Ground Zero imam scoffs at NY gov offer to relocate

So much for bridge building. Rauf smells the dhimmitude and he’s holding out for a much bigger payday – be it an Islamic fortress at Ground Zero, big cash and prime real estate, or attempting to paint another bullseye for future generations of jihadists on New York City.



Gov. David Paterson said Wednesday that developers of an Islamic cultural center that would include a mosque near ground zero have rejected his offer to help them find a different site.



While in Manhattan, Paterson said the group apparently wants to remain with its current plans to build near the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.



“I think they would like to stay where they are, and I certainly respect that and I certainly respect them,” Paterson said after the group spoke with one of his staff members. “Having said that, how much more foresighted would it have been if the Imam who is the developer of the project had been willing to hear what we are actually talking about?”



“I wanted to talk to them (the developers) about what was the possibility of just having a conversation about would there be a way to provide a center for people of the Muslim faith in lower Manhattan, and it not interfere with what is still a memorial to what happened on September 11,” Paterson said.



“I hope that the type of cultural understanding that they are trying to promote when they build this center could be practiced right now,” he added.



Nice, but foolish, try infidel, via NY gov says Islamic group won’t relocate mosque – Yahoo! News. Con Ed – are you listening?
