What a grand idea: a museum that tells the whole story of the bloody conquest and Islamization of the Middle East, North Africa, Persia, India, etc. A museum that tells the truth about Sharia oppression of women and non-Muslims. A museum that finally informs the public about the devastation that jihad and Sharia have wrought upon the world.
Seriously, this museum will do none of that. It will just be a cynical and deceptive whitewash of Islam’s bloody doctrine and history, at the site of one of the most notorious jihad attacks of modern times.
Note also the New York Post’s headline: “Apartments, Islamic museum to be built on site of failed Ground Zero Mosque.” “Failed Ground Zero Mosque”? I can’t tell you how many times, after Pamela Geller and I defeated the Ground Zero Mosque project, that we were contacted by mainstream media reporters asking for comment on the fact that we had “failed,” and that the Park 51 Cultural Center, as the Ground Zero Mosque project organizers called their scheme, had opened despite our efforts.
This is a quintessential example of how deceptive the mainstream media really is. We led protests against the proposed 15-story Islamic mosque, not against their having meetings in the Burlington Coat Factory building that had been extensively damaged on 9/11 and that they had planned to raze in order to build the Ground Zero Mosque; the triumphal mosque was never built, and the project was abandoned. We won. The Ground Zero Mosque organizers then held a few events in the damaged building: this was a tacit admission of defeat, not a victory: the 15-story triumphal mosque was never built, and the “cultural events” they held in the ruined building were no substitute for it. But the media still spun it as a victory for the Ground Zero Mosque project, and indeed, as the opening of the Ground Zero Mosque itself. Only now, several years later, do they admit that the Ground Zero Mosque project failed.
“Apartments, Islamic museum to be built on site of failed Ground Zero Mosque,” by Lois Weiss, New York Post, May 19, 2016:
The developer of the failed Ground Zero Mosque has nailed down “Sharia-compliant financing” for a new, luxury condominium tower and Islamic cultural museum on the same site, he and his banking partners said Wednesday.
The $174 million dollar project features a three-story Islamic cultural museum at 51 Park Place and 48 high-end residential condos in a 43-story tower at 45 Park Place in the Financial District.
The “Sharia-compliant” financing means the deal complies with complex Islamic laws that govern lending and borrowing, including a prohibition against accepting interest or fees for loans.
Manhattan developer Sharif El-Gamal’s 2010 plan for a 15-story Islamic cultural center sparked protests from opponents who dubbed it the “Ground Zero Mosque,” although it was four blocks away.
It was slated to be built on a site that suffered extensive and direct damage on 9/11. As such, that site was part of Ground Zero, and the moniker was apt.
He abandoned that plan in 2011 and there has been little apparent opposition to the smaller museum or the development itself.
The project now includes two multi-story penthouses on the top four floors along with a pool, gym and kids’ playroom.
The deal, finalized Tuesday, was funded by the London branch of Malayan Banking Berhad….

Don Davenport says
Hussein Obambi will be at the ribbon-cutting ceremony…
Polk1970 says
You can bet on that
There is a huge “read between the lines” at work here .
This is what they will call a victory,that after not being allowed to build the Mosque by public opinion,they’re going to come back and call it something else.
Polk1970 says
Think about it:
WHAT could possibly be showcased ?
And to believe there’s no Prayer Room,is to believe in flying pigs with lipstick,and come to think of it is what this is,in the end,
A GROUND ZERO Muslim Victory Site.
Polk1970 says
And WHERE is DiBlasio in this??
Carolyne says
What could be showcased? Well, how about decapitated heads and amputated hands and feet. There could be a room half filled with sand to bury rape victims up to their necks and an adequate supply of rocks to throw at them, sort of a “Hands-on” museum. It’s going to be a high rise, so there will be enough height to throw gays off the roof. And a sound-proof room for beating one’s wives. And a mini slave market where young women are sold. A swimming pool where young boys can be raped by dirty old Muslim men. And of course a room for raping infidel women and children. The possibilities are endless.
LR says
Carolyne,
..The possibilities are endless’…
A lot of performance art possibilities…
Sometimes it’s worth it to come on here, just for the dark humor
Bukkdem Jizheads says
Next door, a gay bar with transvestite musical acts, and on the other side, a pet store with dog grooming. Just past that a barbecue joint.
