From Donald Trump WNYC: Trump sent a letter to one of the financial backers,Hisham Elzanaty, and offered to purchase the property at 25 percent more than what the building was bought for. In the letter he makes the offer because it will end a "very serious, inflammatory and highly divisive situation."
Trump included one condition to his offer: as part of the deal, the backers of the Islamic cultural center would have to promise that if any new mosque is constructed, it would have to be at least five blocks farther away from the World Trade Center site.
This is great news!! I hope Hisham Elzanaty accepts Trump's offer to buy the property. Thank you for stepping up to the plate Donald Trump.

You did call it!
Trump is a patriot in my book.
Definitly a peace maker. He found the middle ground on the issue. I just hope it workds.
The LA Times is reporting that one of the developers (a "new" guy on the scene) turned Trump's offer down flat. Here's the article.
Typical Islamic negotiation stance: We'll either build it or blow you up. But what they mean is: We'll build it and blow you up.
The U.S. gov't negotiators better find a spine, and quick.
Thanks for the update, Quite Rightly. This is further evidence revealing the developers and the Imam's true motives behind the building of the mosque. We must continue to turn up the heat and force this ultra-insensitive man to move the mosque further away from Ground Zero.
Conservative Scalawag,
Yes, he is. Hopefully, this puts even more pressure on them to move the mosque.
reading your comments....crazy stuff!
i always liked The Donald.
I think one of the developers called it a cheap publicity stunt. As if anything The Donald does would be cheap.
There is nothing to turn these people away from building the mosque, unless New York tells Rauf he will be persona-non-grata in their midst. I doubt even that will do it.
Trump tried and did it in a spirt of kindness and generosity.
Hi, Teresa,
I see that the Imam has started twisting and squirming regarding the agreement he made during his conversation with the Pastor about calling off the Koran bonfire party on 9/11. It's impossible to trust these people, they will say anything to get themselves out of a corner and then do the complete opposite the moment your back is turned - no wonder Lefty politicians like them so much!
Deception is part of Islam. Its called taqqiya.
Keep in mind, the Koran calls "Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers." "Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena" (Sura Family Of 'Imran, verse 54)
