I'm against a mosque in that location ...

... if it means that there would be less space for my idea for what should (FINALLY, NINE FRIGGIN' YEARS LATER) be built at ground zero:

Two giant parking lots that are solely devoted to hosting this:

NEVER FORGET.

Quote
    The second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News -- has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to the imam planning to build a Muslim community center and "mosque" near Ground Zero in Manhattan, says a report from Yahoo!News.

Quote
Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who owns seven percent of News Corp., "has directly funded [Imam Feisal Abdul] Rauf's projects to the tune of more than $300,000"... Prince Al-Waleed's personal charity, the Kingdom Foundation, donated $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow, a project sponsored by two of Rauf's initiatives, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, which is building the Manhattan mosque.


Quote
...As none other than Rupert Murdoch's New York Post reported last May, the Kingdom Foundation, al-Waleed's personal charity, has donated a total of $305,000 to Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow....Al-Waleed owns a 7 percent, $2.3 billion stake in News Corporation. Likewise, News Corporation owns a 9 percent, $70 million stake — purchased in February — in Rotana, Al-Waleed's Saudi media conglomerate. Put another way: Rupert Murdoch and Fox News are in business, to the tune of billions of dollars, with one of the "Terror Mosque Imam's" principal patrons.


So the question is....

WHY DOES FOX NEWS HATE AMERICA?

They talked about that on Jon Stewert last night.  Strange bedfellows, indeed.  I would love to see a full list of the people who are funding this venture.  Of course, it's very possible I really don't want to know...

You, Hugo Chavez, and Joseph Stalin can take his shares away from him to make things right.

The "put another way part" is a GIANT STRETCH that only an idiot would take at face value.

Let em build.  The free market will take care of it...

Oh... perhaps it already has.

The construction workers of Ground Zero seem to be saying, if you want outreach, grab a shovel and help us rebuild as we have helped you.

It seems to me that turning an abandoned building into a community center is doing just that.  :dunno:

I think calling it a community center is more form over function.  I doubt the Jews in lower Manhattan will be lining up to go into that place, and even if you're not Jewish no one other than Muslims and will be able to bare the smell of the building anyways (stereotyping joke  :opcat:).

Like I said, they can go ahead and build it (if you can find someone do it).  It's just a bad idea, whether you like it or not. 

They have JCC's all over New York.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

"sugar dick,"

Fox News has been using their fear mongering tactics on this story, proclaiming the center to being funded by terrorists.  One of those "terrorists" is the 2nd largest stockholder in their company, and a business partner with their boss.  

Sounds like a big  :facepalm: for Fox News.   :lol:

Sounds like a pretty good business decision by Fox News to me. If this thing gets built, it makes a good story for all of their hosts to get outraged on the air about.

Are you trying to say that we can't trust Muslims, even the supposedly moderate? I am guessing Murdock and News Corp knew nothing about Al-Waleed's donations.

NewsCorp also owns the Wall Street Journal and either MySpace or Facebook (can't remember which one)  :ohno:

The point is, you can't control who buys your stock and you certaintly can't control who your shareholders donate money to.

.....just like you can't control properly zoned private land from being purchased and a Mosque constructed.

I think we are all on the same page now.  Mods, let's lock this thread up.  TIA.

I'm wondering, coincidentally, whether MSNBC has a stake in the Obama presidency.

Let's see.... They are owned by GE, which serves to make big bank with the health care bill.  Should cap and tax go through, even more bank.

GE CEOs making big contributions to Obama.

I'm sure there is no bias or reasoning for that either....

Nobody makes large contributions to any politician without expecting something in return. I'm not sure what your point is.
