Apparently they only have $20,000 in the bank and its going to cost $100 million to build it. They are asking for $5 million dollars of the 9/11 relief money(your taxdollars) to build this thing.

Some freakin' nerve!

I think if they reached out to the gay community, put a gay bar in there with woman bartenders, they could get the cash!

Dumbo will probably give it to them, along with an apology from the US.

Must be a really slow news day as this has a few threads started on the subject already. (not to mention the article you link is from 11/22)

Just to remind the world how "tolerant" and "PC" we are...

After all, we wouldn't want to be branded as "anti Muslim bigots" for not giving them the money...

Obama says there is nothing in the constitution about separation of mosque and state, so take that!
