Call us cynical but we wonder whether Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s passionate backing of the building of a controversial mosque near Ground Zero stems as much from Bloomberg’s belief in America’s “freedom of faith” as it might from the Mayor’s belief in the “virtues of Islamic finance?”
Does the Mayor’s unshakable support have anything to do with The Bloomberg (company) becoming a ‘single provider of information that caters to the Islamic business market’? A Bloomberg five-year business plan for an Islamic finance portal via a Bloomberg hub at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is already a reality.
Michael Bloomberg, has become a staunch supporter of the Cordoba House (Park51) Ground Zero Mosque. In the process, the Mayor has lectured opponents on “religious liberty” and, by extension, implied that opposition to the mosque is largely based on bigotry.
Lately, Bloomberg has become so insistent on the mosque’s being built at its planned location that The New York Post has labeled him Pro-Mosque Mike.”
A defiant Mayor Bloomberg, saying there should be no compromise, insisted last night that a mosque be built near Ground Zero, declaring, “We must do what is right, not what is easy.
While Bloomberg hasn’t been shy about questioning the motives of those opposed to the mosque’s location, the media has shied away from the Mayor‘s motivations. But what of the Mayor’s motives? What might they be? Does a strong passion for religious liberty explain all?
Some of Bloomberg LP’s officials may hold some clues.
On October 2, 2009, The Dubai Chronicle reported Chairman and President of Bloomberg LP Peter T. Grauer met with UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum at Maktoum’s Emirate office. According to the Dubai Chronicle, Grauer gave a presentation of Bloomberg future expansion plans in the ‘area of business information’ in the United Emirates, North Africa, and India. Grauer stated the UAE was a great place to expand, the UAE’s “logistic facilities” the ‘biggest incentive for investors and companies to expand their businesses in the country and the region beyond’.
“Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance. Today, there is no one single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market. So by Bloomberg being here, we are in the process of building out an Islamic finance product. We are very confident that we can build a product that meets the needs of the market right now.”
–Max Linnington, Regional Head of Bloomberg Middle East and South Asia on the company’s plan to build a Bloomberg hub in Dubai at the Dubai International Financial Centre(DIFC), October 29, 2009
Some details about the DIFC:
The DIFC is the world’s fastest growing international financial centre. It aims to develop the same stature as New York, London and Hong Kong.
It primarily serves the vast region between Western Europe and East Asia.
Could the plans of Bloomberg LP have an influence on Bloomberg the Mayor?
Recently he claimed, “We would send a signal around the world that Muslim-Americans may be equal in the eyes of the law, but separate in the eyes of their countrymen.”
Might the Mayor be more interested–even just the tiniest bit–in some parts of the world than in others?
Might Bloomberg’s speech have sent a signal to the Middle East – which by a great coincidence, is the site of the Dubai International Financial Centre, the location of one of Bloomberg LP’s ten worldwide hubs?
On March 10, 2010, the Khaleej Times reported Bloomberg Set for Dubai expansion in bid to double revenues by 2014.
“Bloomberg, a leading global provider for financial data and news services, plans to “significantly boost regional operations from its Dubai hub as it is bullish about growth prospects of the emirate as a global financial center, a top executive said.”
The coincidences continue: the Mayor’s company is banking on “doubling revenues by 2014″ in a region that just happens to be largely populated by Muslims.
The Mayor, when he isn’t busy rallying support for a mosque opposed by a large majority in NYC and 70% of Americans at large, is in the newsgathering business. Bloomberg makes a lot of money providing financial news in a timely manner.
One more coincidence: if you do a search for financial news from Dubai and the Middle East, chances are, your only sources–outside the Mayor’s own Bloomberg.com — are The National, the Dubai Chronicle or the Khaleej News.
While we were able to easily access articles from the National, Dubai Chronicle or the Khaleej News about the Bloomberg Dubai hub, a search of Bloomberg.com came up empty. Ten pages of results: nothing.
Does it concern the Mayor that Bloomberg.com is getting scooped on news about Bloomberg LP?
Michael Bloomberg has made billions of dollars being a savvy businessman. Might a savvy businessman consider it prudent to maintain good relations in the Muslim world–a part of the world where the Mayor’s company hopes to “double revenues by 2014?”
How does Mayor Bloomberg’s support for the Ground Zero mosque — based, he says, on the issue of freedom of faith – square with the “virtues of Islamic finance” and an Islamic finance portal in Dubai with Bloomberg LP‘s aim of becoming “the world’s single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market?”
