There are a number of problems with your post.One guys says the wont, the other says they will.
Who are we to believe.
The Imam who says Hamas is not a terrorist group and he would take money from them an Iran. Or the Money guy developer who says the will not?
Well, the developer is the man who a.) had the idea, b.) bought the building, and c.) is in charge of the money.
But, feel free to make up some more reasons not to believe him.
This isn't true. He's not just the developer, he's also a co-chair of the project, and on the paperwork as the chairman of the non-profit they're looking to start (Park51). The Cordoba Iniative no longer has anything to do with Park51.I'm not saying I do not believe him, but he only Bought the property for 4 Million. It is the Imam And his group the Cordoba Initiative that are raising the 125 Million to Build the Property.
From: PARK51FAQ: PARK51
What is Park51?
Park51 is an independent project led by Muslim Americans for all New Yorkers. This project is separate from the Cordoba Initiative and ASMA. 


See previous for why this is incorrect: The Cordoba Initiative no longer has anything to do with the Park51 center, and el-Gamal is very much a fundraiser, if not the primary fundraiser.I am simply pointing out that he is not the one raising the 125 Million dollars to build it. That is being done mainly by the Imam and the Cordoba Initiative. The Imam is on record saying he would take money from Iran. He has said he would not take money from Terrorists, but then he will not call Hamas a Terrorist group.
Not to mention his Organization is named after the site of a great Muslim victory over Christianity. A victory the Imam claims ushered in 300 Years of Peace. Sure there was relative Peace, Because the Muslims had conquered Most of the Christian world that had the ability to Oppose them. It was only a period of Peace if you Converted to Islam. If you did not you were going to die.
This is correct, except for the highlighted part. The reason for naming the building Cordoba House initially was because the "300 years of peace", Muslims, Christians and Jews all lived in peace - no one was killed for not being Muslim.
So No I do not think the Developer is the one in charge of who they will take the 125 Million from. He can say they wont take Money from Iran, but I do not believe he has much say in it.
I've addressed this.
