There was no immediate sign of the fiery cataclysm that erupted overhead starting at 8:46. But out of a baby-blue sky suddenly stained with smoke, a plane’s landing-gear assembly the size of a World War II torpedo crashed through the roof and down through two empty selling floors of the Burlington Coat Factory.
The Sept. 11, 2001, attack killed 2,752 people downtown and doomed the five-story building at 45 Park Place, two blocks north of the World Trade Center. The store remained abandoned for the next eight years, one of the last undeveloped downtown properties damaged in the attack.
But for months now, out of the public eye, an iron gate rises every Friday afternoon, and with the outside rumblings of construction at ground zero as a backdrop, hundreds of Muslims crowd inside, facing Mecca in prayer and listening to their imam read in Arabic from the Koran.
disgusting whats going on, especially so close to the 9-11 site
“we’re more than great coats”
Sick
This way they can say “kaddish” for their “kedoshim” who died al-kiddush-allah
“Have you murdered and also inherited?”
so now the mamzayrim yemach sh’mom can pray toward ground zero as opposed to drecca!?!??
I didn’t see any shuls rushing in to rent the space so why shouldn’t the mosque be allowed to rent. We are a long way from prohibiting muslims, litvashe yiddin or budhists from having their own facilities for prayer.
Boy its good the City Council passed the law that from 2026, they wont be able to hide in NYC behind metal roll down gates.
I have tingling going up my legs and spine from this “heartwarming encouraging” article in the New York Slimes.
I’m just wondering how come the Slimes goes out of thier way to always put muslims in such positive light and never finds a decent word to say about Jews or Israel?
BTW, that question was sarcastic.
They buy houses and turn them into mosques, just like shtibls!!
I’m sure the frum former owner of BCF is not shepping nachas down in Florida.
THEY ARE JUST PRAYING WHATS WRONG
This is called Hargagta VeGam Yarashta
this is what the gov should focus on
How can you compare them to us when a very ‘healthy’ percentage of them ADMIT to wanting to murder innocents in Israel, here in the USA, and elsewhere!!!??
Where is you critical thinking skills????
3,6,14,&19=thank you! 2,7,8,9 & 20=shame on you!!
