No Mosques At Ground Zero

UPDATE: (had to deactivate the power point in another post further down. Couldn’t mute the beautiful song. Didn’t realize it was interfering with  videos in other posts. Sorry! )

September 10, 2010:  The One World, One Race crowd gathered to preach ‘peace and love’ ; all marching in lock-step to the Victory Mosque at Ground Zero

Foot Note: More details will be posted after the rally tomorrow.

It was September 9, 2010, and in two days  it would be nine years since Muslim terrorists murdered almost 300o innocent people. Their fateful “mistake” that day…they went to work  or they chose to travel, to fly somewhere (for work or play)  but on that day, September 11, 2001 they were murdered in the name of Allah.

With the proposed Ground Zero Victory Mosque looming on the horizon , Americans are wounded but wiser. Yet, looking at the odd assembly of people and perspectives at the corner of Park Place and Church Street on this day, the wise seemed to be no where in site….we decided it HAD TO BE A FULL MOON.

Foot Note: Will have to fill in the blanks on who these people are, after the 9-11 Rally.

The map was obtained by The Post from sources after the Fire Department did not respond to requests to review it. It shows that remains were found just 348 feet to the south of the mosque site at 45 Park Place, on top of the massive post-office building that stretches along Barclay Street, from Church Street to West Broadway.

However, what we have recently learned, is that some of those getting ready to travel  have been a bit busy after-work and into the wee hours of the AM…. painting MURALS on their CAR!

45-47 Park Place was once up on a time, the Burlington Coat Factory…

Until it was damaged by plane debris on 9-11 ,  that remains lodged in the building...

24/7 the Ground Zero Mosque has been feeding the media-beast with “how nice their are” and dropping more than a few snide inferences about “the other side” ….

Are they compensating these protestors to stand, sit and camp-out at the Park51 site… day and night? Don’t any of them have regular jobs? Or, maybe, holding-signs in front of 45-47 is their current employment (compliments of ….)

Fact: The Left is the darling-of-the-media. They (the Left) are so ‘wise’ and can do-no-wrong.

Leftards : Good ….

ANYONE on the Right: BAD (as far as the Left is concerned)

Just look at how “wise and thoughtful” these young “Bridge-Builders” are…

However, Leftists (protestors OR media) never mean it when they say they “respect you” and  “you have right to your opinion”.

They do not ARGUE or SHOUT at the opposition (which is us)  particularly if a camera is rolling)…

They are practiced at remaining calm while creating a situation where (eventually) someone inexperienced on our-side, starts screaming at them. They will smile and smirk and respond, perhaps, but the novice is the one yelling at the Leftard.

Sometimes, they even wear costumes. This Lefty infiltrator counts on his garb as a ” priest” to keep our-side from noticing what his sign says…

His goal, a photo-op. It’s that simple. With this message:

He was asked politely to leave, once he was ‘outed’ , and he politely left. That’s our goal! No angry photo-ops….

Another example, May 25, 2010, at a Community Board 1 meeting, the media LOVED this guy (who appeared to be on our side). He kept interrupting and shouting through-out the whole meeting. Was he really on-our-side? Or another ruse? ( the Leftards do send in plants)

The press couldn’t get enough of him or this woman. She never stopped screaming. Not helpful to our side. And since neither of these two people were familiar to those who are frequently on-the- scene, we  wondered,were they plants or just  inexperienced?

Either way, the press got what they yearned for: Nasty “Hate-mongers from the Right”. And Calm” Gentle-spoken Lefties” who support the mosque. Chums!

The Leftists are polite, law-abiding citizens who come together to chant their slogans and march ’round and ’round in circles (for hours). Friends…chums…really nice “bridge-builders”  (just ask the press)

The Lefties cause no problems, co-operate with the police, carry America flags and copies of the Constitution: Wow!

But, signs like these, mixed in with the crowd, are meant to inflame….

I witnessed two men from our-side getting ‘in to’ it with their-side. They came over, maybe just to look, but the Lefties are very skilled at getting-a-rise out the opposition (us) . They use their signs, under-the-breath cracks and overt aggression; whatever it takes to get someone to ‘bite’.

Then, they are calm, quiet and oh-so-NICE again

These two “well-rounded:” jerks yelled anti-VIETNAM cracks at two vets. Then they  laughed and smirked at how ‘funny’ they were. It almost worked with one  of the passers-by but the commotion was diffused fast by someone (not sure who) the police or by someone in-the-crowd…

Talking with these Leftists,is pointless. They are pre-programmed  with “racist”, “bigot” and “yadayadayada”…

Better to look and then, just walk away.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

If you can help someone like this woman to calm down and to just walk away:  Wonderful!

Give the press pictures of flags, flags and more flags!

