Wants construction not near but on 'Hallowed Ground'
Pinko filmmaker raises more than $50,000 for ground zero mosque
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore says he has raised over $50,000 for the construction of a mosque and Muslim community center near Ground Zero. Moore made an appeal to his supporters on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 for donations to the construction project, pledging to match contributions up to $10,000.
Less than 48 hours later, five times that amount had poured into the contribution coffers as hundreds of people from around the country heeded Moore’s call.
“Times are tough economically, and supporting our Muslim brothers and sisters is not a popular thing to do right now,” Moore said on his blog. “I am truly touched by your generosity — and people around the world will know that you, too, represent an America they rarely get to see.”
The proposed mosque, known as Park51, will include a swimming pool and a theater and is expected to cost more than $100 million.
More than 70% of the American people oppose its construction.
Moore on his blog took these people to task.
