No chance for them to rebuild, yet okay for the Mosque. This does not seem right. Quote from the St. Nicholas website
But today, the church exists only on blueprints. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency overseeing reconstruction, has not finalized the exchange of land needed to provide the congregation with a new home near ground zero. Until that deal is completed, the authority cannot proceed with building the southern foundation wall for the entire site, and cannot draw up designs for a bomb screening center for buses and trucks that would go under the new church.
Now let's understand, this church was there since 1922. It stood in the shadow of the towers, which were built without damage to it, until it was destroyed on 9/11. It measured 22ft. wide, 56ft. long and 35ft tall. Yet, they are holding them off due to bomb screening plans in the tunnels below. Not gonna say what the motivation is, but seems to me like the PC is running wild in NYC and goodness knows, the G.O.C. cannot get a BP (building permit) cause the IC (Islamic Center)has the clear okay from the MNYC (mayor) and the BONC (B. Obaman Non-Committals)
