Seems the Mosque Imam is accused of being a Slumlord

[CaféAuLait]

Rats, Bedbugs Infest Buildings Owned by Ground Zero Mosque Developer

Residents, many of whom are immigrants and most of whom are working-class Hispanic Catholics, say they have complained about unsanitary conditions for years. The imam, however, has done little to make repairs or exterminate vermin, they claim.

The projects have been plagued by complaints and financial problems. According to the Record, Rauf received public funding through powerful state politicians including Sen. Robert Mendez, former mayor of Union City, and Robert C. Janiszewski, a county executive later convicted of taking bribes.

Page after page of municipal health records examined by The Record show repeated complaints ranging from failure to pick up garbage, to rat and bedbug infestations and no heat and hot water.

Cynthia Balko, 48, of Union City -- a longtime tenant of Rauf’s -- said she’s had to live with rats, leaks and no heat: “I don’t have anything nice to say about the man.”

Seems as if the Imam has other building he does not take care of they are rat and bedbug infested according to his tenants. No, heat, no garbage pick up, Perhaps before investing 100M into yet another building he needs to care for those he already has? He has received over 2 million taxpayer/federal dollars to renovate the buildings and his tenants say they live in squalor for years.

NorthJersey.com: Imam in mosque debate has history of tenant troubles

To understand her perspective, you need to go to a forlorn corner on the Jersey side -- to 22nd Street in Union City and a four-story apartment building owned by Rauf. The locks on a front door are broken and the hallway leading to [Melba] Lopez’s two-bedroom apartment smells of urine.

Looking east on 22nd Street -- back across the Hudson -- the Empire State building pokes the sky. On that side of the river, New York’s mayor speaks of Rauf as a symbol of religious freedom and last week invited the Imam’s wife, Daisy Khan, to dinner at Gracie Mansion to honor the Islamic celebration of Ramadan.

But in Union City, Lopez, a single mother, has another way of describing the man who has time to promote the so-called Ground Zero mosque, but does not seem to have time to answer her complaints about leaks in her toilet.

You do know the Developer they are referring to and the IMAM are 2 different people right.

The Developer is the guy who bought the building, the IMAM is the guy raising the 125 Million for the Cordoba initiative.

If he is, he needs to be prosecuted for it. No doubt about that.

Daisy ( the Imam's wife and the Imam ) are both mentioned in the law suits that have been brought through the years against them for being 'slum lords'. How can you teach, love, peace and assuring your fellow mankind are okay-- when you do stuff like the above? All of which he was sued for far before this Mosque initiative came to light.

What gets me is that if this guy was trying to build a Christian community center and ran a slum like this everyone would be screaming about it. Not to mention the tax dodging imam partner who is trying to raise that money.

I just accuse him of being a target aka "target" ....

NEW YORK (CBS 2) — As the Ground Zero mosque controversy continues to simmer, questions continue about the background of the man who wants to build the $100 million Islamic cultural and religious center.

Mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal has often been reluctant to answer questions.His most recent arrest was in 2005 for assault on a man he met while working as a waiter at Serafina Restaurant, who sublet an apartment from his brother. He reportedly punched the man, breaking his nose and cheekbone and spit on him.

Records showed El-Gamal also had trouble coming up with the $15,000 settlement reached in 2008, and had to pay interest . El-Gamal also has a number of other arrests on his record:

-In 1990, he was arrested in Nassau County and pled guilty to disorderly conduct.

-In 1992, he pled guilty in Nassau to DWI and paid a $350 fine.

-In 1993, he pled guilty in Nassau to attempted petit larceny and paid a $100 fine.

-In 1994, arrested for disorderly conduct in Manhattan.

-In 1998, there was another Manhattan disorderly conduct arrest.

-In 1999, yet another Manhattan disorderly conduct arrest.

A potential problem for the mosque developer is a deposition he gave in the assault case in October 2007. When asked if he was ever convicted or pled guilty to a crime, El-Gamal replied “no.”

Hmmmm. What does Islam say about larceny, DWI, and disorderly conduct?

Probably the same thing Christianity says.

I'm just wondering how a waiter with a temper was able to come up with 5 million dollars. Bankers in our area aren't too keen in lending to perjurors.

 

[Shogun]

WHAT?!? BED BUGS IN NEW YORK CITY?


someone HANG THAT FUCKING SAND ******!

 

[Middleman]

It sounds like this man is very troubled and has an anger problem as well. Now he is under scrutiny because of his unpopular mosque plans, and it looks like his downfall is in the making.
