Last week, the finance committee, composed of 12 people, voted unanimously in support the mosque after Imam Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan, made a presentation, no one knew about it, no announcement was The matter will now go to the full committee (more than 40 people). The full committee will be meeting on May 25. WE NEED YOU ALL TO ATTEND TO VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION. CB1 has no legal authority. Their "approval" or disapproval is in no way binding on the matter, but the media will be there and we need to send a message to Rauf, Khan and Mayor Bloomberg: This is wrong. This will do terrible harm to the 9/11 family community.

Please read my piece on the monster mosque in Human Events and look for me on FOX this weekend talking about this expression of conquest and supremacism: No 911 Mosque Human Events What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack? The only Muslim center that should be built in the shadow of the World Trade Center is one that is devoted to expunging the Koran and all Islamic teachings of the violent jihad that they prescribe, as well as all hateful texts and incitement to violence. The only center in the heart of the World Trade Center should be devoted to a Vatican II for Islam—an initiative for genuine reform. That is the only kind of Islamic center that would be appropriate at Ground Zero, although it probably wouldn’t last two minutes before it would be bombed by devout Muslims. Read it - and figure out how you can get to NYC June 6th to protest the monster. UPDATE: Before it's News has an excellent piece as well. They will be on location covering the June 6th rally - LIVE.

Andrea Peyser has a dead on balls column in today's New York Post. The question of funding is paramount. Sign the petition. Join the facebook groupand protest with us on 6/6/10 -- STOP THE 911 MEGA MOSQUE... A mosque rises over Ground Zero. And fed-up New Yorkers are crying, "No!" A chorus of critics -- from neighbors to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 to me -- feel as if they've received a swift kick in the teeth. The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city's heart. Plans to bring what one critic calls a "monster mosque" to the site of the oldBurlington Coat Factory building, at a cost expected to top $100 million, moved along for months without a peep. All of a sudden, even members of the community board that stupidly green-lighted the mosque this month are tearing their hair out. Paul Sipos, member of Community Board 1, said a mosque is a fine idea -- someplace else. "If the Japanese decided to open a cultural center across from Pearl Harbor, that would be insensitive," Sipos told me. "If the Germans opened a Bach choral society across from Auschwitz, even after all these years, that would be an insensitive setting. I have absolutely nothing against Islam. I just think: Why there?" Why, indeed. A rally against the mosque is planned for June 6, D-Day, by the human-rights group Stop Islamicization of America. Executive director Pamela Geller said, "What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack? Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn't dream of such an insult. It's a stab in the eye of America." Called Cordoba House, the mosque and center is the brainchild of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. Executive director Daisy Khan insists it's staying put. "For us, it's a symbol, a platform that will give voice to the silent majority of Muslims who suffer at the hands of extremists. A center will show that Muslims will be part of rebuilding lower Manhattan," said Khan, adding that Cordoba will be open to everyone. "We were pleased to see that the community welcomed us as an asset to lower Manhattan," she added. "The community board approved it." Not so fast. The Financial District Committee of Community Board 1 seems to have gotten ensnared in a public-relations ploy by mosque-makers. At a May 5 meeting, the committee gave the project an enthusiastic thumbs-up. But boards have zero say over religious institutions.

