#1 The design looks to me like a representation of the twin towers, smashed and falling down. New Yorkers are crazy if they allow this to be built. They may be.

I especially like that star on the ground in the fifth picture that everyone will get to walk on. Isn't that the muslim world's biggest insult? Is that a US star or a star of David representation....or a combination of both?

(i.e. " The first was the floor mosaic at the front door to Baghdad's Rashid Hotel depicting the first President Bush. Its location meant visitors to the hotel - frequented by top Baath regime officials and visiting VIPs - had to step on George Bush Snr's likeness, in revenge for alleged "war crimes" committed during the 1991 liberation of Kuwait.")

I personally think Western civ has lost its mind...or its nerve. Very sad.

#4 Rauf's book is titled 'A Call to Prayer from the WTC Rubble: Islamic Dawah from the Heart of America Post 911.'

This rather chaotic design is perhaps the closest possible architectural approximation of the WTC ruins, so he will make his book's title come true, literally.

#7 I think it's kind of cool looking, actually - but so abstract that there is almost no way the person designing it thinks it will ever get built.
