Who is managing the building of the mosque proposed for the area near Ground Zero?
Dianergr
Imam Feisal Abdul-Rauf and Sharif El-Gamal are serving as the project managers of the proposed Islamic center, called Park51, until a non-profit organization is established. Abdul Rauf was born in Egypt and moved with his father to the US when he was a teenager. A Sufi Muslim, he is a community and prayer leader who has been the imam of the Masjid al-Farah mosque in lower Manhattan.
El-Gamal was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He leads a real estate investment firm, SOHO Properties, that owns the lower Manhattan building where the $100 million center, Park51, would open. Abdul Rauf and El-Gamal have said that they would be seeking funding for the structure from the Muslim community. So far, they are far from having accrued the estimated $100 million building cost.

Why is Obama building a mosque in New York?
Obama is not building a mosque anywhere. In fact, the so-called mosque is not a mosque at all, but an Islamic cultural center. The center is being built by a Muslim imam named Feisal Abdul Rauf, and his congregation and some real estate developers. Obama has nothing to do with any of it. They are building the mosque two blocks from Ground Zero because that is just where they happened to find space for it.