World Net Daily has an excellent piece on the atrocity about to be built at Ground Zero. Hats off to WND. No other media will cover this issue in a forthright, honest, rational fashion. Shame on the elites and the information power brokers for submitting to a self-enforced sharia. Sign the petition to stop the mosque here. Islamic mosque at 9/11 Ground Zero sparks protest WND A human-rights group is calling on Americans – especially family and friends of loved ones who were lost when Muslim terrorists murdered 2,751 people in the name of Allah on Sept. 11, 2001 – to fight construction of a 13-story Islamic mosque to be built just steps from Ground Zero. The five-story building at Park Place, just blocks north of the former World Trade Center site, was the site of a Burlington Coat Factory. That was, until a plane's landing-gear assembly crashed through the roof on the day 19 Muslim terrorists hijacked the airliners and flew them into the Twin Towers in 2001. Now Muslim worshippers currently occupy the building, and they plan to turn it into a major Islamic cultural center called the Cordoba House. The group Stop Islamization of America, or SIOA, led by Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs blogger and columnist, is hosting a "No 9/11 Mosque" rally at Ground Zero June 6 at noon to protest the construction. "What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack?" asked Geller, executive director of SIOA. "Any decent, American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn't dream of such an insult. It's a stab in eye of America." As WND reported, the building – previously vacant since that fateful day when time stood still as millions of Americans grieved the loss of loved ones, friends, family members, co-workers and strangers – was purchased last July by real-estate company Soho Properties, a business run by Muslims. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, or ASMA, was an investorin that transaction. Rauf has announced his plans to turn the building into a complete Islamic cultural center, with a mosque, a museum, "merchandising options," and room for seminars to reconcile religions, "to counteract the backlash against Muslims in general, " Speigel reported. The project may cost as much as $150 million. Plans for the facility also include a 500-seat performing arts theater, fitness center, swimmingpool, library, public conference rooms, basketball courts and restaurants, according to the Tribeca Tribune. Imam Rauf, born in Egypt, has written three books: "What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West," "Islam: A Sacred Law" and "Islam: A Search for Meaning." WND reported in 2003 when, at least four times that year, the FBI's New York field office held all-day sensitivity training sessions, not far from Ground Zero, featuring Rauf. Speaking for about two hours each session, "he gave an overview of Islamic culture and some of the differences between what fundamentalist terrorist groups say are the teachings of the Quran and what he believes, as a student of religion, the Quran actually says," said special agent James Margolin, spokesman for the FBI New York office. Rauf asserted that the Quran "certainly doesn't counsel terrorism, murder or mayhem," Margolin said. And he said terrorists have misinterpreted the Quranic term "jihad" to mean violent, or armed, struggle against nonbelievers. Rauf claims it means internal struggle. Rauf was invited to speak in Sydney, Australia, by Premier Bob Carr in 2004. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, he said the U.S. and the West must acknowledge the harm they've done to Muslims before terrorism can end. He said the West must understand the terrorists' point of view – and he blamed Christians for starting mass attacks on civilians. "The Islamic method of waging war is not to kill innocent civilians. But it was Christians in World War II who bombed civilians in Dresden and Hiroshima, neither of which were military targets," he said.

This one writes itself. Billions to Muslim nations and Muslim "entrepreneurs" and "fakestinian" terrorists and ummah outreach. But the middle finger to "hymietown" Jesse Jackson must be dancing naked in his mistress's boudoir. The thing is, if you won't name the enemy, or fight the enemy, or acknowledge that we are under attack, terror fighting dollars are all we have. The only defensive American soil, is crouching, ducking and waiting for the next attack - so how can you cut response-to-the-next-attack dollars, when that's all we've got going? By their fruits we shall know him, and so we know B. Hussein. White House decides to slash New York anti-terrorism funds 11 days after Times Square Bomb Try NY Daily News Eleven days after the botched plot to bomb Times Square, the Obama administratio on Wednesday slashed some $53 million from the city's terror-fighting budget. To top it off, the news comes as President Obama comes to town today to tap the city's deep pockets for the Democratic Party. The cuts, to be announced Thursday, target the annual allocations for transit security and port security, legislators said. The New York City area will get $111million for transit security in the final 2010 budget - a 27% chop from last year's $153 million. The port security program is getting chopped from $45 million to $33.8million - a cut of 25%. "The fact that the Obama administration would cut New York's homeland security funding just 11 days after the Times Square car bomb attempt is dangerous and unconscionable," King said. The Department of Homeland Security had forecast the cuts in December, but local leaders thought the administration would change its mind after a car packed with fireworks, propane tanks and fertilizer nearly detonated in the Crossroads of the World on May 1. Another terror plot busted up last September targeted the city's subways. "Just when we thought they finally realized a war on terror is going on, they do something like this," raged City Councilman Peter Vallone (D-Queens), head of the Council's Public Safety Committee. "This leaves us more vulnerable to 'man-caused disasters,'" he said sarcastically, referring to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's term for terror attacks. Homeland Security Department spokesman Matthew Chandler begged to differ with New York's interpretation, insisting his agency is "actively engaged in supporting New York City's first responders and overall preparedness." He argued that in 2009, the administration gave the area more than $457million for "terrorism and other threats." He blamed Congress for appropriating less money for 2010, and an administration official said if New York includes the cash it got from the economic stimulus bill passed in 2009, it's actually getting $47.3 million more than last year for ports and transit protection. King was unimpressed by that math, arguing the stimulus cash is a one-time payout that won't be repeated. "That's a story they're coming up with at the last minute, because an hour ago they were saying they couldn't give us the money because Congress only allocated $300 million," he said. "Actually Obama only asked for $250 million." King noted there is nothing stopping the administration from giving the city a bigger slice. "New York should get first shot, because we're the No. 1 target," he said.With Kathleen Lucadamo UPDATE: More homes raided in Times Square deadly car bomb plot UPDATE: The audacity: President Obama’s arrival in NYC today is billed as a thank you tour for the cops and civilians that saw something and said something during Faisal Shahzad’s failed terror attack.