Lynette says
Don’t forget a “meccaDonalds” selling bacon and ham burgers. Plus Victoria’s Secret selling sexy lingerie for musliminas to wear under those black burqas for their bestial loving husbands to help them with their lustily sexually attraction to the nearest camel, goat, sheep or whatever turns them on.
Christianblood says
A memorial park commemorating the 3000 dead US civilians should have been built there instead.
This museum/mosque will only be a huge sign of victory for islam and its barbaric followers. US people should protest this and even riot if necessary!
Lynette says
I agree with your comment. Moslums will turn this into a mosque if not now in a few months/years time. From the first day of opening teaching hatred for the West and hatred for Jews, and non moslums. Will start talking about a Victory evermore and try to change the history. islam should NEVER be permitted within 5 miles of that area and the area should be called Victory Against Islam Square or something else but plainly a Victory against islam and definitely in rememberance of those who were killed by cowardly depraved scum.
Rosewood11 says
I hope they plan to include pictures of all their “handiwork” in Syria, Africa, etc. so all those attending this museum of horror can see the truth about the “religion of peace”!!! But then, who am I kidding!?! Shut ’em down, Ms. Geller!!!!!!!!!!
ploome says
This islamic museum will have offices and meeting hall where people will spontaneously pray….
Polk1970 says
TAQQIA
Jes says
Wow what an insult to those who died in the 911 attacks! How can one stop this building from happening?
Georg says
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of those, particularly Robert and Pamela, who took it upon themselves to defeat the Victory Mosque. It’s inspiring to see such moral clarity and bravery– particularly when it succeeds!
mortimer says
Victory museum. Death to America.
Alexius Comnenus says
What the Americans do? Nothing. They want to be damn political correct.
When they will care about this nation, than they will realize what they lost.
Gungadin says
Too long Americans have sat back and let the Left do what they damn well please. I think there is a movement in America to take America back from all the PC BS we’ve swallowed over the years.
When it has come to a point in time where those running for president are “Killary” and her extreme leftist agenda and her deep pockets — or a declared Socialist’s agenda with his brainless followers, our only “salvation” is the election of Trump to help stop the continued sinking of this great country of ours……GO TRUMP 2016
Lynette says
And so say all of us!
Kuffar says
What can be built up, can be burned down…
Lizzy says
An eye for an eye…..a concept favoured by muslims, so they can’t complain.
Walter Sieruk says
This of part of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which the Muslim belief that lying , deception and the spreading and telling of falsehoods is a good thing to do as long as its done for the advancement of Islam. The propagandists for Islam for Islam with their Taqiyya never stop in the Islamic agenda to spread Islam. By using the stealth jihad of half -truth, deception , and outright lying . For Muslim to reach is goal takes much gall. They have much of It. One of extremity blatant lies for Islam is the statement is the word Islam means “peace.” So is needs to known that it’s a good idea not to take at face value the claim that the word Islam means “peace.” For example, the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.” It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change. The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign.
Shmued B Dovid says
The muslim definition of ‘peace’ is that ‘peace’ allowed under sharia. The muslim definition of ‘terrorism’ is that as defined under sharia. No muslim according to the OIC Cairo Conference of 1990 is allowed to , or in any way authorised to detract from these definitions. So, their peace and their terrorism does not relate to the Englsih Dictionary.
Bob says
The ‘peace’ that Churchill once called “The peace of the graveyard.”
Angemon says
The headline reads “failed Ground Zero Mosque”. Why isn’t this journalist living up to her own standards? Either call it the “Ground Zero Mosque” or don’t, but don’t go calling it “Ground Zero Mosque” in the headline only to, a few paragraphs later, imply it’s an erroneous designation.
Muzzi Rahman says
Hopefully the problem is quickly done . We can not conclude an issue that is uncertain. Thanks for information.
vivienne Havalant-leijonhufvud says
Well US you better hope Trump dumps this stupid idea. How insulting is this?
Polk1970 says
Let you French lead the wasy into slavery ,NO THANKS.
You are GOOD at SURRENDERING.
Everytime,Everywhere.
How long did the “vaunted French army last against Hitler?
The STARVING JEWS of the Warsaw Ghetto,with almost no weapons lasted LONGER than the French Army
SIT DOWN
SHUT UP
Worry about YOUR NO-GO ZONES.
Polk1970 says
And NOT about Trump,who will make sure YOUR PROBLEMS don’t become America’s Problems.
