The NY Times has deigned to weigh in on the mosquestrosity going up on a quiet, residential street in Brooklyn.
Local politicians have betrayed this small community. No church, no synagogue or temple (let alone a Wal-Mart of Lowes) would have been allowed to build such a monster in the middle of a quiet street. The
Muslim Brotherhood rabat will accommodate thousands on this quiet street — with no additional parking created or allocated. These politicians assisted in routing this tiny community.
I salute the Sheepshead Bay people for their continuing vigorous fight of this Islamic supremaicst mosque (in an area with few Muslims.)

The enemedia enthusiastically shills for these supremacist mosques. And the Muslim Brotherhood cleverly manipulates this advantage at every turn. Two weeks ago, the Muslim Brotherhood organization behind this rabat, the MAS (Muslim American Society), distributed school supplies to the "needy." (School bag ruse photo right and below)
The media lapped that one up. The media encourages this publicity abuse. They don't mention that of the roughly 50 kids who showed up, over 90% were Muslim, or that they ran out of bags in less than an hour. It doesn't matter. They know that the media will frame it like the Muslim Brotherhood is saving the world. Diabolically clever …. all for PR — just look at how the NY times described this piece of theater:
A cluster of young Muslims in matching yellow T-shirts and broad smiles
handed out free school supplies to a line of needy families in front of a
gated construction site in the waning days of summer. Across the quiet
residential street, two men glared at them, holding up protest signs.
Look at this mosquestrosity; you don't have to be rocket scientist to see that this Muslim Brotherhood beachhead should never have been built on this street. Where is the money coming from to pay for this fortress?
David Storobin, a fierce, freshman NY State Senator, has taken up the
cause. He will be speaking at our 911 Freedom Congress at the UN Plaza
on September 11.
Why there?
Here are some of the latest pictures of the Sheepshead Bay Muslim Brotherhood beachhead.
The mega-mosque will be able to accommodate up to 1,500 people daily. Where will they park?
"A Planned Mosque Inches Along, but Critics Remain," NY Times, September 8, 2012
A cluster of young Muslims in matching yellow T-shirts and broad smiles
handed out free school supplies to a line of needy families in front of a
gated construction site in the waning days of summer. Across the quiet
residential street, two men glared at them, holding up protest signs.Across Voorheis Avenue, Leonid Krupnik, front, and
Victor Benari protested the center and the Muslim American Society,
which is behind the project.The narrow avenue divided the two views of a three-story mosque and
Islamic community center that is slowly being built on Voorheis Avenue
in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, capturing the lingering tensions over a
project that has split this multiethnic, but mostly Russian-Jewish,
residential neighborhood that hugs the Atlantic shoreline.The mosque’s backers say 150 to 200 Muslim families who live within
walking distance are in need of a local place to pray. The mosque, they
want to reassure neighbors, will be an asset, providing afterschool
activities to children, a Boy Scout troop open to all and charity
events, like the school supply giveaway.“Wherever we go, there’s always going to be that negative first
reaction, because a lot of people aren’t educated about Islam,” said
Jose Luis Solis, 27, of Bensonhurst, who helped at the charity event.
“We just got to stand our ground and be positive.”But a determined group of opponents see in the half-built concrete and
brick frame a provocation. To them, it is a blight, a source of future
traffic congestion and worse: a beachhead for Muslim expansion in
Brooklyn and a beacon for anti-Semitism.
“Yes, they are smiling, but you know what’s behind their smiles?” said
Leonid Krupnik, 62, one of the two protesters late last month. Like many
of the mosque’s opponents, he has strong memories of anti-Semitism as a
Jew from the former Soviet Union. “Hatred. They want to create a
caliphate. They want to push people out of this neighborhood.”It was a variation on a scene that has been repeated across the country
when Muslims want to build a mosque, most memorably in the fight over a
proposed Muslim community center near ground zero. Though federal law
makes blocking construction of a house of worship very difficult, in the
decade after the Sept. 11 attacks, the federal Justice Department
opened more than 28 investigations of efforts to interfere with the
construction of mosques and Islamic centers, according to department
statistics.In Sheepshead Bay, a group of opponents to the mosque who call
themselves the Bay People have grown increasingly frustrated as each of
their legal efforts failed. Now, they admit they have little legal
recourse left.Mr. Krupnik and other opponents say they are being unfairly typecast as
xenophobes and racists. They do nevertheless worry that the neighborhood
will change so much that non-Muslims will want to leave and they fear
that the mosque will be used to promote radical thinking.“If the area, suddenly, is like a suburb of some Muslim country, it’s
not very pleasant,” said Alexandr Tenenbaum, who lives several blocks
away. “I am always scared because you see these kind of people, but we
can’t say it.”The Muslims behind the mosque say they have heard it all before. They
have fought the legal challenges with the hope that the anger will
subside once the building opens. Even as the dirty looks continue, the
level of opposition seems to have eased.Last year, the back-to-school giveaway drew so many protesters, the
police responded to keep order; this year, there were only two, which
the mosque’s backers suggested is a good sign.The dispute began in 2008, when Allowey Ahmed, a Yemeni immigrant and
laundromat owner, paid $800,000 for a single-family home on a double lot
at 2812 Voorheis Avenue with the intention of replacing the house with a
mosque.Mr. Ahmed did not tell the neighbors about his plans until the initial
permits were approved by the city and construction was under way. When
they found out, from a worker on the site, they protested to the
community board and rallied in opposition.Eventually they sued, arguing unsuccessfully that the organizers of the
mosque, which stretches to the edge of its lot amid small single-family
bungalows, should be required to provide parking.They still hope, though their own lawyers say it is highly unlikely,
that the city will change the zoning law and retroactively render the
structure illegal.“We understand that this is the First Amendment, that everyone has a
right to pray, but what about our rights as a residents?” said Victor
Benari, 58, the other protester last month. “It’s provocation, 100
percent. Why here? Why not build on a nice big commercial street?”
With local elections coming up, politicians, even those who do not
represent the area, have amplified the issue in recent months.David Storobin, who squeaked out a victory in a special State Senate
election in March and who is now running in a newly drawn district that
spans much of Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn, wrote in June to Mayor Michael
R. Bloomberg, saying the mosque’s institutional sponsor “has links to
radical organizations” like Hamas and Hezbollah. Ben Akselrod, who is
running for the State Assembly in Brooklyn, has expressed similar fears.Mr. Storobin’s current district includes the mosque, but the site is
outside both his new district and the one Mr. Akselrod seeks to
represent.Mr. Ahmed and the Muslim American Society, which bought the property
from him, say the suspicion is unfounded. They also say the statements
by the politicians engender hate.Mr. Ahmed, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1997, said that
because of the tolerance he found in Brooklyn over the years, he had not
expected such determined opposition.Though its construction has been slowed by frequent complaints to the
city’s 311 help line, and the constant need to raise money — he
estimated $500,000 had been spent on the building so far — he was
hopeful the mosque would open next spring.“I wish we could do something to make them like us,” he said, “but thank
God our rights aren’t subject to people whether they like us or not. We
have guaranteed rights, and that’s what makes this country wonderful.”
Wonderful.

