GZ mosque weekend updates

And the torture never stops (thanks to Frank Zappa).  While we all enjoyed the weekend, the summer and our families the controversy rolls on.  More about the mosque which you will not find through the MSM can always be found here and the first update is about the Muslim Brotherhood and how they are connected to the mosque.  See the details here...

Next we have this story on financing of the mosque and wouldn't you know, our tax dollars may be paying for this monmument to jihadist supremacy.  Does it get any more surreal?

Also we have this piece about tension between the developer, Sharif el-Gamal and the imam Rauf over media attention.  Very telling on the inner workings between these two charismatic people.  Read it all here: Go to http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/08/awkward-mosque-developer-imam-dont-have-stories-straight-clash-in-front-of-press-over-media-access.html

Here is some background on the developer/owner Sharif el-Gamal.  From waiter to real estate mogul overnight....where did the money come from?  The Muslim Brotherhood, perhaps?

Would it surprise anyone to find out el-Gamal has anger issues?  I wouldn't be surprised at all, from the looks of his picture he strikes me as someone with a short fuse.  He is also known to police, evidentally he had numerous run-ins with the law in the past.  Hmmmm..that could explain a few things.

With all the questions about financing swirling about, this story makes little sense.  Or does it?  How will this play in regards to public financing?  Will this cancel the project altogether due to it being a possible lease violation between him and Con-Ed?

As if 225K in back taxes weren't enough, now it seems he also has 13K in unpaid building violations.  While being urged to be open and transparant about his financilas and other aspects by a visiting imam, el-Gamal sticks to the silent treatment, hoping the opponents will just get tired and go away.

Well, that should be enough to keep you busy for a little while.  The saga continues and we will stay on top of it.
Stay here for weekend updates  the MSM refuses to tell you.
