The New York Post will print ANYTHING to keep "Ground Zero Mosque" in the news

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Not only the New York Post but also other media, like Fox News are attempting to keep this story in front of uninformed readers to justify our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's supposed to remind their audiences of why we invaded the two countries. These media won't be satisfied until they have created a full-blown religious war.

Mosque developer has shoddy building record

By TOM TOPOUSIS and MATTHEW NESTEL

The developer behind the planned Ground Zero mosque already has a lousy record with the city Buildings Department -- racking up $24,650 in fines for safety and construction violations at a Washington Heights apartment building that his firm owns.

The violations involve some of the department's more serious charges, from cracks running the height of the six-story, brick walk-up to blocked exits and fire escapes, falling mortar and an unstable chimney, city records show.

"Every time it rains, I set a pan on my bed and another one on the floor," said Don McCants, 61, a truck driver and longtime tenant of the building owned by mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal and his firm, Soho Properties. It's no drip, drip, drip, either," he lamented. "It comes down fast."

Since 2008, there have been 21 code violations at the building at 504 W. 159th St., which El-Gamal and Soho Properties purchased the previous year. Of these, nine violations are still open, and $19,500 in fines are unpaid.

1. Safety is so partisan

3. Use of the inaccurate term "Ground Zero Mosque" is partisan.

The safety article is just another chance to use the phrase.

5. Well if the center that they are going to build will start cracking and leaking immediately

then why the complaint about it being built. They should be happy that those damn Muslims will be praying in puddles in the building. :sarcasm:

Really now. Why compare a stupid Christian with a smart Muslim? A dumb Christian will still be stupid. They are comparing a center that will be built vs a building that they bought just a couple of years ago? And it had 21 violations and it is down to 9 violations?
