Would Bloomberg or the City of New York or Obama - ever go to these lengths to promote any other "religion" or socio-political "ism" like Mohammadenism?
They want to make this Ground Zero project "work: far beyond any logical reasoning AND contrary to at least 70% of America. Including New Yorkers who DO NOT WANT this project to take place!
While they REFUSE to permit - 10-years now - let alone help rebuild a nearby Christian church, they are wheeling and dealing and stretching rules to make the Ground Zero project work for Moslem Sharia.
Islam and Sharia have become protected with AFFIRMATIVE ACTION STATUS?!
WHY????
OTHER THAN BECAUSE CORRUPT OBA-HUSSEIN AND HIS MINIONS WANT IT THAT WAY? TO BUILD THEIR ISLAMIC CALIPHATE.
DO YOU?
DO YOU THINK HE CARES WHAT YOU WANT? HAS HE EVER LISTENED TO WHAT "YOU THE PEOPLE" WANT?
MAKE IT SHOW IN NOVEMBER!!!
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Muslim center planned near the site of the World Trade Center attack could qualify for tax-free financing, a spokesman for City Comptroller John Liu said on Friday, and Liu is willing to consider approving the public subsidy.
The Democratic comptroller's spokesman, Scott Sieber, said Liu supported the project. The center has sparked an intense debate over U.S. religious freedoms and the sanctity of the Trade Center site, where nearly 3,000 perished in the September 11, 2001 attack.
"If it turns out to be financially feasible and if they can demonstrate an ability to pay off the bonds and comply with the laws concerning tax-exempt financing, we'd certainly consider it," Sieber told Reuters.
Spokesmen for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor David Paterson and the Islamic center and were not immediately available.
The proposed center, two blocks from the Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, has caused a split between people who lost relatives and friends in the attack, as well as conservative politicians, and those who support the project. Among those who support it are the mayor, civic and religious groups, and some families of victims.
The mosque's backers hope to raise a total of $70 million in tax-exempt debt to build the center, according to the New York Times. Tax laws allow such funding for religiously affiliated non-profits if they can prove the facility will benefit the general public and their religious activities are funded separately.
The bonds could be issued through a local development corporation created for this purpose, experts said.
The Islamic center would have to repay the bonds, which likely would be less expensive than taxable debt.
New York City's Industrial Development Authority could not issue debt for the center because the state civic facilities law, which governed this type of financing for non-profits, was allowed to expire about two years ago.

At what point did Islam recieve a Religious Status??? The Constitution was created at the very Zenith of Christianiy by Christians..Christianity was considered by the Civilized World to be the only Religion...The clause about Freedom of Religion in the Constitution was installed to make it Illegal for Catholic & Proestants to fight in America. (Catholic/Protestant wars in Europe had been Devastating.)Any other practice eg; Voodoo, Islam, Budhism & etc. was considered Heathenistic or a Cult...Our Supreme Court has certainly failed "We the People" Americans & caused much unhappiness & turmoil.
