The Great Goodwill Mosque of Lower Manhattan
Have you been paying attention to the controversy in New York over the building of a 13 story Mosque near Ground Zero?Islam has a rich history of building Mosques at the sites of great Muslim conquests. The organization behind this $100 million dollar Mosque is called the Cordoba Initiative. The Mosque is to be called the Cordoba House. When the Muslims conquered Spain they took a huge Christian cathedral and turned it into the Cordoba Mosque. So the very group planning this Mosque at Ground Zero is named after a Mosque built at the scene of a previous Muslim conquest. There are other such mosques: When Muslims conquered Jerusalem they built the Al-Aqsa Mosque. When Muslims conquered Constantinople (now Istanbul) they transformed the St. Sophia Basilica into a Mosque. There are reports that they plan to open this Mosque next year on September 11, 2011. Sounds like a schedule stretch to me. This Mosque will be nothing less than a symbol to Muslims of their supremacy over the people of New York and America ... a reminder of a great victory and a promise of more victories over the infidels to come. Even if this mosque is being built with the purest of intentions - which I don't believe for a second - it would be in incredibly poor taste to select such a time and place for it. It fits right in with the strange design of the memorial in Pennsylvania. Will Zero build a minaret at the Pentagon? Posted by: Glenmore 2010-07-26 |
