#1 Khan said the project has received little opposition.

I believe that's because this is the first most people have heard of it. Be prepared, lady. This is like trying to get a statue of Hitler put up at Auschwitz.

"Whatever concerns anybody has, we have to make sure to educate them that we are an asset to the community," Khan said.

Yes, Islam is a religion of peace...stupid infidel! Pay no attention to that big hole a couple of blocks down.

#2 "Whatever concerns anybody has, we have to make sure to educate them that we are an asset to the community," Khan said.

We've already had something of a glimpse of what an "asset" you are to the community Mr. Khan. We've been watching London, Paris, Dearborn, and Gaza for decades now.

#3 I remember wild tales from the cold war in which superpowers put nuclear bomb inside their embassies to assure they could have at least one go off in the enemies capital. Not saying anyone would ever build a bomb or store weapons in a mosque, just saying.

#6 In that picture, counting the windows of he building next to this Mosque, it's plain the building is 20 stories tall.

Liars. (But then that's normal, isn't it)

#7 No different from the Japanese erecting an embassy annex and Japanese cultural center next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial.

#9 Cordoba Initiative

You gotta love it - under the guise of reconciliation, these mooks are naming the project after a Spanish Christian city once conquered by Muslims. And the local community board is approving the project. If this is an example of New York's sophistication, I'm content to be unsophisticated.

#16 Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, who helped found the Cordoba Initiative following the 9/11 attacks, said the project is intended to foster better relations between the West and Muslims
Would that be the dissembling Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, along with Dr. Eric Ormsby, a Professor of Islamic Studies at McGill University, who are the subject of this post.
