Fox often gets misquoted- or the poster here is trying to stir up comment. As a moderately right-wing-centrist editorial position, Fox News is viewed with alarm by far left-wingers, some of whom contribute to mudcat threads.
This from a long article about the man behind the cultural center on Fox News website, August 25, 2010, from Associated Press writers.

"Mosque Developer claims classic NYC background, has modest real estate holdings."
"Eight years ago, Sharif El-Gamal was just another ambitious striver from Brooklyn, casting about for career leads and dreaming of a grander future in real estate."
"A handful of modest deals later, he's sitting on one of the most politically charged projects in recent city history: a plan to build a 13-story Islamic cultural center, health club and mosque 300 yards from the World Trade Center memorial.""At age 37, El-Gamal now finds himself being castigated daily on network television as everything from an insensitive agitator to an Islamic supremacist."
"The whirlwind, has, by all appearances, cught him by surprise."

The developer associated with El-Gamal is iman Feisal Abdul Rauf, founder of the American Sufi Muslim Association, dedicated to creating bridges between the American public and American Muslims.
" In the past, programs and academic conferences run by two non-profit groups affiliated with Rauf have received money from the Kingdom Foundation, a charity affiliated with one of the world's richest men, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal of the Saudi Royal family.
"The prince has also invested heavily in American companies and donated may millions of dollars to American universities and charitable causes."
"The Kingdom Foundation has, to date, had no role in El-Gamal's New York Islamic center."

El-Gamal is also supporting an Islamic center in Harlem, to serve the many Senegalese and other Islamic immigrants in New York.
