Hamas Says Mosque Must Be Built

I hope Bloomberg is really proud that he is in synch with hamas regarding the ground zero islamic supremacist mosque.

Haaretz:
Hamas leader Zahar: Muslims must build mosque near Ground Zero

Hamas leader in Gaza says Muslims have to build everywhere so that their followers can pray, as do Jews and Christians.


Hamas leader Mahmoud a-Zahar on Monday said Muslims must build a mosque near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks, a project opposed by U.S. conservatives and many New Yorkers.

Muslims have to build everywhere so that followers can pray, just like Christians and Jews build their places of worship, Zahar said in an interview on Aaron Klein Investigative Radio on WABC-AM.

Earlier this month, a New York city agency cleared the way for construction of a Muslim cultural center, which will include a prayer room, two blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks, popularly known as “Ground Zero.”

The center is a project of the Cordoba Initiative, an advocacy group that promotes improved relations between Islam and the West. The group didn’t respond to Zahar’s comments.

Zahar is a co-founder of Hamas and its chief on the Gaza Strip.

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer says Zahar’s comments don’t carry any weight because Hamas is a terrorist organization. Schumer hasn’t taken a stand on the mosque.

Rep. Peter King, who opposes the mosque, says he won’t respond to Hamas.
