Muslim Brotherhood emerging as backer of Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero

Despite the fact that the First Amendment would give the developers of the Islamic "Community Center" in lower Manhattan the legal right to build, some questions are starting to crop up about funding.  Now, we also learn the decision-makers in NYC may apply public funding to the project.  I, for one, am not sure how appropriate it would be to use US Taxpayers' money for the funding of an Islamic Mosque/Headquarters/Gym/Conference Center in downtown Manhattan.

What a surprise: the group dedicated in its own words to "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within" has connections to the "moderate" Ground Zero mosque. "Mosque's Saudi Patron," from Investor's Business Daily, August 26:

Islamofascism: New dots are emerging from the probe into who's behind the Ground Zero mosque, and the radical Muslim Brotherhood is coming into view.

While a couple of U.S. nonprofits -- the Cordoba Initiative and its sister, the American Society for Muslim Advancement -- are coordinating the New York project, they hardly give the full picture. A Saudi charity has sunk more than $300,000 into ASMA. It's called the Kingdom Foundation -- headed by Alwaleed bin Talal, the Saudi prince whose 9/11 relief check was rejected after he blamed the attacks on U.S. foreign policy.

Bin Talal is a major financier of Muslim Brotherhood fronts in the U.S. His foundation is run by Saudi hijabi Muna Abu Sulayman, who appears on ASMA's Web site as one of its "Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow."

"Her work," according to her official bio, "focuses on increasing understanding between Islam and the West through establishment of academic centers and programs, both in the Middle East and the United States."
