Audacity: Ground Zero Mosque Developers Apply for $5M in U.S. Taxpayer Money

The "cultural bridge" appears to be in financial trouble.
November 22, 2010 - by Kyle-Anne Shiver
Quote:
From the Daily Beast today, we learn that the Ground Zero mosque developers, who still owe more than $200,000 in back taxes, ...and the mosque developers have applied for a federal grant to get their “cultural bridge” out of the water.
Quote:

According to the Weekly Standard:
The application was submitted under a “community and cultural enhancement” grant program administered by the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corporation (LMDC), which oversaw the $20 billion in federal aid allocated in the wake of 9/11 and is currently doling out millions in remaining taxpayer funds for community development. The redevelopment board declined to comment on the application (as did officials from Park51), citing the still ongoing and confidential process of determining the grant winners.

As opposed as I am to the Ground Zero Park 51 New Cordoba Mosque, any public funding should be cleared marked and labeled as ! ! ! PORK ! ! !

If the project qualifies for the money, then why not?

Because they are dirty muslim terrorists who are out to kill Americans and install Sharia law in the US.
Did I get that right? Is that the company line? Or is it this one?

LOL...one of those, likely.

I still don't know whats the big deal about this Ground Zero Mosque (a misnomer if there ever was one)! That's an issue for the people of NYC to deal with. I couldn't possibly care less about where they build the thing.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

The imam behind this mosque has been known for saying controversial things and writing controversial books.
