$1M in taxpayer money going to build a megamosque that spews hate at Christians and Jews.
Sometime after the 25th anniversary of September 11, the Muslim Brotherhood, whose members included Osama bin Laden, intends to build a megamosque in New York City.
And American taxpayers struggling to feed their children are the ones paying for it.
The organizers of the megamosque situated near the world famous Bronx Zoo, and across the narrow channel of Harlem River from Manhattan, boast that it will be the largest mosque in the state with four floors and 32,000 square feet overshadowing the mostly single-story houses and the occasional leftover Victorian from the neighborhood’s gentler past in the neighborhood.
Two of which the mosque has already demolished and whose residents it shamefully evicted.
The megamosque is being set up within the conservative Italian-American neighborhood of Morris Park which traditionally voted for Republicans before Muslim mass migration created the so-called ‘Little Yemen’ area inside it. It’s still the only part of the Bronx represented by a Republican councilwoman. But the growth of Little Yemen aims to make it fully Democrat.
And the building of the megamosque is backed by over $1 million in federal taxpayer funding.
The Bronx Muslim Center is a source of hate where speakers have mocked Christians, spread antisemitism and supported Hamas. The Bronx megamosque’s social media account cheered for “victory” in Gaza with pro-Hamas groups and urged followers to “disrupt” cities in protests for Gaza. A past NYPD intelligence document had warned that “individuals believed to be supporters/members of Hamas may have links to the Bronx Muslim Center”.
As reported last year, Hamud Alsilwi, the imam of the Bronx Muslim Center, praised Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin for “making the Jews sleepless”, backed stoning ‘adulterers’ and posted a message stating that the war “stirs jihad in the souls of Muslims, which terrifies the West.” Akram Omar, a supporter of Zohran Mamdani, of the Bronx Muslim Center had promoted Hamas propaganda and “reposted praise for the October 7 attacks, featuring video of cheering crowds.” In remarks at the mosque, he declared that Muslims are “willing to die” to defeat Israel.
At a rally at the terror mosque, Mamdani had urged that in the election, the congregation had “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”
Behind the hate megamosque is the Muslim American Society. The MAS’s co-founder and documents seized in a raid on a Hamas associate identified the organization as a Muslim Brotherhood operation. MAS admits that the Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan was behind its founding, while claiming that “many immigrant organizations would likely have had some founders who had some involvement or even membership in the Ikhwan.”
The Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan is the organization behind numerous international Islamic terrorist groups including Al Qaeda and Hamas. Osama bin Laden had first traveled to Pakistan as an envoy of the Muslim Brotherhood. One of Al Qaeda’s founding organizations was a splinter group of the Muslim Brotherhood known as Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Bin Laden’s successor and the thinker behind much of Al Qaeda’s operations came from a Brotherhood family and was inspired by Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb to join EIJ.
MAS president Esam S. Omeish had been forced to step down after video of a speech in which he declared that, “you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”
15 years ago, the MAS had been at the epicenter of the plan to build a three story mosque in Sheepshead Bay which had torn apart that Brooklyn community. Around that same time, work also started on the project to build the Bronx ‘megamosque’ to secure control over the area.
MAS locations have been sources of disturbing advocacy and training for Islamic terrorism.
The Philadelphia chapter of the MAS posted videos of children at an MAS school singing “chop off their heads” and vowing to be “martyred” in the Islamic Jihad.
Now American taxpayers have been forced to contribute over $1 million to the construction of a megamosque preaching hate, terror and death in a former Republican district. In contrast to the $1,050,000 appropriated for a foreign organization’s mosque that preaches hate and terror, the Word of Life Community Center, which helps the borough’s African-American community received less than half of that as did the roof repair projects of two local libraries.
But they matter less than the megamosque.
In his 2023 appropriations request for the megamosque, Rep. Ritchie Torres claimed that the money is “an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the construction of the Bronx Muslim Center will allow the center to increase its social services to the community.” But the Community Development Block Grant under which Rep. Torres applied bars the use of federal funds for any religious activities. And the vast majority of the Center’s activities appear to be religious.
The mosque’s fundraising site shows that it was trying to raise $1.5 million (of which it only appears to have raised less than $500,000) after $2 million in previous spending suggesting that the $1 million federal grant actually makes up much of the current funds for the mosque’s construction. The Bronx Muslim Center’s fundraising focuses on the need to find space for 2,000 Muslim settlers to attend services and study Sharia, not aiding non-Muslims. It describes its mission as conveying “Islam with utmost clarity”, not providing social services to the borough.
And rather than improving life for non-Muslims in the Bronx, the mosque evicted the residents of two houses to demolish them and make way for their four-floor temple of hate. Even before it’s completed, the megamosque is already making life worse for New Yorkers.
The ACLU would be suing if federal funds were going to churches or synagogues, for example, the ACLU sued to block funds from going to the Princeton Theological Seminary and a New Jersey Yeshiva school, it has filed lawsuits in numerous states to block funds from going to Christian institutions, but it has done nothing about the federal funding of mosque construction in New York because in this, as in so many other things, the rules are different for Islam.
But the rules shouldn’t be different. And taxpayers shouldn’t be funding terror and hate.
American taxpayers are being compelled to fund a megamosque that preaches hate toward Christians and Jews, that supports lawless assaults on businesses, whose leaders cheer on terrorism and whose origins lie in organizations intertwined with Al Qaeda and Hamas.
As the 9/11 anniversary approaches, New Yorkers are reminded of who’s really winning the war.

