I'm glad I could bring you some joy today :)

I'm sure they won't mind then when Greg Gutfeld opens up
a gay bar next door then.

Seems like often when I ask for evidence for something you've claimed you say something like "coming soon" and then it doesn't ever happen. If you didn't see any evidence than you shouldn't have made the claim in the first place.

I'll decide what I should and shouldn't do, thank you.

I have provided evidence, and sometimes retro, but you dismiss it,
because you refuse to believe it. (or make some other excuse)
I can't help you with that part.

No evidence that they "want to exploit death and destruction".

how about this little tidbit for now.

The imam says he supports Hamas.
Can you believe that one?
Do you support them?
If so I guess that one we'll have to be dismissed.

"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America." - George Bush

Photo shows former WTC location "ground zero" and the proposed 13- story mega mosque location as represented by the red square.

For that the former Burlington Coat Factory building was close enough to be damaged when a hijacked plane's landing-gear assembly crashed through the roof, it can indeed considered "ground zero".

NEW YORK – The imam behind a proposal to build a 13-story Islamic cultural center near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks refuses to condemn violent jihad groups as terrorists.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, head of the Cordoba Initiative, which seeks to construct the massive center, repeatedly refused on-air to affirm the U.S. designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization or call the Muslim Brotherhood extremists.

The Brotherhood openly seeks to spread Islam around the world, while Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction and is responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shootings and rocket attacks aimed at Jewish civilian population centers.

Rauf was speaking in a live interview with WND senior reporter Aaron Klein, who hosts a show on New York's WABC Radio.

Klein asked Rauf on his show whether the imam agrees with the State Department's designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization.

"I'm not a politician," replied Rauf. "I try to avoid the issues. The issue of terrorism is a very complex question. ... I'm a bridge builder. I define my work as a bridge builder. I do not want to be placed, nor do I accept to be placed in a position of being put in a position where I am the target of one side or another."

Klein pointed out Hamas attacks have targeted civilians and asked Rauf again whether that qualifies to define Hamas as terrorists.

Rauf stated: "The targeting of civilians is wrong. It is a sin in our religion. Whoever does it, targeting civilians is wrong. I am a supporter of the state of Israel. ... I will not allow anybody to put me in a position where I am seen by any party in the world as an adversary."

When Klein persisted in asking about Hamas, Rauf charged the radio host of "accus[ing] me of things. You are killing the messenger."

"You are trying to bring down the person who is trying to build security between our country and our faith tradition," said Rauf. "My urge to you. I have worked for the law-enforcement agencies."

Klein interrupted, stating, "And yet you refuse to tell me Hamas is a terror organization."

The WABC host asked Rauf whether the Muslim Brotherhood is an extremist group. "I have nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. My father was never a member of the Muslim Brotherhood," retorted Rauf.

Klein, however, had not accused Rauf or his family of being involved with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Klein asked the imam who he believes was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks.

"There's no doubt," stated Rauf. "The general perception all over the world has it was created by people who were sympathetic to Osama bin Laden. Whether they were part of the killer group or not, these are details that need to be left to the law-enforcement experts."

Rauf has been on record several times as blaming U.S. policies for the Sept. 11 attacks. He has been quoted refusing to admit Muslims carried out the attacks.

Referring to the Sept. 11 attacks, Rauf told CNN, "U.S. policies were an accessory to the crime that happened. We (the U.S.) have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. Osama bin Laden was made in the USA."

Madeline Brooks, a reporter who attended a 2010 sermon by Rauf, quoted the Islamic leader as stating that "some people say it was Muslims who attacked on 9/11."

Rauf wants to build a $100 million, 13-story Islamic cultural center and mosque near the corner of Park Place and West Broadway – about two blocks from the area known as Ground Zero.

Read whatever you want into it.

I see where you're confusion is now. Those are different people than the ones building the community center. In fact it looks like each of those links are talking about different people then the next one..
