The gozillionaire who bought a couple of buildings to make a site for a mosque at Ground Zero in New York City is possibly in personal jeopardy. It was previously reported that talks were underway to buy the site out from under the planned mosque/islamic center project. Then it was very adamantly reported that NO SUCH TALKS were taking place and they would never ever but never nuh-uh-no-how sell out the property so that the mosque would have to be built somewhere else.
Hold on there.
The people who convinced Hisham Elzanaty to cough up $4.8M of his own money for the property have (to understate the matter) quite a ways to go before they will the have $100M needed to build the new islamic center. So this guy is sitting here listening to how offensive the deal is to his fellow USAmericans, and hearing rumours about the possibility of tripling his money, and looking at the project going nowhere fast, and he's weighing his options. I mean, who WOULDN'T like to suddenly become non-controversial and make a $15M profit in one deal? I sure wouldn't mind it!
The problem is, there are some rabid islamic extremists out there who probably would put a hit out on Mr. Elzanaty if he did sell out the property. Because islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, and murdering those who make you look silly.
