    No I didn't post this last week but its ok to be wrong. But I do wonder why you never address the content of a post.

    I thought you were interested in who was funding the mosque, the one that evoked so much hate.

    Lyrics from the 70s... Nothing's changed

    Inflammable material is planted in my head
    It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead
    Their solutions are our problems
    They put up the wall
    On each side time and prime us
    And make sure we get fuck all
    They play their games of power
    They mark and cut the pack
    They deal us to the bottom
    But what do they put back?

    [Chorus:]
    Don't believe them
    Don't believe them
    Don't be bitten twice
    You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
    Suss suspect device

    They take away our freedom
    In the name of liberty

    Why don't they all just clear off
    Why won't they let us be
    They make us feel indebted
    For saving us from hell
    And then they put us through it
    It's time the bastards fell

    [Chorus]

    Don't believe them
    Don't believe them
    Question everything you're told
    Just take a look around you
    At the bitterness and spite

    Why can't we take over and try to put it right

    [Chorus]

    We're a suspect device if we do what we're told
    But a suspect device can score an own goal
    I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse
    You're a suspect device they know they can't refuse
    We're gonna blow up in their face.

    Significance of the name Cordoba:in the Middle Ages, Cordoba, Spain, was capital of an Islamic caliphate, known for its high culture, huge libraries, and tolerance of the Jews - at a price: Jews enjoyed the protection of the Islamic government by paying a tax as Dhimmis, non-Muslims in a Muslim land. Failure to pay was a death offense. Payment meant accepting the status of subservience. Some have seen Rauf's use of the name Cordoba as an indication of his hidden intent to make Americans Dhimmis in some fashion. The Ground Zero Mosque project Cordoba House was quickly re-named Park51 when the significance of Cordoba became known
    First, how can a little outfit like the Cordoba Initiative with its zero revenue and $18,255 assets in 2008 afford a $100-150 million building? Answer: It can't.
    .
    The old Burlington Coat factory property was purchased by SME Acquisitions Corporation, c/o SOHO Properties LLC, 552 Broadway, Suite 6N, New York, NY
    for $4.85 million in cash for the Park Place site in July, 2009. SOHO will not reveal the source of the money on advice of their attorneys, but Imam Rauf is thought to be an investor, perhaps through the Cordoba Initiative.

    Even so, the developers bought only half the Mosque site on Park Place. The CEO of SOHO Properties, Sharif El-Gamal, bought the building at 45-47 Park Place in 2009, but only obtained a lease on Con Ed's 49-51 Park Place. Soho Properties told officials and the public that it owns the entire parcel. El-Gamal said the lease was equivalent to ownership. Any potential sale by Con Ed faces a review by the state Public Service Commission. And ConEd's appraisal looks like an additional $10 million to $20 million price tag will be tacked on to the developer's land cost.

    Nevertheless, El-Gamal is adamant about going ahead with the project despite ownership problems and feeble fundraising results. Just $200 in donations has come in as of August 2010, according to Ameena Meer, head of Muslims for Peace, the nonprofit accepting the contributions.

    El-Gamal expects the new Islamic center to be completed and unveiled on September 11, 2011.

    Where did the $4.85 million in cash come from?

    I know, Ive got what is known as a memory. I find it quite handy. So now we've cleared that up, shall we get back to the point in hand.

    Before the mainstream media dropped this as a talking point you were keen to know where the money came from.

    So now you know, why has it all gone quite?
