911 Mega Mosque in Israel Media
New Yorkers Plan to Fight Mosque Near Ground Zero Israel National NewsA growing rage is gripping New Yorkers over plans to build a 13-story mosque just two blocks away from the site of the worst terror attack ever perpetrated on U.S. soil.
“What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack?” said Pam Geller, who heads a protest group called Stop the Islamicization of America. “Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise wouldn't dream of such an insult. It's a stab in the eye of America,” she told The Times.
The plans by the American Society for Muslim Advancement call for construction of the mosque and community center at the former Burlington Coat factory, badly damaged in the attack by radical Muslim terrorists on September 11, 2001. The building has stood empty since “9/11” – but the group now wants to rebuild it as a major Islamic center instead.
Daisy Khan, director of the Society, explained that the group wants to “create a platform by which the voices of the mainstream and silent majority of Muslims will be amplified. A center of this scale and magnitude will do that.”
The center, to be located at 43-45 Park Place, would include a mosque on the top floor, large enough to accommodate some 2,000 Muslims for Friday prayers, overlooking Ground Zero. It would also would feature a 500-seat theater, a swimming pool and a basketball court.
Project director Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said the mosque and Muslim-led community center would be called Cordoba House. According to Geller, who also writes the blog Atlas Shrugs, the name refers to the historic period in which the Islamic Caliphate in Cordoba, Spain, ruled much of Europe and non-Muslims lived as second-class citizens under Islamic rule. Rauf has reportedly stated he wants to attract converts to the Muslim community with by exploiting the proposed center's proximity to Ground Zero.
An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
That's what conquering nations do....attack and destroy a country's iconic building...and then put up their own building in place of it. The meaning then is....Muslims conquer Americans?? Islam defeats Christianity? Remember when American troops knocked down Saddam's statue? They weren't allowed to put up an American flag there, because it would be taken as America conquering Iraq.