Carolyne says
How insulting is this? Vivienne, the more insulting, the better.
Did you know that only French tanks have back-up lights?
KnowThyEnemy says
I am not sure I would be this harsh on New York Post. They often report news, and publish articles, that none of the left leaning PC media outlets (e.g New York Times) do. In fact I am not the least surprised that it is NY Post who is calling the Ground Zero mosque a failed project.
Lizzy says
These chaps are determined to rub American noses in the dirt.
Do not allow it to go ahead US.
Judi says
Robert and Pamela need to organise the same type of rallies that defeated it in 2010.
Hope says
Yes, and I would love to attend any rally or protest that they can organize.
Gungadin says
DITTO !!

It’s like rubbing salt in the wound.
pennant8 says
This latest proposal will never be built. These grifters are just working another scam. BTW, is the Dakota Bar still next door? I hope so.
Singh the Sikh says
The bastards never give up. They keep clawing away until they prevail. Islamic museum my arse. It’s a mosque in disguise initially; in time to come all pretence of a museum will be given up and a fully-fledged mosque will emerge as a symbol of Islamic triumphalism and conquest to further cement victory on western soil – many Muslims consider the 9/11 atrocity a glorious event; victory on US soil. Americans have forgotten 9/11, Muslims haven’t. They continue to wage war/jihad. What an insult to the memories of the innocent victims. American leaders who are allowing this to happen are traitors.
Hope says
Sadly, Singh, I believe you are correct.
Resist says
Really really shocking. Come on new yorkers, please, fight in the name of all who perished in islamist attacks!!!
linnte says
I’d like to know who OWNS this property! They are traitors!
darshan says
It should be prevented at all costs. File a case in US Courts and lead protest march and if possible sit on hunger strike at the site. It should be against the current Democrats estabilisment which is promoting jihad and the banners and template should specifically blame democrats for this injustice.
It should hit them hard and this being election time it will not go unnoticed. And even if they do not act they will still end up losing some votes. And call like minded Republican and Hollywood star if possible to support or speak a few words.
Marty says
I would have expected better from the US, even with the current President.
The Saudis committed an act of war against the US, as leader of the West.
They remain unpunished & now sunni mohammedans are being given
the added pleasure of spitting on the victims of that vile ideology.
In Europe, we’ve given up.
Now the US is appeasing.
Eventually, Australia will be the only uncontaminated remnant of Western
civilisation.
Mac says
The objective to turn this building into a mosque hasn’t changed. The developers are just playing a longer game. Once this centre is established, prayer rooms will be allocated. The “need” for more prayer rooms will then follow and before you know it….
Francis Merde says
If you’ve ever read Trump’s Art of the Deal, then you’d realize that zoning laws for everything in NYC are ridiculously strict and complicated. Some places even require the purchase of air rights (That’s right, you even need to zone for the space that exists above the building itself). Good luck with that.
Carolyne says
But concessions are always made for Islam.
Southern says
A victory mosque by any other name is still a victory mosque.
RM says
This is none other than the consecration of islam and the deaths of 3000 9/11 victims by islamic terrorist by building a so called museum at the site of The worst terrorist attack in US history. Another failure by the US government and more evidence of the governments appeasement and surrender to the most evil ideology in world history.
Francis Merde says
LOL, that building still looks like shit. No one will visit there.
Kathrine MacNeill says
This seems like a kick in the face to all the people who died there that day in the name of islam.
I’m shocked that they allowed it to go through.
Lynette says
Yes, plenty of it to cover every inch of the area! No islamic anything to desecrate those who were murdered by depraved evil moslums!!!
krishna says
Terrorists did that act in the US soil; took flight training in the US; they used US flights; razed US building; 3000+ killed were US citizens; everything US except the persons who were Islamists owing their allegiance to Arab. Very same people who forget the gruesome acts of terrorists were US politicians. How is the logical build up
Elizabeth says
Right next to this ‘death monument’ can be a really good deli serving barbecue pork, pigs knuckles, pork wineries, pork sausage links, pulled pork, pork chops, deep batter-fried pork, chop suey with pork, etc. Let the aromas fill the air so the visitors will have something yummy to eat.
Rosewood11 says
Back when this was going to be a mosque, Greg Gutfeld suggested putting in a gay bar next door. He suggested it be called “Suspicious Packages” and that it serve 72 virgin drinks!!!
