Why Don’t The 15 Floors Add Up?

How many floors does Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf need for the mosque portion of this triumphal Islamic command center planned for the two building sites at 45-47 Park Place in New York City? Think about it: maybe 2 floors for the mosque itself and related offices. A 3rd floor for the swimming pool, a 4th for the 500 seat auditorium, a 5th for the halal restaurant and halal culinary school, a 6th for the art studios, the childcare center and library, a 7th for the gym and basketball court. Add an 8th floor for miscellaneous storage and offices. And then add a 9th floor for the September 11 memorial, an after-thought that was recently added to the Imam’s plan, although that may in fact be more of a room off to one side than a whole floor.

That leaves six mystery floors empty - or dedicated to other activities. Six floors - that’s a lot of offices, a lot of employees, maybe more than half of the 150 full-time and 500 part-time jobs the Imam says he’ll bring to Lower Manhattan. What are Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s plans for those six mystery floors?

I heard on Hannity tonight that there is already a mosque only two blocks away from the Cordoba site. Seems that the only reason to build the new mosque is to bring numbers of Muslims to that particular area - and for what purpose?

An arsenal perhaps?

I think that when it comes to playing the Islamic great game, they could leave the floors empty and it would not matter to them. The important thing being that the building stands as a 15 story symbol of Islamic supremacy over the Infidel.

I thank you for your blog as well.. along with, it seems, members of the local foot fetish society!

Heh..!!!

I know -- the spam's gotten so bad I have to shut off comments after three entries. Time to update (or change) my blogging software.