Britain is done for and I fear New York City is as well. Those two major twin enemies of Western Civilization, Islam and Leftism, are still at it with much “enthusiasm.”

I sometimes wonder – could another Rudy Giuliani be elected again as NYC mayor in our lifetimes?
gravenimage says
I hope so, Infidel, but I fear not. How much worse would things have been in NYC after 9/11 if he had not been mayor there?
commonsense says
I know the area well, as I grew up there. The Muslim presence, nonexistent unril the early 2000s, has metastasized. My last visit was in 2008. By then, Muslims were everywhere, along with halal delis, meat markets, and even a slaughterhouse. The storefront mosque on Rhinelander Avenue, slated for expansion largely through taxpayer dollars, was even then an epicenter of antisemitic hate, with a placard prominently displayed on the entrance door that demonized Israel for maltreatment of “Palestinians,” requesting donations to fight the Zionists. We have apparently learned absolutely nothing from 9-11. Nothing.

Islam Muslims deceive the Leftists to fund Muslim islamization of NYC and America to gain ultimate power and control of America. Islam is deceit(Quran 3:54; 7:99; 8:30, etc.).
Allah’s Muslims desire to make Islam supreme. Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah, the Supreme Destroyer, in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”. Allah teaches that Death By Jihad leads to Muslim Paradise and Allah’s reward. Allah in Qur’an 3:169 says, “And do not consider those who were killed for the sake of Allah as dead. Yet they are alive with their lord, receiving their provision.”
John Herlihy says
I like that you use the Koran to drive home your point! These are the same verses that Muslims read, follow, act on, to show they hate ALL KUFFAR and want to liquidate them for disbelief of a Pagan, Arabic “moon-god and a 7th century barbaric, homicidal/sex maniac, warlord, pedo, slave owner/trader, false prophet, for all the world to see in the Koran, Hadiths, and Sira.

