FINANCIAL DISTRICT, NY — New plans for a Muslim cultural center in the Financial District have been filed, years after the original proposal spurred backlash from opponents furious that the site was so close to the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Sharif El-Gamal, the developer behind the project, this time plans a smaller center than the 15-story building he had originally envisioned at 51 Park Place. El-Gamal, the founder of Soho Properties, is currently working on a luxury condominium tower at neighboring 45 Park Place.

If we bombed Mecca, would muslims EVER, EVER, EVER consent to a church being build next to it? No earthly way.

Only if the gay bar's name is Suspicious Packages.