Many 9-11 Family members will come together to remember their loved ones  murdered that day by Muslim terrorists…

We will  honor their memories by saying, “NO to a Victory Mosque on Ground Zero”

NY Post: The attraction in this hot market was buying real estate that could be demolished, the source said. A second downtown mosque, not affiliated with El-Gamal, considered spending $18 million for 45-47 Park Place in early 2008.

But the Pomerantz family — for reasons that remain unclear — rejected the offers.

They took 70 percent less from El-Gamal than what Glodek offered:

Some observations at  Jihad Watch:

Every day brings new revelations of how shady and dishonest the leaders of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative are, and how fishy the whole endeavor has been from the beginning. “Mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking $4.8M one,” by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein in the New York Post, September 5:

The original owners of the Ground Zero mosque site mysteriously spurned dozens of higher bids before selling the prime downtown real estate at a bargain-basement price.The Pomerantz family, which had owned the building since the late 1960s and fielded offers after the patriarch died in 2006, rejected at least one bid that was nearly four times what prospective mosque builder Sharif El-Gamal eventually paid, The Post has learned.

El-Gamal did offer what could be viewed as a sweetener to his $4.8 million bid in July 2009 — a job as a property manager for a son of the family, Sethian Pomerantz.

New York developer Kevin Glodek was livid when he found out the building sold for a fraction of what he offered in 2007 — $18 million cash — and wondered whether money changed hands under the table, according to sources close to the deal.

Glodek and his partners wanted to build a 60-story condo tower with retail space on the Park Place site, had inked a purchase agreement and even had keys to the existing building, according to sources and documents obtained by The Post.

But Kukiko Mitani — whose late husband, Stephen Pomerantz, owned the property — and her brother-in-law, Melvin Pomerantz, a trustee to the estate, went silent at the end of 2007 and Glodek’s deal disappeared, sources said.

Glodek, who owns the ChefsDiet food delivery service and several Manhattan properties, declined to comment.

The property is now at the heart of one of the most divisive issues in the country — whether it should be the location of a $100 million mosque and community center. The location two blocks from Ground Zero has been called insensitive, and questions have been raised about whether extremists will help fund the project. Recent polls show that 70 percent of New Yorkers want it moved.

El-Gamal had his eye on the property for years before buying it in 2009….

From NMAGZ: Imam Rauf, Daisy Khan, the el-Gamals feel it was divine intervention that led them to this iconic building. Looking at a map of the area, there really was no other building available (lot-s) to place their flag of conquest:  Cordoba House .

Parallel to 45-47 Park Place is two large full block buildings And the one facing the GZ pit is a US post Office.

Iconic, divinely ordained….it had to be 45-47 Park Place; they must have made a deal the owners ‘couldn’t refuse’:

Fredo: Hey, Mike, are you sure about that? I mean, Moe, loves the business. He never said anything to me about sellin’.

Michael: I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.

BREAKING: David Paine>>  He’s Not Even A 911 family Member

” David Paine went on Keith Olbermann representing 911 families (which he is not) and misled the American people about our Rally of Remembrance. The majority of 911 families support our tribute. A number of 911 family members pleaded with Olbermann, requesting equal time to speak in support of the rally and rebut Paine, but were refused.”

“The Rally is not the problem, the mosque is…..”

Latest Press Release from : 9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters & WTC Victims  from fellow 9/11 Families Regarding the September 11 Rally against the Ground Zero

The Rally is not the problem, the mosque is…..

“9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims”

Recently a 9/11 family group called for suppression of the September 11th rally near Ground Zero which opposes the construction of a mosque and cultural center near the sacred ground. Many 9/11 families do not agree with attempting to stop this demonstration – and the majority of our group supports the purpose and principles of this rally.

We have been informed that this demonstration will in no way interfere with the Anniversary Commemoration – instead it will be held at the site of the proposed mosque building at Park Place – after the conclusion of the 9/11 ceremony. Numerous family members, including many from out of state, have made arrangements to attend this important gathering.

While we respect the rights and opinions of others, we feel that no one should attempt to inhibit the expression of free speech for the large number of 9/11 family members who wish to participate in opposing the construction of this mosque and cultural center. This project represents a gross lack of sensitivity to the 9/11 families and disrespects the memory of all those who were murdered at the WTC both in 1993 and 2001.

We affirm that the 9/11 Anniversary is a very special and precious commemoration for all of us. However, we feel that by attending and participating in this rally, families can endeavor to ensure that the sacred ground will continue to be respected for posterity.

Many of our family members feel that they have a moral obligation to their loved ones to raise their voices as the world looks upon us and sees our plight.

For many family members, the looming, unresolved mosque controversy has made the upcoming September 11th Anniversary even more upsetting and troubling. There can be no peace and reflection for the 9/11 families who strongly feel that this proposed mosque is disrespectful and insensitive. On 9/11, as the world is focusing on Ground Zero, families want to be able to raise their voices and say to the world that this is wrong.

