New York (CNN) -- Donald Trump's offer to buy the lower Manhattan site where a Muslim group plans to build an Islamic community center is just a "pathetic" attempt to get publicity, said the lawyer for one of the land owners.

Real estate mogul Trump made the offer Thursday in a letter to Hisham Elzanaty, an investor in the controversial Islamic center site. But Elzanaty does not consider Trump's proposal a real offer, attorney Wolodymyr Starosolsky said Thursday night.

Elzanaty has received other offers, but has declined them, the lawyer said. Elzanaty thinks the property might be worth more down the road, so he might hold on to it. Trump had offered 25 percent more than the current owners paid for it.

Elzanaty owns more than 51 percent of the property, and has no more than three partners, the lawyer said.

Trump's offer stipulated that, if a mosque is to be built, it will be located at least five blocks further from the World Trade Center site. He also said he would pay cash for the site, with an immediate closing.

The site is two blocks from where the World Trade Center stood before the September 11 terrorist attacks.

"I am making this offer as a resident of New York and citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, to only get worse," Trump wrote.

"Hopefully, something good can happen!" he concluded.
Trump, who starred in the U.S. reality TV show "The Apprentice," has invested in New York real estate for decades. His management company, The Trump Group, owns a number of high-rises in Manhattan and operates casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, as well as several golf courses.

The proposed Islamic center, known as Park51, is slated to include a variety of facilities, including a prayer room, a performing arts center, gym, a swimming pool and other public spaces.

Critics of the center say it is an affront to survivors of the September 11 attacks.

Supporters of the project, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, cite First Amendment rights and the need to express religious tolerance.

Yet more proof this is not just an exercise of civil rights under Amendment 1.

The Imam is attempting to blackmail/intimidate Americans by saying that if the mosque is not built right there, there will be trouble from other Muslims. I'm gonna say that if the hairballs want to fight, they came to the right place...the bridges are burned, there's nothing to salvage, why doesn't this piece of scat show his hand so we can cut it off and shove it down his throat ? There is no 'good faith' bargaining here, no quarter being offered, no 'consideration' being shown. Not only is this is going to escalate, it SHOULD escalate...there needs to be resolution one way or the other.

They are not going to move it, it's about making a statement to the world. They believe that Islam will take over the world.

[sconnyhunter]

To continue denying requests to move the center to another location only continues to prove that ISLAM is NOT a religion for the masses. It is not a benevolent religion, but is instead a form of government, and a way of living life.

To all Muslims who have VOLUNTARILY EMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES. I say this, here we have our own culture, it is up to YOU to assimilate into OUR culture, not to force yours on us.

I'm still waiting for the outrage from the "good" Muslims for what happened on 9-11.

Our own Constitution will be our undoing. Don't get me wrong, I will die defending it, however these Muslims know how to work our freedoms to their advantage. On 911 a local community of these rats were burning the American flag out on the street corner. That is the price we pay for freedom. I don't get it!

I agree 100%... For years my late wife ran a transportation company and had about 40 Muslims working for her, they are good a using our laws to twist into their agendas.

Today I work with a few engineers that are Muslims and I will not trust one as far as I can throw him, and they know it!
It could be my infidel sticker on my truck!

It appears there is a connection between, not the Imam, but one of the owners (?) and the 9/11 hijackers. The plot thickens....
