What's all the whining about?

I repeat myself. I am not whining. I am providing facts. You were wrong about the federal money because you don't deal with facts.

I had to show you the LMDC web site that tells us they are federal dollars.

According to Mr. Gamal, any grant money received from the LMDC will go toward programs “such as domestic violence programs, Arabic and other foreign-language classes, programs and services for homeless veterans, two multicultural art exhibits and immigration services.” He also added that the center will create 150 permanent jobs in the coming years when it is completed.

The developer said has received indications of interest from several major banks regarding possible construction loans for the center. He also said he is close to filing paperwork to establish Park51 as a 501c3 non profit. Planning for the center is still in a very early stage.

You provided the link from Crane and didn't read it.

You are wrong again. You have to be an actual non profit before you can get non profit grants.

The actual formal legal name for this fiasco is still Cordova House.

The bottom line is they are hustling money and don't have a community center to render services from and are still not incorporated.

They are in the dream stages.

And the next error you make is applying for a loan. it ain't a loan. It was a grant.

According to Mr. Gamal, any grant money received from the LMDC will go toward programs “such as domestic violence programs

so they will render services for wife beatings? How ironic. They don't do domestic violence. The wives have it coming.