Obama plans to announce as early as this week that he will begin a formal relationship with the Alliance of Civilizations, the 5-year-old, UN-backed stealth jihad, Islamic supremacist organization. What's next? How long before Obama joins the bloc of 56 countries in the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference)? The Alliance of Civilizations is an arm of the OIC. Bat Ye'or, after hearing Obama's submission speech to Islam in Cairo last June, said this: "The president’s speech is similar to many such declarations by European leaders. The question it raises is how much the West is ready to forgo truth and its basic principles in its supplication for obtaining peace with Islam. Clearly, the full Islamization of the West is the quickest way to obtain it. Obama’s political program in connection with the Alliance of Civilizations conforms to an OIC strategy that has already been accepted by the EU. In history, this policy has a name: the dhimmitude syndrome" And this from Bat Ye'or: Posted by Pamela Geller on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 10:42 PM in OIC: Oppression and Submission | Permalink | Comments (16) ShareThis Reblog (0) | | Digg This | Save to del.icio.us | Tweet This!

Russia and Turkey call for inclusion of Hamas in peace talks WJC hat tip Marion The presidents of Turkey and Russia have said that Hamas should not be excluded from the Middle East peace process. The Islamist group, which is backed by Syria and Iran, has been shunned by the West for refusing to recognize Israel, accept existing interim Israeli-Palestinian peace treaties and for its engagement in terrorist activities. At a joint news conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Ankara, President Abdullah Gül said peace could not be achieved if Hamas was not involved. Referring to indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Gül said: "Nobody should be excluded when these talks are held. Unfortunately the Palestinians are divided in two. They must be united and to unite them there must be talks with both sides. The Hamas side won elections in Gaza and so cannot be ignored.“ Posted by Pamela Geller on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 04:07 PM | Permalink | Comments (6) ShareThis Reblog (0) | | Digg This | Save to del.icio.us | Tweet This!THE 911 MOSQUE COMMUNITY BOARD MEETING MAY 25 -BE THERE!

OBAMA'S GROTESQUE MOVE TO JOIN THE "ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS": "THE DHIMMITUDE SYNDROME"
The Alliance of Civilizations [was] created to oppose the clash of civilizations, that is jihad. On 13 November 2006, the High-Level Group of the Alliance of Civilizations presented its report which sums up the request of the OIC at its Mecca Summit 9, in 2005, after the Cartoons affair. First, it adopts the Islamic view of history and politics by claiming that everything was fine between the three monotheistic religions until the 19th century, when the evil of European colonialism and Zionism destroyed this harmony. Then it affirms that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main source of Christian-Muslim antagonism, not the jihadist war and ideology that deny for others the right to exist. It proclaims that this conflict “remains one of the gravest threats to international stability” and formulates recommendations that again echo the OIC requests. Such views mirror Hitler accusing the Jews of fomenting World War II, or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, praised in the Hamas charter, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood which denies Israel’sright to exist.
