“It was with the utmost respect…that we placed granite markers…to more permanently commemorate them.”
But that doesn’t matter to these supremacists. New York City must abide by Islamic law and remove the names…or else.

“Push to have sacred Muslim names removed from NYC sidewalk,” by Melkorka Licea, New York Post, March 18, 2017:
Don’t rest your soles here!
The city must remove 11 names revered by Muslims that are etched on downtown sidewalks — because it’s an insult that people are trampling on them, critics are demanding.
“It is a hate crime and must be prosecuted,” Alina Nisar wrote on an online petition calling for the removal of the name Mohammad from the 200 names in black granite along Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall, installed in 2003 to honor every ticker tape parade to travel down the corridor.
To many Muslims, trampling over sacred names — such as the religion’s prophet Muhammad — is an insult.
“Walking on an important symbol is a sign of disrespect,” said Ibrahim Hooper, the spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
“As Americans might view walking on an American flag or a grave disrespectful, in Islamic culture, the prophets are some of the most important things in the world.”
But the engraving — located on Broadway between Rector Street and Exchange Place — isn’t for the prophet at all, it’s for Mohammad Reza Pahlevi, the former Shah of Iran who was a close ally to Uncle Sam.
Pahlevi’s name was installed to commemorate a City Hall reception and parade for the ruler on Nov. 21, 1949, as part of the Big Apple’s “Canyon of Heroes.”
“It was with the utmost respect…that we placed granite markers…to more permanently commemorate them,” said Jessica Lappin, President of the Alliance for Downtown New York.
It’s unclear why there is a movement afoot now — as opposed to 14 years ago — to remove that name, and 10 others.
“It really hurts the feelings of people of Muslim faith,” said Yasir Bhai, the treasurer for One Nation US, who helped create a separate petition late last year that now has over 700 signatures, they said.
Other revered names the group would like removed from the sidewalk include Ibrahim, Ahmad, Hassan and Ali.
Those names appear for the former President of Sudan Ibrahim Abboud, the former President of Guinea Ahmed Sékou Touré, the former king of Morocco King Hassan II and the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaguat Ali Khan.
A Downtown Alliance spokeswoman estimated it would cost taxpayers roughly $10,000 to remove each name totaling $110,000 for all 11….

Get these disgusting names removed from the sidewalk, because it is an insult to every decent and freedom-loving person to have to step over them when walking on this sidewalk!
I don’t want to see the name “Muhammad” anywhere in my daily surroundings……

I wonder how you remove the names without violating some sacred Islamic dictate. Would you jack-hammer Muhammad? How about wet sand blasting? Acid? Maybe you have to dig up the entire sidewalk and hope nothing breaks.

Get their bloody names jackhammered out and take all materials out to the dumpsite of the World Trade Centers, put them in a vat of acid and salute the remains of the 3000 from 9/11 while they are melting. The 3000 and their families may rest easier.

This is just one example of why Muslims should stay in their own part of the world. Their demands will not dissipate until they conform the country they inhabit to resemble the countries they left.

Disrespect muslims to their faces, it has a much better effect. It would be nice if the qur’an was available in two ply rolls so it could be placed near every toilet so it to could be respected for what it is. Honour mutgonad, police beat upon him, by naming your dog after him.

I keep my eye out for korans at the goodwill and second hand shops. I intend to take them out of circulation whenever seen, but to date, I see only the lords bibles. I’m probably not the only one who views the koran and what it represents in 2017 USA as so offensive it is an intolerable inclusion into our otherwise peaceful society. But to the readers out there whom may be in other locations where powers that be are providing korans through secondary outlets, please buy them, and remove them from circulation permanently.

Somebody sent me one in the mail, as soon as I found out what it was, I tore the book in half (front half and back half) and tossed it out into the back yard. It separated into about a dozen pieces, it was night, the next day, somehow it ended up in my dog’s doo-doo bucket!

“To many Muslims, trampling over sacred names — such as the religion’s prophet Muhammad — is an insult.”
No, the amount of hatred for non believers found all through the Quran, that is an insult.

So I guess when they watched a mohmd Ali boxing fight they got their feelings hurt every time the man whom wore the prophets name was punched in the face? The Ali years must have been real tough on them.
Dear muslims; stop crying about it, you have the liberty to leave the USA if you don’t like it here. We don’t care about your tears, or your sensitive child like feelings.

Tell ya what…why not KEEP THEM THERE and HAVE THE MOST FAMOUS ZIONISTS NAMES ALSO carved into the ground…and some Leaders from the United States too! That way, they ALL can be trampled on!!! But that won’t happen right? There should be nothing but RESPECT for ALL PEOPLE! INCLUDING Muslims!! If the Muslim community is offended by this because their leaders are being trampled on foot by passerby’s then REMOVE them out of curtesy and respect! American’s who haven’t woke up to the 100% FACT that the so called “war on radical Islam” “war on terror” is TOTALLY MANUFACTURED by the United States (CIA), Israel (Mossad) and Great Britian (Mi6) along with help from the Vatican and Intelligence services of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan….who ALL follow the Zionist “cabal” running the world…responsible for 911, the FAKE “war on radical Islam” and continuing wars in the Middle East for the “Greater Israel Project” and for OIL POWER and CONTROL of the Middle East. WAKE UP America!!! RESPECT ALL PEOPLE and DO NOT Listen to controlled MASS MEDIA (who is OWNED AND OPERATED by these FOOLS) but LISTEN to independent News that is NOT under their control!!! Hello!!!!

Or throw acid on it,… or burn it,… or cane it,… or stone it ?!!

If they are so very offended then they should pay for it themselves. Nothing makes these people happy and EVERYTHING makes them mad. You can’t win if they are EXCLUDED they demand inclusion if they are included suddenly you included them or honored them in the wrong way.
So I suppose once again they would rather appease these tyrants and spend money on doing as they are told even though that amount of money could be used in so many ways to HELP people by all means honor and obey Muslims who cares about America’s homeless America’s veterans of war or parent less children or organizations created for aide and true humanitarian causes that certainly really need 110,00 for the good of all.
Muslims in their selfishness and feeling of superiority would rather see tax payers money wasted on destroying a monument meant to honor them!!!

The city must remove 11 names revered by Muslims that are etched on
downtown sidewalks — because it’s an insult that people are trampling on
them, critics are demanding.

To keep people from walking on those names, just install urinals there. Problem solved.
