There is no such 100 million dollar with any of the Islamic organizations except perhaps the thugs of the middle East dictators. The muslims in the US are for the most part first generation immigrants that are not organized politically and at best run mosques on shoe string budgets. Most of these immigrans are either too smart for their home countries and have the 'good' jobs on merit or too dumb yet live comfortably here in the US working 10-12 Hours a day. Visit any of the prayer places and you will see for your self what I mean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237442663358807195.post-37438346081156266152010-05-14T22:09:09.038-04:002010-05-14T22:09:09.038-04:00This article http://www.rightsidenews.com/20100514...This article http://www.rightsidenews.com/2010051410192/homeland-security/ground-zero-mosque-developer-and-muslim-brotherhood.html has info on funding sources.

For a community which has so many critical needs for education, food, relief from oppression and global information sharing and which is so resource starved, to spend $ 100 million, is highly unjustified. I hope someone will have the good sense to put a stop to this.Yawarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009191506076434386noreply@blogger.com