One more important question: will the NYC media ask Hizzoner if he has any potential conflicts to act as an impartial broker on Park51? Doesn’t it seem just that the survivors and families whose loved ones lost their lives on 911 receive some answers — before receiving any more lectures from the tiny, Boston-born Democrat turned Republican turned Independent turned Republican turned Whatever Mayor of the City of New York?
It’s easy to imagine the Mayor becoming enthusiastic over opportunities when billions of dollars are to be made. Enthusiasm is a hard emotion to contain.
Even when a majority of his constituents remain opposed to the latest object of Bloomberg’s enthusiasm.

Gee–ya think?!!!
Bloomberg is pure miniature RINO (he stands about 4' 8") and is bringing back to NYC the days of Dinkins and to a lesser extent Koch, with crime going through the roof. Every day this lilliputian is in office, the greater Rudy's accomplishments seem. Simple as that.
This little Napoleon (Bloomburg) may have met his Waterloo in the form of an "Islamic Cultural Center"…..
Everyone supporting this Mosque has a tin political ear, making their judgement suspect…
These "useless tool" supporters of Islam and by extension, Sharia Law, must be turned out of office, as Islam
is not compatible with our constitution and "Founding" American values…
At what point will Bloomberg have, "made enough money?"
So the bottom line is he's willing to sell his soul (and New York's) to make a deal!
The Man is a traitor, and liar. NUFF SAID.
Great job uncovering this information. I think anyone who has paid any attention to this situation suspected something like this all along. It's ugly enough for a private businessman to call his fellow citizens "haters" when they stand in the way of his profit, but when he is the an elected official who supposedly swore to serve and protect his fellow citizens, the amorality of it just reeks.
SHARIAH FOR DUMMIES…..perhaps Bloomberg needs some education:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pag...
I knew it. Bloomberg is a businessman first and foremost. Great job making these connections. Keep the heat on.
he has fooled the people of New York so many times, i now wonder how intelligent they really are.
This guy has the same disease George Soros has. It's a nauseating blend of unprincipled greed, mixed with an elitist socialist philosophy of asserting power and control over peoples personal lives (i.e. trans-fats etc.) for their 'own good'. The latter gives them the emotional license to do whatever it takes to pad their wallets, so they can fund their 'crusade'.
Thank you for looking into this. I've found Bloomberg's attack on his constituents shockingly hostile and suspiciously fervent. Looks like we have another politician selling America out and where is the MSM? Covering for him.
Great photo choice of the NY commissar. The expression on his face sums up Mondo's case.
Geek Dictionary definition- Bloomberg: Ferengi politician whom won't let morals get in the way of acquisition. Favorite saying, "I'd chop off a head or two if I could make a buck". ;^)>
The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to fall together . Should of figured. Bloomberg should be investigated and removed from office.
Just think, this is what you can do as Mayor … Isn't this what you would call a conflict of interest?
Think what riches he can bring to himself if he were president, and supported the GZM.
Methinks the NY Post may have a word or too to say on this subject, and no doubt the WSJ could do an excellent job pursuing the financial connections that Bloomberg has with Muslim countries. As for the rest of the NY papers, I doubt they will want to go there. Perhaps Fox can get things going on the broadcast side of things.
"It is
not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular,
it is why he does it. The motive is everything."
NO WAY! No American politician would ever sell his country doown the drain to help preserve his personal fortune. To even suggest this is contrary/wrong headed to the Ideals of Americanism. I know this because my leaders demonstrate their belief in our system daily.
Mornin Malachi,
Sadly in this regard, Bloomberg is in good company. In fact it's not that easy to separate wheat from chafe regarding politicians and their endless greed.
Now that I think on it………name one person in DC that isn't rich only because they're too new to have enough "marketable" influence worth the big bucks yet.
He makes my skin crawl. He is a real slime bucket.
Bloomberg is a very politically correct kind of guy regardless of any middle east business interests.
Did you notice those little pouches of fluid under his eyes???? I wonder how long he had to sit on the
floor in that uncomfortable position, bet his tailbone was hurting if it was very long. It's clear he's unable
to sit like the other men in the pic….. Pilates or Yoga classes for you Mikey……..:-)
.
Here's to hoping this story gets widespread play.
The question asked in this article's headline says it all…… and the answer is: YES!
Of course it does! A FAT Bloomberg wallet is a large factor, along with his overriding sense of Political Correctness.
Given the Mayor's rather diminutive stature perhaps he should assume the name of a previous mayor, Mr. Dinkins.
Good question. That same question popped into my head this morning.
Good Morning Mam, To give you one, Lemonjello Brown, third generation project dweller living with his 32 year old grandmother, who has ambition to be rich (yes he's too new at age 12, but he has hope his gang believes in).
