"It will also serve as a major platform for amplifying the silent voice of the majority of Muslims who have nothing to do with extremist ideologies. It will counter the extremist momentum."

probably not going to happen. I read in the paper today that the group who wants to build it overstated their assets. they have under $1M in assets. Its going to cost about $100M to build it. I dont think that is going to fly with a lender.

Yes, that may be their intent but do you think anyone is gonna consider it that considering the date and the location?

because the project is being run by the Port Authority of NY & NJ who own the land that a real estate developer, Larry Silverstein, leases from them. The administration on the Port Authority is so fucked up it took them 5+ years just to get a design completed.
2 buildings have been completed at the site and the "Freedom Tower" is finally going up. its now a steel structure sticking out of the hole at about 15 stories.

it wasnt just about rebuilding but that was the gist. it was a while ago.
really though, the site looks exactly the same as it did a decade ago. not much effort as far as rebuilding. the hole is getting bigger, thats about it. they are still finding pieces of bone on top of buildings surrounding the site.

all muslims are terrorists....


does it really matter? bad date, in bad taste but i am pretty sure it these people would be against what happened in 2001. it is a shame it has taken this long to rebuilt ground zero though. not for lack of effort though everytime i go by it there are a good 900-1500 people working on it.

No, it doesn't really matter but you would think that with the known opinion of a fair amount of Americans... especially New Yorkers, about what happened that day they would have picked a different date. I have no problem with where it is but that coupled with the potential opening date just CAN come across as a giant "fuck you"

not only that but the Deutsche Bank building that was destroyed in the attack is still standing. it has taken them all this time to get it down to about 20+ stories. again, another project being run by NY state. its coming down verrrrry slowly. The company I used to work for is building a W Hotel directly across the street from the building.

I'm surprised at how many people are taking this so bad. Nazi's were christian, and I don't think you'd be offended by replacing the concentration camps with a church. It's not like a mosque is a terrorist training center.

Look at the date they are opening and the proximity to the site. Like someone said, it would be like the American military creating a Nuclear research facility in Hiroshima right next to the bridge they tried to destroy.

I don't really agree with it I'm just saying people are getting really mixed up.

The nuke is what killed the japanese, the terrorists killed americans. Muslims are not terrorists, but some terrorists are muslim, and some are christian. It's not the same.

i agree. people need to step out of their fucking anti-terrorist right wing bunkers and relize that only a small amount if muslims are terorists, and they are not even accepted by the muslim community. grow up people, what happened 9 years ago was unfortunate. but try and catch up to the real world now, not all muslims are bad. most of them arent bad.

I don't think you realize the situation that the world is in. Do you know how fucking dangerous the terrorists in afghanistan are? They're fucking everywhere dude, and their in the united states. Shit's all over youtube, I'm surprised the government hasn't gotten on top of things and taken all that stuff off youtube. Usually information like this doesn't get out, but it has and people need to be aware that anywhere, any second, there could be a terrorist attack. The government definitely needs to step it up a notch and take things like communication systems and the internet into their hands - its the only way to protect the great nation of america.

I couldn't give a shit how many terrorists are muslims, its still a fucking disgusting religion. Countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, and any others that use sharia law are terrible places.

So you assume islam = terrorism. Seriously man, stop watching sensationalist news. Are you fucking kidding me about the government taking over communication systems? Why don't you just wipe your ass with the bill of rights while you're at it. You are why our society sucks.

Yeah lets tolerate stoning women to death for getting raped, forcing women to wear full veils the entire time and treating them like dogs, condeming homosexuals to death, grown men marrying/raping 12 year old girls and throwing acid on girls who dare to go to school.

Different cultures. Every religion in the world has been the cause of far worse at some point if not currently. Except maybe Buddhism. But honestly I bet even Buddhism has blood on its hands.

That's not the religion. That's a tyrannical government's poor interpretation of the religion. It goes right back to the assumption that Islam = terrorism.

"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)," (4:34).


When the sacred months have passed away, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer [become believers] and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them (9:5)

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah...And the Jews say Ezra is the son of God;  and the Christians say Christ is the son of God; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; Allah's curse be on them; how they are turned away!" (Koran 9:29-30) 


FIGHT THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, NOR FOLLOW THE RELIGION OF TRUTH, OUT OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE BOOK [Christians and Jews], until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and THEY ARE IN A STATE OF SUBJECTION. (9:29)

As for those who disbelieve in Our communications, We shall make them enter fire; so oft as their skins are thoroughly burned, We will change them for other skins, that they may taste the punishment (4:56)

4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. (Haleem, emphasis added)

And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest]. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 205).
