Apartments, Islamic museum to be built on site of failed Ground Zero Mosque

By Lois Weiss

The developer of the failed Ground Zero Mosque has nailed down “Sharia-compliant financing” for a new, luxury condominium tower and Islamic cultural museum on the same site, he and his banking partners said Wednesday.

The $174 million dollar project features a three-story Islamic cultural museum at 51 Park Place and 48 high-end residential condos in a 43-story tower at 45 Park Place in the Financial District.

The “Sharia-compliant” financing means the deal complies with complex Islamic laws that govern lending and borrowing, including a prohibition against accepting interest or fees for loans.

Manhattan developer Sharif El-Gamal’s 2010 plan for a 15-story Islamic cultural center sparked protests from opponents who dubbed it the “Ground Zero Mosque,” although it was four blocks away.

He abandoned that plan in 2011 and there has been little apparent opposition to the smaller museum or the development itself.

The project now includes two multi-story penthouses on the top four floors along with a pool, gym and kids’ playroom.

The deal, finalized Tuesday, was funded by the London branch of Malayan Banking Berhad.

The project was designed by Michel Abboud of SOMA Architects, along with Ismael Leyva Architects, and will include a 2,821 square-foot public plaza, green space and a retail shop.

Why Sharia law.. anything?

Why in the USA?
It spread from Seattle Washington, pretty quick, less than a year.(2 threads on it)

Why New York?

Why near ground zero?

Cordoba House!

Park51 was to be a 13-story Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan including a "Muslim community center and a mosque." The developers hoped to promote an interfaith dialogue within the greater community. Wikipedia

Cordoba: The Chrysler Cordoba was an intermediate personal luxury coupe sold by Chrysler in North America from 1975–1983. It was the company's first model produced specifically for the personal luxury market and the first Chrysler-branded vehicle that was smaller than full-size.

I have no complaint with people of a given faith, making sure to abide by it when they borrow money.

Just because THEY feel they have to be "Sharia compliant," doesn't mean anyone else does.

There is a long history of Christians and others ALSO requiring their adherents to live according to their religion in all aspects of life. It would be decidedly Anti-American to tell them that they can't, only that they can't make non-adherents do so as well.
