In a move that is likely do more to fuel the debate on the Ground Zero "Mosque" than to garner support for it, Sharif El-Gamal sat down with CBS's 60 Minutes to explain his heritage. He says he is a New Yorker, an American born in Brooklyn, at Methodist Hospital, to a Polish-Catholic mother and an Egyptian father and he's married to a Christian girl. Let's see, now we've got all the bases covered, he's an American because he was born on American soil but were his parents legal immigrants? He has a Catholic heritage as well as Muslim but he says he is Muslim.
El-Gamal says he wants to bring all cultures together at that spot because he "does not hold himself or his faith" accountable for the 911 attacks. Other Americans may not be so "tolerant" of that point-of-view. It seems that CBS bent over backwards to try and make this man appear mainstream by explaining to the "rubes" here in middle America that its not that easy to pick up a plot of land in Manhattan because NYC has such a vibrant Real Estate Market. Nothing to see here...move along...
The question still persists as to where Mr. El-Gamal gets his financing. He must be the luckiest rags to riches story in America. Five years ago he was a lowly waiter in a Manhattan restaurant and today he is a multi-millionaire Real Estate Developer who can't seem to pay off his smaller debts but can spend 4.5 million dollars in cash for the Burlington Coat Factory Building. Boy those tips must have been fantastic...
...and in another cultural coincidence, he also joined his local Jewish Community Center. Diversity is alive and well and living in this one man, like no other American. Maybe he is a member of the NAACP and La Raza too....

No "Fitna" at Ground Zero...
There is much fitna being done at Ground Zero. Fitna is a word that in Islamic circles means "mischief-making". This is a practice that the Koran seems to forbid but fitna exists at Ground Zero nonetheless.
In the Koran Muslims are told to "Be considerate when you debate with the People of the Book" meaning Gentiles and Jews. It looks like the nuances of the Koran are lost in this instance by the Progressive politicians and Islamic terror supporters in approving the mosque at Ground Zero.
Any sane person with even mildly developed sensitivity knows that to place this mosque within the view of Ground Zero is an affront to every American citizen who remembers and reveres the memories of those killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11. The visions of those attacks for most Americans are burned into our hearts and mind so to denigrate them in this manner is unconscionable.
Islam has a great affinity for cutthroat reminders of their perceived conquests over their enemies. For Muslim extremists anyone who denies the Koran is an infidel and worthy of destruction. Their goal is to conquer the world or destroy it. Muslims have had a long history of conquering cities and countries and erecting great mosques to to show the conquered masses their dominance over them.
The city of Andalusia, Spain was conquered in the tenth century by warring Muslims and renamed Cordoba. In near-mythical terms it was said to be the largest monument to Muslim "enlightenment" in the world. It boasted 700 mosques, 60,000 palaces and 70 libraries housing over 500,000 Arabic books. It was said to have had over 500,000 residents and was touted as the first city in Europe to have street lights. It replaced a Christian city that had stood for 500 years
Now Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf wants to name his 13 story Islamic center, Cordoba House. Why should Americans believe that his intentions are pure and an outreach to us? They shouldn't. History proves that Islam loves revenge and domination. One of the tenets of Islam is to show superiority over an enemy and to use mosques to flout its victories. This is from a blogsite that exposes the Qur'an (Koran) for what it says. From Ben's Blog: "I will reveal it to you as I found it in the Hilali & Khan Noble Qur'an."
From the website Polipundit:
"The Great Mosque Of Cordoba, which like its proposed namesake in New York, was built to dominate a conquered people:"
The design has been modified but still retains its crescent shape and Mecca orientation.
So it appears much fitna is being done in more than one location in the United States. The bitterness American feel toward radical Islam is not being eased by these acts. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf who is spearheading the Ground Zero project has a questionable past and ties to Islamic extremist. His father was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood said to be the spiritual forerunner of Al-Queda. From Pajamas Media...
The real fitna here may be to get the state of New York to help pay for some of the construction. It seems it is already being considered by Governor Patterson who in order to distance himself from President Obama's fluid support of the mosque has offered Imam Rauf a contribution from state funds if the Imam will move the project away from Ground Zero. Fitna indeed...

- 9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
From the website Polipundit:
"The Great Mosque Of Cordoba, which like its proposed namesake in New York, was built to dominate a conquered people:"
The building was begun in approximately AD 600 as the Christian Visigothic church of St. Vincent. After the Islamic conquest of the Visigothic kingdom the Emir Abd ar-Rahman I bought the church. Abd ar-Rahman I and his descendants reworked it over two centuries to refashion it as a mosque, starting in 784.Its not even the first monument to Islamic victory over America from 9/11. The coincidences in the design of the Flight 93 Memorial are creepy. Tom Burnett, Sr. father of Tom Burnett, Jr, a victim of Flight 93, believes the design of the memorial represents the SECOND mosque being built on a 9/11 site. He believes it will be the biggest mosque in the world.
The design has been modified but still retains its crescent shape and Mecca orientation.
So it appears much fitna is being done in more than one location in the United States. The bitterness American feel toward radical Islam is not being eased by these acts. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf who is spearheading the Ground Zero project has a questionable past and ties to Islamic extremist. His father was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood said to be the spiritual forerunner of Al-Queda. From Pajamas Media...
Rauf’s father, Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rauf (1917-2004) — an Egyptian contemporary of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna — conveyed to Feisal his family’s long tradition of radicalism, which he acquired at Islam’s closest equivalent to the Vatican, Al-Azhar University. The elder Dr. Rauf studied and taught there before fleeing Egypt in 1948. That year, Feisal Abdul Rauf was born in Kuwait.
Feisal Rauf has planned for some time to further develop his father’s U.S. Islamic expansionism. In 1990, Rauf opened the tiny al-Farah Mosque at 245 West Broadway in lower Manhattan. Area residents did not even notice the mosque until 2006, when the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) refused to license a new bar on the same block and started yanking others’ liquor licensesLooks like Greg Gutfield may have some problems getting a liquor license for the "gay Muslim bar" he wants to build in the Ground Zero neighborhood to protest the Ground Zero Mosque. We sure don't want to offend the "religion of peace". According to Reihan Salam of NRO's blog: "Ground Zero is a construction site." Nothing sacred here...move along.
The real fitna here may be to get the state of New York to help pay for some of the construction. It seems it is already being considered by Governor Patterson who in order to distance himself from President Obama's fluid support of the mosque has offered Imam Rauf a contribution from state funds if the Imam will move the project away from Ground Zero.
