DENIED! Muslims’ Application for $5 Million in Taxpayer Funds for the Ground Zero Victory Mosque

The jihadist-linked developers of the Park51 (Ground Zero Victory Mosque) Islamic center had the cojones to ask for federal post-9/11 recovery money to get their project off the ground. Fortunately, they failed.

DNA Park5182;s request for funding sparked controversy among those who did not want to see an Islamic center so close to the site of the 9/11 attacks. It appears that Park51 did not meet the eligibility requirements because the organization has not yet received its nonprofit certification.

Park51 recently applied for a $5 million grant from the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., which has distributed over $2 billion in federal funds since 9/11. The grant would have partly gone toward Islamic programs at the planned $100 million mosque and community center two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, including domestic violence prevention, Arabic and other foreign language classes.

The Park51 center “is desperately needed in Lower Manhattan,” said the developers.

On the first part you are correct...the second...well...I'm a block north of WTC and the center is 1/2 block east of me...I feel as if I'm at Ground Zero...

I could be wrong tho...

From 3,000 miles away, when some one says "ground zero" it sounds like the proposed community center is on the WTC site itself.

Had I shared your experience on that day, I have no doubt I'd feel as you do.

When I worked in the Pentagon years ago, we called the interior open (outdoor) space ground zero FWIW. They had a snack shop at the very center in some sort of gazebo looking structure.

Pentagon Cold War Legend to be Torn Down

The hot dog stand in the Pentagon's center courtyard, which has long been a source of Cold War speculation, folklore and legend, will be torn down in the coming months. During the Cold War, the Soviets reportedly thought the hot dog stand led to a secret underground bunker. (DOD photo/Steven Donald Smith)

After further review, you are correct and I am not.

But, look at it this way...it's close enough to make people uncomfortable.

I'm on the fence. I find it at the peak of arrogance to do this. But, I also recognize that my own sensibilities aren't, nor should they be, immune from being offended.

Here is some more trivia that I recall from my Pentagon days. Maybe from the Pentagon tours that they used to give... Before my time that snack shop was swarming with pigeons and their pigeon crap. They used to have some sort of pneumatic device that sounded like a shot gun that used to be in place to scare off the pigeons every 20 minutes or whatever.

Then someone with smarts advised them to have that metal owl installed on top of the snack shop and it did the trick - a $30 solution to a million dollar problem.

There are many Muslims who agree with you believing their religion teaches them to be sensitive to and considerate of the feelings of non-Muslims.

This is a shame. They have the right to buy this property and to put on it any sort of community asset they see fit to put there.

Ditto in regards to your above feedback by the way.

You are correct. We gave up trying to adopt aggressive anti squirrel protocols in tree villages at forestry actions in the forest.

We just took the posture that we were dealing with critters doing what they do to survive in their own home.

As for your owl, how does trying to scare birds with a nocturnal preditor they seldom see because they are out at night make sense?

I could understand a plastic hawk, but not an owl. Think about it.

I'm a purple martin fan and have several homes for them, as do others in the neighborhood. They are amazing and keep us mosquito free in the spring and summer.

I guess I rarely see owls because they come out after happy hour.

Makes you double think that donation to PETA do they?

I have relatively squirrel proof bird feeders and, when that fails, I put safflower seeds in...they can't stand them...I now use red pepper suet exclusively...

But, I have a freind who, as part of his business, has a food warehouse...I get all of his expired peanuts and walnuts...I put them away from the feeders and the squirrels cooperate...

We don't have many purple martins but we do have lots of other swallow types here.

We put Mosquito Fish in all the troughs and ponds, which seems to do the trick.

It's not my title bimbo, everyone who writes these articles has their own. And if you think all they want to build is a community center, I think the Brooklyn Bridge is still up for sale. Also, if you had taken the time to read the intire piece, you would have seen the phrase "so close to the site of the 911 attacks".
