a rally in opposition to the location and then I made the broad statement here that "the rally was planned with help from the New York Muslim Community Center".....that would be a bit disingenuous...but probably not a whole lot different that claiming "most Americans".."most Economists"...."most Experts"....right?

Ya, the 5 story apartment building with the fire escapes goes very well with that look, fits right in

I wonder why they did not just rebuild the one a few blocks away?

I'll go back to the fishing related forums now and leave you guys to insult each other
