Ground zero mosque may get evicted

If Gamel didn't raise the money he needed, that's his own damn fault. I don't know the details about the situation, but Gamel's got a semi-shady past as a developer.

I support the mosque's right to exist completely. But if they can't pay for it, they can't have it.
 
does anyone believe they won't pay the back rent, once the dollar amount is agreed on?
 
You didn't answer my question...

Unbelievably low rent in such a place is obviously a sweetheart deal... Do you believe this group should get such a deal or not?

Obviously? Only to you, it would appear.

You don't know much about real estate, do you?

Are you going to answer the question?

I know enough to know that when someone raises the rent preciptously and retroactively raises it, the whole thing smells.

Now, if we aren't talking them retroactively raising the rent, that is an entirely different thing in that I am aware of the high NYC prices.

According to the article, the retroactive rent is not in dispute by the mosque folks... It's the amount...

$881,519 vs. $1.7 million
 
I can't stand the thought of this being built at ground zero BUT.....

Those of you be it racist or simply offended people praising this should think twice. Being able to suddenly demand MORE than the agreed to amount for rent and then have the nerve to attempt to make it retroactive is nothing short of extortion.

This is not good for any of us. This could set a terrible standard that could be applied to other Americans. It's a double edged sword. Yea, to them out. Terrified by the method.

Obviously something in the agreement allowed the increase, since only the amount has been challenged.

I dunno the details other than a quick report on the news. Alarms me none the less.

It did me too. But if they only challenged the amount. Something in the agreement allowed a trigger date.
 
Con Ed has given the Ground Zero mosque an ultimatum: Pay the $1.7 million you owe in back rent, or we’ll terminate your lease and take back our property.
Con Ed and mosque developer Park51 have an unusual, uneasy alliance, sharing ownership of a site slated to be one of the most controversial projects in city history.

Good, this house of satan must be evicted and burnt to the ground. The sooner the better!

And I’ll ask you both the same as of other conservatives, why the animosity toward a mosque? Its location?

That’s idiocy.

Clearly the ‘location controversy’ is a contrivance to mask anti-Islam sentiments.

As with other conservatives, you need to contemplate your hate and ignorance.


Your right, I hate islam. I think it is a evil cult from hell. It has forced the middle east and the med to remain 1,400 years in the past ever since it took it over. It is evil. Whites used to control all this area, but we were forced northwestward into northern Europe because of these bastards. Burn islam!!!

Evil third world pile of crap islam is.:evil:

Islam should get the fuck out of all civilized nations. NOW!

Yeah, they make all those pedophiles in the Catholic Church nervous! :razz:

if it was a Baptist church you would not be coming to their defense would you ?? everybody who reads this thread can see that most of the libbs are making excuses for the Mosque !! libbs are guardians of evil and enemy sympathizers !!

Why would a bunch of bigots and right wingnuts scream bloody murder about a Baptist Church being erected near 'Ground Zero'? You're NOT making much sense, bunky.
 
If I was living/working in a tall building in New York, I'd feel alot more secure if there was a mosque on the top floor.

well good for you its not being built at ground zero and double great for you that your opinion is noted!

Anyways back in the land of laws and zoning boards, they have every right to build there should they jump through all the local board/land laws....

YAY!!! Meaningless arguments
I'm not arguing for or against the building. Just the possible misuse of power. Get it right.

Utilities Company Seeks To Evict Ground Zero Mosque Unless Developer Pays Up | Fox News

Nice scam by the Power company:

But the plan hit a major obstacle in August when Con Ed raised the rent from $2,750 a month, a rate set in 1972, to $47,437 a month, retroactive to July 31, 2008, The Post has learned.

OMG! The power company wants to charge rent higher than was the going rate in 1972?!?!?! What a scam!
