As everyone reading LL knows, I am NOT happy about the Park51 project at Ground Zero. Not one bit. I feel it is disrespectful. New York City already has a bunch of other mosques, why does there need to be yet another one? Imam Rauf isn't even claiming it's because his congregation is getting too big. Nope. It's to foster "tolerance". Really? How about tolerance for this nation's pain? Even Pope John Paul II told some Benedictine nuns to vacate a building they had rented years ago on the outskirts of the ruins of Auschwitz because people were getting upset. Yes, they wanted to pray for the souls of the people who were murdered there, but there were a lot of people who felt they were co-opting the pain of the Jews. I agree with the Pope on that ruling, and I'm Catholic. He was right. The intentions might indeed be good, but their mere presence caused more harm than any good intentions they hoped to show.
Which leads me back to Park51. Now that people are good and pissed off about it, Imam Rauf has to go around and explain himself? And paid for by the US government, excuse me, the US taxpayers? Listen Rauf, you have $100 million in investments in this place but refuse to identify your backers. How about asking them for money, since they seem to have a lot of it? Are you afraid the American public will not be pleased if they know who it is? I mean, I'm sure it's all on the up and up. After all, your dalliances with the extremist Turkish group who tried to break the Israeli blockade was just trivial. I'm sure they didn't give you any money. Or any other group that hates Americans.
Why are MY tax dollars going to pay for some guy to go around the world and explain his disrespectful venture? I hope Greg Gutfeld succeeds in building a gay bar next door to it. I would *heart*