While it is possible for some to seek peace and reflection on 9/11 – for others it is better to actively seek justice and honor the legacy of their loved ones by publicly challenging this building whose location so affronts the sensitivity of large numbers of victims’ families. While we may all wish for peace and tranquility – if there is no justice for the victims and their families- there will be no peace for any of us.

No one is being forced to attend this rally, but all family members should have the right to choose whatever they wish to do. On this most poignant day, relatives and friends of the victims have the right to join together with other 9/11 family members who want their voices to be heard in honor of their lost loved ones.

A message for Pamela and Robert:

.
We are grateful that a wide spectrum of 9/11 families have declared their unequivocal support for our September 11 Rally of Remembrance honoring the victims of 9/11 and ensuring that their memories will not be desecrated by the construction of an Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero.

We are aware that some 9/11 families, while declaring their opposition to the mega-mosque, have asked us to move the date from September 11 because they feel that our rally will be “disrespectful.” As they must know, we did not choose the date of the rally to be “disrespectful” for those who were murdered on September 11, 2001. In fact, we did not choose it at all. The date was chosen for us when Daisy Khan announced that the Islamic supremacists plan to break ground for their mosque on September 11, 2011. (She denies this now, contradicting her own words.)

They are trying to co-opt the date of September 11 for their own nefarious purposes. We are not willing to let them succeed in that attempt. In a certain sense, we are all 9/11 family members: as a nation, we all suffered grievous harm on September 11, 2001. As Americans, we want to reclaim September 11 as a day of mourning — and as a day of national resolve and remembrance to stand up to the inhuman ideology that slaughtered 3,000 precious souls on September 11, 2001.

As such, we are beginning the rally after the conclusion of the memorial services, and we are starting with a solemn memorial of our own, featuring a minister and rabbi offering prayers for the 9/11 families and for the nation. Only in that context are we going to speak about the Ground Zero mega-mosque at all.

By so doing we are going to do our part to reclaim 9/11 for patriots. Those who don’t have special press credentials or status as a 9/11 family member have been subjected every to the 9/11 truthers, the America-haters, the conspiracy mongers, trinket hawkers, and those openly crowing about America’s defeat on that day. Ground Zero turns into a desecration of the memories of the fallen. The 9/11 families, inside their secure area, may have experienced the day as a time of mourning in an atmosphere of sanctity. But outside that area, 9/11 has been claimed every year by enemies of our nation. Consequently, the idea of gathering tens of thousands of patriots at Ground Zero, to stand reverently and respectfully for American values, honors the memory of those who died on September 11, 2001 simply because they were Americans.

The patriots at Ground Zero, praying for the victims’ families and for America, have been asked out of respect not to bring signs, but only American flags. The rally is a one of remembrance, dedicated to honoring the memory of those who were murdered, and making sure their memory is not desecrated by this mosque. How does such a spectacle in any way dishonor the victims of the 9/11 attacks?

We have received scores of emails from 9/11 family members, urging us not to change the date, but to keep it where it was.

Despite this faction’s stated opposition to the mega-mosque at Ground Zero, no one will be more pleased by their statement against our rally than Ibrahim Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations, Muslim Brotherhood groups such as MSA, ISNA, and ICNA, the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, Daisy Khan, and Sharif El-Gamal.

Thousands of patriots praying with flags, weeping, at Ground Zero on September 11, instead of a gang of 9/11 Truthers and thugs.

The predictably offensive 9-11 TrOOthers were out in 2008 showing NO RESPECT for those who were murdered by TERRORISTS!

(video of the Truthers on 9-11 in 2008 here)

Given the declarations of Daisy Khan about September 11, 2011 and the carnival atmosphere of every September 11 in the past few years, we cannot and will not move the date. It is necessary for Americans to reclaim that date. We’re not coming to agitate. We’re coming to pay our respects.

WHY have the PRIORITIES of MAYOR BLOOMBERG BEEN DISPLACED?? WHO BOUGHT HIM OFF??

From a friend of NMAGZ:

“There was a wonderful Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero-St. Nicholas-established in 1916.

It was the ONLY place of worship at Ground Zero and on September 11th, the entire weight of World Trade Center Tower 2 came down on St. Nicholas Church, completely destroying the building and its contents.

Only a handful of damaged icons and religious items were found amongst the rubble.

We were promised (We-yes I use to go there and to most of us Greeks, our religion is very much a part of who we are) land at 120 Liberty Street by Governor Pataki and then Spitzer. However over a year ago, the Port Authority in conjunction with the Governor Patterson have ceased negotiations–as in “won’t return our calls”.

The PR the Port Authority came out with is that the Church was greedy, wanted money, etc.  All false!!! Now lo and behold and Mosque deal has been done, it seems Governor Patterson had time for that!! To me, its 2 things–an attack on Christianity and money that is passing under the table faster than the speed of light-these are my opinions.

Also, Mayor Bloomberg, has said on the radio that he is in the process of negotiating with the Church, that is an outright lie!
