The Man Behind the Mosque
Everyone — the public, media and even the President — has something to say about the controversial proposal to build an Islamic center near Ground Zero. “It’s very surreal,” said Sharif el-Gamal, the man who came up with the idea for an Islamic center near Ground Zero. “It is a very surreal experience to be in the middle of this storm.”

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of a country which allows the terrorist victors to erect a monument/memorial/reminder to one of their most successful en devours at the site of the terrorist act.
-Brian G GatesSome religions are like disease infection, they come when the body defense is weak to break dowm the system. When Europe became too pluralistic and liberal, that is the 'state of any thing goes' to accomodate every one's view. That was when the condition was created for a radical group that thrives in dominance to sneak in 'piusly'. Today America is following suit in the pursuit of radical inclusivism and relativisim that opens the gate. Any time there was a spiritual universalism in the life of Israel God turned back on them. He said that He is a jeolous God. Today He has a jealousy over us as we flirt about with every affection that wants our attention. In such a time God has always raised prophets in Israel to call them back to one God. In America we thank-God that through the TBN and the Day Star voices like that of John Hagee, David Bateen, Coral Readge ministry, Rod Parsely and others are raising prophetic call. As we pray and fast God will bless America. The Battle is his own. When they conquered Israel a dome was built, New York seems to have been conquered and so another dome of rock or gold. As a student of Religion I know that this is not a new thing to Islam Jihad is one of the five Pillars of Islam, it is not considered sinful, it is a Holy duty. When North Africa down to Northern Nigeria was conquered they instituted what they call Califates "Chiefdom" where the Chief Imam becames in charge of the new areas to administer sharia.
-Godson Paul NzehWhat people are not asking him is about his religion. What do they do? What do they believe? Why women aren't allowed in their prayer rooms? Are women allowed in their Mosque? Why are they now calling it a center? There are many questions that should be asked that are not. This man sounds to me to be just trying to make money no matter what is going on or has gone on. I really don't care what roots he came from it's what he calls himself now. No one has asked about how his religion got to where it has today. How it has evolved. Those are the real questions that will let us know about them and if they practice what the teach. Then we would be able to check for ourselves on what they say. Remember us the citizens of the United States. We have libraries,internet,others that have converted to another religion. We have the means to find truth. I want to know what and who they are why they are here what do they expect to accomplish. See if what they say is what they do. My religion says to get to know others and what they say because they will show their true colors in their actions. Words are words what you do says it all. I feel that this man is not being honest. Just with somethings he has said. Which shows me to be cautious.
-LindaI WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS MOSQUE HAS TO BE BUILT RIGHT THERE AT GROUND ZERO WHEN THERE IS SO MANY OTHER PLACES TO BUILD IT I AM A CHRISTIAN WOMAN AND YES I BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRACTICE THERE OWN RELIGION BUT THEY ARE ALSO SUPPOSE TO HAVE RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO LOST THERE LIVES THERE AND THERE FAMILIES THAT TO ME IS LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEM, LORD HELP UP ALL IF THIS SUPPOSE TO BE A RELIGION OF SOME SORT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY HAVE NO HEART OR SOUL, AND THAT IS VERY SAD BECAUSE TODAYS WORLD HAS ENOUGH SADNESS WITHOUT ALL OF THIS ON TOP OF IT.JUST BUILD IT SOMEWHERE ELSE WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL.?
-vanessaBecause Ground Zero is now and forever Dar Islamia owned by Islam they conqured it with two airplanes and the blood of 3000 people that is why. America has left the backdoor unlatched to let the thieves robbers and murderers in at the borders because they are refussing to apply federal laws corecttly and are suing a state for doing the job that the federal government is refussing to do. We have sold out for a place in the History books by making Comizar Obama President and the clown Vice President. WE did it because we bought a lie as truth. Obama is neither a practicing Muslim nor a practicing Christaian he is a Practicing Socialist which is worse because they committ evil acts not because they have been brainwashed in Islam, but because the guy he admired most growing up he called uncle Frank was a practicing Communist .
