US helps fund mosque, minaret restoration around the world as part of cultural outreach

The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.

O.k. so let me get it straight here ,

Since 2001 we have been paying for Mosque restorations around the World .

And only till recently money has started to trickle around to Non Muslim interests .

At ground zero some are more worried about Islamic feelings over the Park 51 Mosque being built so close to Ground Zero and way before anything else will be done (Including a Church that was actually Destroyed by one of the Muslim Piloted Planes )

Alright I think I get it , as far as Our government is concerned Muslim Interests Come First !

O.K. , We will also be treated as second class citizens because we protest against the Mosque !

Sounds wrong eh?

Don't worry though , just prepare your Handbasket the ride to Hell is Coming !

WASHINGTON – The good will tour of the Middle East by the imam behind the proposed mosque near ground zero is just part of the U.S. government's efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.

This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.

Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.

The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania's ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.

The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.