What is interesting about Bloomberg is his complete hypocrisy about Constitutional Freedom. He supports religious Freedom, as certainly do I, but he does not support the other Constitutional; Guarantees of the Bill of Rights such and especially so, The Second Amendment. He is a liar and a fraud and a true hypocrite.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
Gee! who'd a thunk it?
With emphasis on the Sic!
Let's help it go viral.
Maybe we are heading in this direction>>> Islamic Finance More Assured Means of Investing http://classic.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1568909...
Eureka! The "Ah-Hah" moment …see he is a greedy, devious, unprincipled man like I thought.. ..I thought he was getting senile.
uhh yea.. im going to say it had ALOT to do with it
it actually makes sense now.. i was constantly thinking to myself why the hell would bloomberg be so gung-ho about this mosque… everything is much clearer now.. thank you.
Yes indeed. It is all about Sharia and generally it all leads back to the Saudi's.
Bloomy is currently the Dhimmi King!
As a Dhimmi Bloomy hopes to curry favor therefore the Wahhabists will turn away from him. But as a Jew he will have to pay the tax to stay alive.
Don't expect CBS or CNN or anyone else in the steam powered media to actually 'cover' this.
It is not hypocritical to be for one idea and against a completely different idea.
It would only be hypocritical if in this case he claimed to be for the second amendment but his actions were against the second amendment.
Also, Soros via the center for American Progress helped Obama fill appointments and coronate emperors, opps… I mean Czars.
Obama is also freeing up gulf oil rigs for Soros’s Brazil drilling investment.
I also wonder if Soros has a big bet against the dollar and Obama is helping him by crashing the dollar with reckless spending. (Soros made a fortune shorting the British pound years ago).
O is a Soros puppet!
From Wikipedia
"In British politics and economics, Black Wednesday refers to the events of 16 September 1992 when the Conservative government was forced to withdraw the pound sterling from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) after they were unable to keep sterling above its agreed lower limit. George Soros, the most high profile of the currency market investors, made over US$1 billion profit by short selling sterling."
I am reminded of the German Jews who financed the third Reich .
Soros shenanigans are becoming well known. It wouldn't surprise me, if Bloomberg intentionally smeared over 70 pct. of Americans for a barrel of ryals. He likes catering to a religion that translates to the words 'submit to God' in english. It rubs his massive ego the right way; like all these narcissistic liberal Mandarins.
He doesnt care where the mosque funding money comes from; maybe a chunk of it is coming from him????? Something that needs to be looked at closely
Who weee. That stinks. He should have disclosed this conflict-of-interest a long time ago and now he looks very, very corrupt as a result. Then again, I have thought Mr. Bloomberg to be a very corrupt man for a long time. Man, selling out America and the 9/11 families to make some buckaroos. Now that is about as contemptible as it gets.
Our new American Benedict Arnold – in the flesh.
At least Koch knows who the enemy is, and who our friends are. He's come out opposing O's opposition and bias against Israel. Sorry, a little off topic defending Koch on a related issue.
Yep, it's all for the money. He's a true, hypocritical sellout to his new god, money.
That would mean he has to stand on a box when at the lectern and he, more than likely, suffers from the Napoleon complex. Therefore his status equalizer is pile upon pile of money.
Koch came to his senses and has become a conservative of late. Had he been more so in office, I could be more generous. His years as congressman and mayor are most certainly liberal years.
No doubt.
This is not the first time Mondo Frazier has questioned the motives of others:

Building mosques over churches in conquered land is standard practise of lslam. Why have Jihadists been building Victory Mosques on sites of historic importance to infidels, like Ground Zero?
Europe and Asia are filled with Victory Mosques, The Dome of the Rock, The Blue Mosque of Iran, The Sultanahmet Camii in Turkey. The list is long, with dozens of Victory Monuments built over the last 1600 years.
History is filled with victory mosques erected by Islamists in their ongoing conquest to conquer the world. The point of a victory mosque is to memorialize the geographical area that the Islamists consider to have conquered. It symbolizes that they have taken control of that territory.
The sites were not chosen randomly. Many of them were formerly Christian or Jewish or Hindu temples, or in close proximity to such. The sacred locations were chosen to symbolize that control was transferred from the other states or religions to the state of Islam.
The mosque planned at 9/11 Ground Zero is the latest in this process that has been going on for centuries. What is interesting about this one, is that it seems premature, considering they have not conquered New York or Manhattan. Or have they?
That depends. If the mosque is allowed to be erected on Park Place in Manhattan, then victory is theirs. It would be the crowning achievement to the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks, and it would indicate that they have indeed conquered Manhattan and NYC for that matter.
