who the real sponsors and supporters of the Mosque REALLY are.

The smallest population of Muslims live in Manhattan. The largest population of Muslims live in Brooklyn. They would have to drive miles past other mosques and brutal traffic to get there. It has been said there is no property available in Manhattan except the proposed site. However there is almost 20% vacancy rate for space in Manhattan which translates into millions of square feet. Hence there is some question "why here"?

The governor of NY is offering to give them property in an alternate location. We shall see how this shakes out.

I personally subscribe to the camp that believes it is being proposed adjacent to ground zero to make a statement....a slap in the face....disrespect for the event and aftermath of 911...regardless what they are claiming as the reason.

We shall see just how permissive the government will be with an issue that is over whelmingly not supported by we the people. However we also know that has little significance in today's government(s).
