The 'Mosque' is not a Mosque, it is an Islamic Cultural Centre, open to all and situated several blocks from Ground Zero. And Alfonzo Mendez is one person, not the entire Force. Hisham Elanaty, 'tho a significant investor, is also one person among many who have invested. Let's not make judgements against all. The USA is a secular Country, long may it remain so.

My friend Roger: We are being sold the project proposed for 2 blocks from the 911 attack site as an "Islamic Cultural Center."
The biggest part of that project is the Mosque.

And in light of all the pain and resistance flooding out in opposi...tion to this project, AT THE PROPOSED SITE, one would think building it elsewhere would go A VERY LONG WAY to SHOW the world that the Muslims behind this project are truly concerned with the HEALING process and thus would retreat from attempting to CRAM this Mosque down the throat of America!

You're correct about Hisham Elanaty being only one of several investors behind this Mosque, but he's the only one we have heard about since the Muslim organization behind this Mosque refuse to reveal their financing backers.

So I do not think I am alone when I say that if this is the kind of backers this organization has-and we have to find them out only after criminal acts have been revealed about them- for that reason alone this project should not be allowed no matter where they decide to build! If their investors are so concerned with HEALING and TRANSPARENCY, why are they HIDING in the BACKGROUND?

EVERYONE in America is an immigrant. Me, you and all except the Native American Indian. I get that and respect that, this country was built by immigrants! But to use the false pretense (like so many in support of the Mosque being built 2 blocks away from the 911 attack site use) that the backers of this Mosque are being denied Freedom of Religion is Treasonous and about as deceitful as a human being can get!

NO ONE supporting that viciously false pretense gets a single droplet of RESPECT from me! NO ONE!

Over 100 Mosques are operating in the NYC area. Only an idiot, Islamic Extremist, or an Islamic Terrorist sympathizer would dream of making THAT argument!

Alfonso Mendez on the other hand is but one of the SEVERAL HUNDRED NYPD puke bags that have been CAUGHT subverting their responsibility to the public they are supposed to SERVE & PROTECT! THEY WORK FOR US, WE DO NOT WORK FOR THEM!!!

The NYPD currently has several THOUSAND complaints against hundreds of their TROGLODYTES masquerading as New York's "FINEST."

To the argument that we should not hold all responsible for the actions of one: I AGREE with you wholeheartedly!

WHY THEN must ALL TAXPAYERS-EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US- be made to pay the COUNTLESS MILLIONS in judgments against SCUMBAGS the likes of NYPD TROGODYTE ALFONSO MENDEZ?

WHY?
WHY do these BASTARDS get away without having to pay DOLLARS into any judgment against them? They should be made to pay for the rest of their miserable puke-bag lives!!!

FUCK THE PROPONENTS OF THE MOSQUE THAT INSIST IT BE BUILT AT THE CURRANT PROPOSED SITE!!!

AND FUCK ALL THOSE WHO SIDE WITH THE MENDEZ'S OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS!!!"
