New York:
The US Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee suggested
on Monday that there should be an investigation into the funding of
a proposed mosque near the Ground Zero site in New York City.
Republican Peter King raised concerns about the sources of funding
for the proposed $100 million (Dh367.216 million) mosque, just
blocks away from the site of the September 11, 2001, attacks, where
nearly 3,000 Americans died at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
"It's a house of worship, but we are at war with Al Qaida," King
said. "I think the 9/11 families have a right to know where the
funding comes from. I think there are significant questions."
The mosque is a project by the American Society for Muslim
Advancement and the Cordoba Institute, which promotes cross-cultural
understanding between Islam and the West. Cordoba's Director, Imam
Faisel Abdul Rauf, has refused to disclose the sources of funding
for the mosque and once suggested in a TV interview that US policies
contributed to the 9/11 attacks.
King's views differ sharply from those of New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, who said on Monday it would be un-American to
investigate the mosque. Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-independent,
has backed the mosque since the project came under development, as
do numerous other community and political leaders including New York
State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic nominee for
Governor.
King is a supporter of Republican Rick Lazio's campaign for
Governor. Lazio opposes the mosque and has called on Cuomo to look
into its funding. Lazio was scheduled to testify on Tuesday on the
mosque at a hearing of the New York City Landmarks Commission.
Cuomo has said he would investigate the mosque if there is evidence
of wrongdoing or criminal behavior but that no such evidence has
been put forth.
Even though a mosque is supposed to be a religious setting, Ground
Zero may not be an appropriate spot for this or any proposed mosque,
King said.
"Right at this moment in history, it's bad form to put it there," he
said. "There are things you are allowed to do, but that aren't
appropriate to do."