Mohammad, the founder of Islam was a barbaric mass murderer and huge slave trader. Mohammad is regarded as the PERFECT man and role model for devout Muslims who follow Islam.
Mr. Ahmed: “I wish we could do something to make them like us,” he said, “but thank God our rights aren’t subject to people whether they like us or not. We have guaranteed rights”.
Mr. Ahmed, You and your fellow devout Muslims DO NOT BELIEVE in human rights for non-Muslims!
The horror and agony of non-Muslims taken for slaves by Muslims continues to this day.
Hundreds of thousands of Black Sudanese Christian children and women have been taken for slaves by Sudan’s Arab Muslims.

Where will they all park? Wherever they want – that’s where! They’ll be parking in people’s driveways. They’ll be parking at every available water hydrant. Or they’ll just be double parking up and down the street blocking residents from moving their own cars. And this will spread to a 4 or 5 square black grid, so it won’t just screw up the standard of living for that block only. And don’t think for a second that the NYPD will do anything if called. They’ll have their orders from above to not ticket these parasites. I know because I live near one of their cesspools and they park wherever they please without any consequences. I stand in solidarity with the courageous people of Sheepshead Bay.

I don’t know if NYC has in place something that actually works in Chicago: Residential Permit Parking>
In neighborhoods all over Chi-Town are sign posts that say ONLY those with Residential Parking Permit # Whatever can park on those streets.
Residents can purchase these stickers and GUEST Passes and UNAUTHORIZED vehicles are TOWED(bringing Revenue to the cash troubled City).
In Chicago a huge percentage of Taxi Drivers are Muslim Immigrants and within a large perimeter around mosques, one will find close to whole city blocks with Taxis parked at Muslim prayer time,DEFYING the Permit system,and leading to DISPUTES with residents.
Sheepshead Bay ,in Brooklyn,CRIES OUT for the Residential Permit System,ENFORCED.

” Two weeks ago, the Muslim Brotherhood organization behind this rabat, the MAS (Muslim American Society), distributed school supplies to the “needy.” “
A clique of conniving Islamists online in Bradford (UK) used the exact same tactic. They planned to target certain groups of people (including non-muslims and the elderly) with ‘food parcels’, making sure they got media attention. They also hoped they would gain a few converts in the process! It wasn’t a genuine move on their behalf, as the online convo showed. A desperate measure in an attempt to divert some unwelcomed light being shone on the true face of islam. They gave themselves a pat on the back, not realising possibly hoardes of people witnessed their deceitful plan for what it was, from the start.
I have the convo somewhere……..
Feeling desperately sorry for the residents there – things won’t ever be the same again in that road/area. What a mess. [x]

Yeah a three story mosque built on a lot designed for single family homes with insufficient parking to support such a structure or its intended purpose. I wonder how many corrupt assholes in city government had to be bought off by islamonazis to approve this?
How does the old islamic platitude go? Smile to their face while you curse them in your heart.
It’s strange how the libtarded assholes are nothing but NIMBY’s, because I don’t notice them supporting the construction of a mosque on the streets of their neighborhoods.