If it is disallowed as it should be, then there is no victory mosque, and no victory. 9/11 will remain a single battle that Islamofascists have won in an ongoing war that they have been waging against the rest of the world for over a millennium.
This is a plan to remove all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and replace them with everyday Americans just like you. http://goooh.com/home.aspx
After we succeed with this step we need to turn our attention to career bureaucrat's. So, we can move from treating the symptoms, and cure the disease. For all of our individual freedoms in America, as protected by the Constitution.
Thanks for the comment, Rich P.
Your are 100% right: it isn't the first time I've questioned the motives of public officials; it will certainly not be the last!
Thanks to the max for giving me a shout-out!
Does the Sharia constitution have a bill off rights and a 2nd Amendment?
Kinda (Shiria) goes with the fascist mentality…
You're welcome. I enjoy posting here and want to take this opportunity to thank Breitbart for allowing me once again to post on BIGHOLLYWOOD and BIGJOURNALISM. And Mr. Frazier, I look forward to commenting on your future articles.

At his stage, it's no longer "money," it's a measuring stick.
Agreed, great journo job! (Gee, remember when we almost expected that from regular newspapers?)
I admit to having tried to shrugg off the automatic suspicion of Bloomberg being in the tank because he already has so much money it didn't seem feasible; so I had concluded he's just abysmally ignorant of what the Islamists' true intentions are. But I had forgotten that money, even obscene amounts of money, is not about money or wealth to many of those with low levels of self-esteem (who look "different" in some way from the average Joe, such as real tall or real short or disfigured at birth or a very young age).
But regardless of what his emotional deficiencies may be, I agree with you — the amorality of this just reeks.
Worse than that, he wants to revoke our donuts and chocolate cake, and take away the table salt. The good news is that, next to Bloomberg, Mayor Daley looks like a right honorable guy.
There are no rights under Sharia only the will of Allah. There is no room
for Sharia in a modern world and you only have to look at most of the Muslim
world to notice they are missing a few things: indoor plumbing, floors not
made of dirt, basic infrastructure. Overall quite pathetic.
This will, at least, kill any prospect of an independent Bloomberg run for the presidency, thank God.
I had suspected that he was bribed. This pay off is (or will be) even better for him.
By the way, he's looking like Soros' little brother in that photo.
I'm doing my part.
Bloomberg is a liberal. He bought the Republican nomination in 2001 because he knew he would not be able to win in a crowded Lib field. This says more about the sad state of the Republican party in NYC than says about his political leanings.
True enough. Bloomy broke from a lifelong track record as a dem to join the party of convenience. He is a RINO, though libs try to paint him as a Republican any time his liberal policies fail (which is often).
The GOP in NYC is like a whipped dog. Even Rudy was socially liberal as this is the entitlement capital of America. Still he was the far better mayor IMHO.
New term " he is a Bloomberg idiot"
mini-me?
When we read this sort of stuff, we should follow the money on all elected officials….simple as that! Where are our legal-eagles? Why can't we get all the people who are profiting with-in their positions and that includes the people in congress; Republican and Dem's and most heartily our President and his wife. Please someone…make a "good & famous" (be a hero or hero's) name for yourself and get these guys/gals. We want hearings and justice. If we did that we could clear up our deficits quickly!
Dirty rat, selling out his own people.
He's jewish you idiots. He is supporting the mosque because this freaking mosque isn't even at ground zero. you should have spent researching why republicans are spending more time attackign this mosque then trying to get funding for 9/11 responders. Who voted against funding for first responders???? Was that bloomberg? You imbeciles
That's what I am talking about, my little paragon of civil discourse. The number one tenet of the Muslim "religion" is the extermination of the Jews.
How is it that Mahmoud Ahmahdinejad can urge annihilation of Israel and not catch it from "moderate Muslims,"
you know, the "good people," not to be confused with the Jayheads? Want to know how the remarks pass? They pass because extinction of the Jews is both politically and theologically correct in Iran. Like I say, Bloomberg sells out his own people.
Frazier does a great analysis of Bloombergs possible motives. It's linked along with "captions" of Bloomberg and Obama's "breakfast meeting":
http://jewpoint.blogspot.com/2010/09/mosque-bloom...
As soon as the US is deep enough in debt (because of their own undeveloped budgeting skills), they all decide to call it quits and put their money elsewhere. Before you know it China will own parts of the US as a settlement and people like Bloomberg will have moved to their new home abroad. Go debtsettlement.com !
Realy nice,thanks alot.
