The New York Post (via The Jawa Report) runs an exclusive revealing that Rauf and his gang only own half the site where the Burlington Coat Factory is located, while Con Ed owns the other:
Republican Rick Lazio, who's running for NY governor, has called for the PSC to nix the project following these revelations.

Not so fast.Or who can we believe? Certainly not the nutjobs who're pushing this offensive project. See also this item about how your tax dollars may be paying for Rauf's trips to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The developers of the controversial mosque proposed near Ground Zero own only half the site where they want to construct the $100 million building, The Post has learned.
One of the two buildings on Park Place is owned by Con Edison, even though Soho Properties told officials and the public that it owns the entire parcel. And any potential sale by Con Ed faces a review by the state Public Service Commission.
“We never heard anything about Con Ed whatsoever,” said a stunned Julie Menin, the chairwoman of Community Board 1, which passed a May resolution supporting the mosque.
Daisy Khan, one of the mosque’s organizers, told The Post last week that both buildings on Park Place are needed to house the worship and cultural center. But she claimed ignorance about the Con Ed ownership of 49-51 Park Place and referred questions to Soho Properties, which bought the building at 45-47 Park Place in 2009.
Rep. Peter King, who opposes the mosque, said the developers seemed to be “operating under false pretenses.”
“I wonder what else they are hiding,” said King (R-LI). “If we can’t have the full truth on this, what can we believe?”
