Ferris Bueller: I think Jon is making a point that perhaps you are missing. He's simply saying that making a loose connection between the Mosque funding and approval of it can be done with almost everything. In many cases (if not most) there is nothing to the association. Keep in mind the following: The Kingom Holdings group has large shares in almost every worldwide mega corporation including Walt Disney, Pepsi, Apple, CitiGroup, P&G, and Ford Motors. It's a global investment firm looking to make money, not spread religious idealism. If you look hard enough you could tie back at least a dollar to the Kingdom Holdings from every company and group in the world.
Also, Newscorp is a publicly traded company, do you know what that means? It means no one has control over who purchases Newscorp stock on the open market.
It's still legitimate to ask where the money for the MOSQUE is coming from. And where did the developer get all his millions to buy the property? He was a waiter just two years ago. And if the Mosque is going to be financed by Arab countries (which it is) then that information should be known.
No one is against a Mosque in the US. There are plenty of Mosques here. But they are against one being built in this particular location. It's insensitive.
Tuesday: Murdoch will come up clean... as always. I thought the Patriot act was supposed to stop this kinda activity. If this Kingdom group has any links to terrorist funding... how did it go unnoticed.. I thought being a 'pro USA' organisation that if there was any suspicion (I'm sure Murdoch knows who his major stockholders are) they would have gone public.
But from observations on similar events over here... good stock movement means increased stock prices. Sky over here has been found to break rules.