This SHOULD BE BLOCKED ASAP.. there are a myriad of reasons why.. I don’t have to tell you. NO GO ZONES are UNACCEPTABLE IN AMERICA.
Troybeam says
Anything Islamic in America should be denied, segregation was outlawed. Islam segregates followers in communities by having Muslims only ruled by sharia law. Non-Muslims cannot enter, this is not new in some areas in America. Have read that law enforcement is not allowed to enter as well.
Segregation by Islam, allowed to happen because fools allow it to happen.
No speaks up loud enough to be heard.
Westman says
The false national US image of Islam, gained during the Hippy Era, was definitely damaged by the 9/11 attack on NYC. There were howls of indignation from CAIR and others that it had nothing to do with “normal” Islam which the doctrinally-ignorant leaders accepted more than the populace. We remember the attempt to build the Park51 mosque. It had city approval but encountered tremendous citizen rejection.
This megamosque city funding seems to be an appeasement to Islam for the Park51 mosque project controversey. It is a mistake, of course, because Islam cannot be appeased and one demand, accomodated, only leads to another.
Walter Sieruk says
First, history reveals that mosques, and even into modern times, those building are more than place where Muslim meet to pray and worship their god, Allah and have social activates together. They are also strategic jihad military plaining centers. In this century in the Middle East, mosques were weapon storage places.
Second, that large mosque in New York State as well as the construction of the many mosques in the United States not only means that more and more Muslims are entering the US and likewise more and more people in the US are now being proselytized to Islam.
This may be disturbing enough, nevertheless this mass construction of mosques in America and other Western nations have still has a further meaning which has been explained by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, in his book ISLAM THE HOUSE I LEFT BEHIND for in page 99 it informs the reader that “The mosque is vital for establishing Muslims as sovereign over non-Muslims in a non-Islamic society or country. Building a mosque in a non-Islamic society or country symbolizes Islam’s claim over that society or country, even with a non-Muslim majority.”
Walter Sieruk says
About Muslims praying to their god, Allah in that mosque in New York State and also in other mosques around the world it needs to be made clear that the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To uphold this claim to be valid and true , it should be revealed that through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “
Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.
The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi
James Lincoln says
Apparently, New York City will soon have a mega-mosque – along with a commie Jew-hating jihadi.
What could possibly go wrong?

Question, are American tax dollars going towards the building of Synagogues, Catholic Cathedrals, Lutheran Churches etc.? I thought there was a separation of church and state in our constitution.
I object to my tax dollars supporting the building of an Islamic Mosque, or any other religions buildings.

Incredible! What is this extremist Turkey-Iran-Qatar-funded terrorist organization MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD doing constructing a MegaMosque in the midst of New York City? Surely, this is political insanity!
This political Islamist organization is funded by Islamofascist Turkey and trillionaire briber-at-large mini-Qatar (which funds Genocidal Turkey now killing Christians and Alawaites (2000 buthered in Jihadist “Syria”a coastline so Erdogan, 3000 Druzes so that Erdogan can instal his base to threaten Israel, Gerece and Cyprus and “march to Jerusalem and exterminate every Jew”!
The Muslium Bros were responsible for the destruction of Egypt when Islamist Muslim Bros. “Leader” Morsey bankrupted country in one year and Egyptian middle classes left for the Gulf area! Does the West, or anyone, want these fanatics proselytizing the young in New York and making it another Londonstan, Paristan or Berlinstan? Surely TAXPAYERS should prevent this literal CHRISTIANOPHOBIC, ANTI-SEMITIC & misogynist to its Sharia Core Islamist Religious monstrosity from happening!
Not a single U.S. dollar should go towards building this Political Islam terrorist Shrine for the Muslim Brotherhood to extend its terrorist Christianophic and Semitophobic ambitions to “butcher all infidels”! Shameful that is is allowed.
memi says
Hamud Alsilwi, the imam of the Bronx Muslim Center, praised Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin for “making the Jews sleepless”, backed stoning ‘adulterers’ and posted a message stating that the war “stirs jihad in the souls of Muslims, which terrifies the West.”
Not a single U.S. Tax Dollar should go from the taxpayers to build this Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas terrorist monstrosity of a Mosque! This is Political Islam that aims to destabilize the City. Christianophobia and anti-Semitism are its “pillar sermons”. While behind the scenes, Islamofascist genocidal Turkey and its “client” Qatar are providing support to exterminate all “infidels” and Erdogan wants to “march to Jerusalem and kill all Jews”!
The Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, with Hamas, are now in Ankara & Doha. Let these terrorist, destabilizing forces remain there! New York City should prevent this MegaMonstrosity!

Very informative article! Hatred and assaults against Christians and Jews should not be subsidized by American taxpayers and construction of this mega-monstrosity-Mosque in NYC must be cancelled.
