Ground Zero Petition: Stop the Ground Zero Mosque

To Mayor Bloomberg We urge you to stop plans to construct a Mosque and Islamic center 600 feet from Ground Zero. A neighborhood mosque to accommodate a local community would not have caused a stir. But this mammoth plan raises questions that have not been answered: Who is donating the multimillion dollar project and why? There are reports that the group behind the mosque project is involved in the flotillas against Israel. This must be investigated. Is this project part of the well documented campaign to place mosques as signs of Islam's dominance? Claims that this is dedicated to promoting tolerance have been severely undercut by the Imam's refusal to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization. Mayor Bloomberg, you owe the people of New York and the United States a full investigation of these and other related issues before you permit this project to proceed. A hearing by a community board is not an adequate review. When cloistered nuns tried to establish a convent at Auschwitz the world called it inappropriate and the religious community abandoned the site. The sponsors and supporters of this project have shown an intolerant attitude to any criticism. We believe it is imperative that a full investigation take place before this project becomes reality.