Notice “needy” families are just mozlems who can’t get enough free stuff of obama’s state. This is garbage and propaganda.
Who built this monster? The building firm should be exposed! How would they like this next door?
You know what is coming next: violence, attacks and the forcing out of the area of all non-mozlems.
I have personally experienced this kind of thing in london where the local authority was in cahoots as they have mozlems on key committees.

Shun workers and boycott the construction company. Un-elect those who aided and abetted this. The smell of bacon should greet every Muslim, no matter the time of day. Play recorded church bells at prayer times. Erect a cross on every lawn. Walk your dogs by the mosque.

“Mr. Ahmed, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1997, said that because of the tolerance he found in Brooklyn over the years, he had not expected such determined opposition.”
REALLY? Then why didn’t he mention he was buying the property to build a mosque in partnership with the MAS? Too bad they can’t sue him for fraud, or can they?

Why there? Simply because they were allowed to build. Because corrupt dhimmi public servants, elected and otherwise, are in the deep pockets of Saudi petrodollars!

Mosques should be outlawed, since Muslim countries do not allow non Muslim temples.

THAT’s THE KEY!DETERMINED OPPOSITION!
That’s how Pamela STOPPED the “Ground Zero Mosque”.
Here we are 3 days from 9/11 and imagine how that day would have been had they won,but instead Pamela WON FOR US
Their playbook for 1400 yrs has been to be the “irristable force” and the ONLY way to STOP THEM is to be THE UNMOVABLE OBJECT.

“We have guaranteed rights, and that’s what makes this country wonderful.”
Yes. The US is wonderful. And we want to keep it that way.
There is no room for mosques filled with wahabbist textbooks that promote jihad, that inspire jihad in the US, like 9/11, the Fort Hood massacre, 1993 truck bombing of the WTC, the Times Square SUV bombing.
Now if Muslims were reporting on the hate preached in the mosques in the US, that would be a good sign. But any Muslim who does report, is vilified by MUSLIMS and SOCIALISTS.

The NYT article made it sound as if the people of Sheepshead Bay have given up. I hope that is not true. I certainly don’t trust anything I read in that pro-jihad rag.
And as for religious freedom, islam is not just some religious faith, but is a lethal, totalitarian political ideology which seeks to forcibly convert, subjugate or kill unbelievers. We know that mosques are sued to incite hatred and violence against the infidel.
And since there are no mega churches or synagogues in this residential neighborhood, how can proponents of this mosquestrosity legitimately argue that opposition to it is discrimination?

Whoops, that should read: We know mosques are USED to incite hatred and violence against the infidel.

Once again the government has failed to protect law abiding ,tax paying citizens. Were politicians bought off by Muslims groups? Its very likely. However none of this makes a difference. The governments failure to do its duty means that its time for the citizens to protect themselves and their assets by any means necessary, legal or illegal.

If they do build this ugly intrusion make the parking by permit only and have a fleet of tow trucks haul the cars away without the necessary stickers. Keep up the heat and they will probably end up selling the building. Force is the only thing these thugs respect.

well all I can say you voted Bloomberg in and he is the problem. when are you going to wake up? when he thought it a good idea to build at ground zero I thought something was wrong with this picture. I guess they are really lining his pockets well. but he want take to hell with him every thing I have seen of him lately tell me he is one nut case and he is not for the AMERICAN people let alone for AMERICA. he is pro-muslim.next time he needs to go with obama. but it is up to you people to get rid of him

It’s always about their rights, what about the rights of the people that live there?
Their peace and quiet, their property values, the history of the neighborhood, their parking spots,the safety of their children? The city officials should be ashamed of themselves, they should be recalled and humiliated for the pain they have caused to this community. The community should start an organised campaign of suffering for the builders of this blight.
1) Buy some old cars and park them in front of the mosque so there is no parking for construction vehicles. (If they double park, call the police or park your car or the junker that you bought so they cannot leave or enter, always intimidate).
2) Sue them for evry little thing imaginable, disturbing the peace, loss of value to your property, sue the local government for their failures, etc.. Have someone do a slip and fall on their property or in front, as a contractor Can tell you there has to be a handful of safety violations in the Photos I have seen.
3) Buy some pigs and tie them up in the neighbors yard so they will be visible.
4) Barbeque pork evry friday upwind at the adjoining lot.
Get creative people or submit to your role as a dhimmi/ second class citizen.

A great way to win over and wake up shilling lefties and dhimmies, and everyone we love, and all the movers and shakers we have access to is to simply ask them to read the Koran! That can eliminate Islam in the World.

What a great opportunity to learn how to fight dirty once our own law has betrayed us. And fight dirty we must – they do.
