First of all, it was originally named Cordova (or Cordoba) which is a city in South Spain where Muslims armies entered the country in 711. As is Islam's usual modus operandi, they conquered Spain from that starting point and killed tons of Christians in the process. They
also converted the biggest church in Cordova into a mosque and made it
Islam's center of power in West Europe.
Secondly, the Imam in charge of the project is either tied to radical Islam or is at least sympathetic. When pressed to say whether Hamas was a terrorist organization he refused to answer the question. So he is either afraid of being killed or is sympathetic. See the quote below:
In 2004, Rauf published a book calling it "What is Right with Islam is What is Right with America." In that book, he argued: The
American political structure is Sharia compliant. For America to score
even higher on the 'Islamic' or 'Sharia compliance' scale, America would
need to do two things. Invite the voices of all religions in shaping
the nations’ practical life, and allow religious communities more leeway
to judge among themselves according to their own laws. He also said “We [Americans] have been an accessory to a lot of
innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense,
Osama bin Laden was made in the USA.”
Thirdly, he lied to the commission that approved the project. He does not own the building and in fact has a long-term lease.
Finally, where is the $100 million coming from? He won't say but I can assure you it will mostly come from places like Saudi Arabia and Iran where surprise, surprise, no places of worship other than mosques are allowed.
Screw tolerance toward this religion of evil and hatred. They can build their project somewhere else although I would be willing to bet if he can't get the symbolic value of putting it at the WTC site his foreign support will dry up.
