A Brit’s perspective on the Ground Zero Mosque
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 20:21
“In case you haven’t heard, there’s a plan afoot to build a 13-story Islamic Center and Mosque a few yards from Ground Zero in New York – a plan that’s been enthusiastically welcomed by politicians and civic leaders, eager to show how tolerant they are (at other people’s expense)…
The organization behind this scheme is called the Cordoba Initiative, and the building is to be called “Cordoba House†and this is because Cordoba, or COR-doh-ba, is the city in southern Spain where Muslims built their first great mosque at the start of, and as a symbol of, their conquest of Spain.
The Ground Zero mosque is intended to serve the same purpose in America.
Building mosques on conquered sacred ground is standard practice – it’s what Islam has always done to assert its supremacy – and that is what’s happening here.
And of course they know how insulting it is, how offensive it is – are you kidding me? Why do you think they chose a site as close as possible to Ground Zero? Or do you think that that was just an accident?
And they also know that once it’s built it will be there forever, as a permanent affront to all Americans, gloating in triumph and a major bridgehead in the on-going stealth jihad.
That’s how the Muslim world will see it, and that’s how they’ll be encouraged to see it – and to be fair to them, that’s exactly what it will be, confirming what they always suspected: that America is a soft country, a decadent country, crippled by political correctness, confused and guilt-ridden, with no backbone and no pride.
They plan to open it next year, on September 11th – the tenth anniversary of the atrocity.
Is that tasteless enough for you? ”

Proposed Muslim Centre near 9/11 Site Protested in NYC

“Is it disrespectful to the citizens of New York City to build a Muslim centre? Atlas Shrugged blogger & “birther” Pamela Geller doesn’t want a proposed centre/mosque built near Ground Zero, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg does.”

Does it really matter whether you call it a community centre or a mosque? Sure it does. A community center sounds so…nice…and innocent.
But first, forgive me for this little detour: yeah, it looks like many Americans do object to a proposed centre/mosque built near Ground Zero – does the fact that some of those objecting are “birthers” make their objections to this “community center” any less valid? And will politicians hear those concerns or dismiss them as the ranting of “birthers”?
Tip: if you want to minimize the impact of a group that disagrees with you, come up with a name to mock them and do everything you can to ridicule them. This way you won’t have to actually answer any questions.
(And no, I’m not going to waste your time discussing the “birther” issue, it doesn’t even matter which side of that little shouting match I lean towards. Mostly I’m just getting tired of the name calling. I was tired of it in first grade, and it’s especially tiring when adults use that juvenile tactic rather than making a case for their opposing view.)
Now back to my initial comment:
How stupid do they think we are?
Oh, Gee, Golly, isn’t it Swell that this nice Egyptian Guy is getting into “community development” and helping our city? He’s not trying to Islamicize anybody. Gosh, no – he’s a “community developer”. Maybe he’ll help us fundamentally change America.

And, regarding the “community center”:
“Look, we’re building this big, beautiful statue of a horse. Go ahead, drag it inside your city. It’s a monument. See? We really can get along. You’re big and strong, relax, you don’t need to worry – why would you think you need to worry about a statue of a horse? Look at it, what a beautiful monument…”
BTW: you’re not paranoid if someone really is out to get you.
