Imam Says NYC Mosque Site Is Not ‘Hallowed Ground’
The imam leading the effort to build an Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero says there is a “misperception” that the proposed site is sacred ground.
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said Monday that the location where the center would be built, two blocks from the World Trade Center, has a strip joint and betting parlors nearby. He says it’s “absolutely disingenuous” to suggest that it is “hallowed ground.”
Well, HE might not believe the area is hallowed ground, but there are a LOT of folks, me being one of them, that believe NO mosque should be built within 4000 miles of the area! I’m fairly certain that no one at the strip joint, or the betting parlors, are going to be shouting ‘allahu akbar’ and preaching ‘murder the infidels’.
4000 miles sounds about right to me:) but I think the “black hole” would be better place!
Should have made that 93,000,000 miles.
