Iran cash might fund Ground Zero mosque
The developers of the Ground Zero mosque are refusing to flat out reject cash for the project from Holocaust-denying Iranian nuke nut Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"I can't comment on that" was the reply of mosque spokesman Oz Sultan yesterday when asked specifically if the fund-raising would extend to Iran and Saudi Arabia. "We'll look at all available options within the United States to start."

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the leader of the project known as Park51, has said at meetings with downtown officials that he would raise money for the 13-story mosque from local Muslims, foundations and the sale of bonds.

But in an interview with a London-based Arab newspaper earlier this year, he admitted his fund-raising would also extend to Muslim nations around the world.

#1 Ah, but that doesn't matter. Let the rest of the world think they are contributing to a monument to America's weakness, we all know it's really a tribute to our religous tolerance!

We really outsmarted those rubes!

It's all about what we (should) think!

#3 Does Saudi Arabia hate us? They are in the mideast and they are muslim. I'd say yes. Particularly since they have been financing hatred for 30 years.
