Instead of spending $100 million on a mega-mosque at Ground Zero, why doesn’t the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and financier Sharif El-Gamal take the $100 million and donate it to the Pakistani flood victims?
In doing so, they’d make up for the umma’s indifference to those victims’ plight, and create a great deal of good will — which is what they keep claiming they’re trying to do. And they’d be aiding their fellow Muslims.
It’s a win/win situation!
