May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Geert Wilders Speech at New York's Ground Zero Mosque (11-09-2010)



This should be required viewing for every Elitist, Democrat, Statist, Liberal that just doesn't get why the people know this mosque isn't the right thing to do.

Hamas Supporting Interfaith Bridge Builder Constantly Slams US

The alleged interfaith "bridge builder"  Feisal Abdul Rauf , the face of the Mosque of Triumph to be built near ground zero, is a bad actor and liar. I covered just some of his lies here


He said while in Australia in 2006:
"We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims. You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This had been documented by the United Nations." He went on to say: "The West needs to see themselves through the eyes of the Arab and Muslim world, and when you do, you will see the predicament that exists within the Muslim community."


This is the knucklehead that is building religious and ideological bridges between Islam and the West?

Voices against the Mosque of Triumph in NY

Those Intolerant Americans

Time magazine, that used to be a news magazine, has it's latest propaganda piece out, claiming, without any evidence, that American citizens against the Triumphal Cordoba NY City Mosque, must be Islamophobes. It follows with how the various Statist government entities, the ruling elite and their propagandists in the Jurassic Press, would say such a thing. If you're for traditional marriage and family, you're a homophobe. Believe in limited government and low taxes you're a Nazi. (Nazi by the way was a socialist party the had high taxes and lots of government, just like the Dems.) If you disapprove of Obama's programs, you're a racist. So of course if you criticize Muslims you're an Islamophobe.

I suppose as a matter of fair play we could say they are Cristophobes, Heterophobes, and Libertyphobes.

Time magazine tsk tsk tsk'd that about 46% of Americans think Islam has a propensity for violence. Jeeze, where'd we get that idea? USS Cole, Lockerby, Achille Lauro, 9/11, Pentagon, Embassies in Africa, to just name a few. Can't remember any Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos, or Christians doing anything like that. Seems like Muslims have a lock on that market.

In a city with about a hundred mosques already, the Islamists want another huge monstrosity, that is supposed to open to everyone. Here's a difference. If you go to a mosque anywhere and are not Muslim, you have to enter by a specific door, not during prayer time, and from various reports, not so readily accepted. The NY Mosque of Triumph is going to be different? Anybody can walk in like any other religious building? Probably not.  In Christian Churches, one can just walk right in. When I was in Asia, I just walked right in to several Buddhist Temples. Jewish Synagogues I've just had to put on a yarmulke.

We have to ask Time magazine, if nearly 70% of Americans think the location of the NY mosque is inappropriate, and speaks to intolerance, why are there not reports of violence against Muslims here? You can bet if a Christian church or a Synagogue were going to be built in Mecca, the streets would see riots and non-Muslims being killed. Time should not tell this lie, and should not lecture us on intolerance while giving a pass to the intolerant Islamic countries. They should be reporting on honor killings, murder, rape and torture that go on in this country by Muslims, but it's okay because they are Muslims, it's part of their belief system.

Shame on Time magazine.

NY Mosque a Zionist Plot?

Here's an alternative view of the Cordoba Mosque to be built near ground zero. From the Egyptian newspaper Al Masry Al Youm, here's the view of some Islamists, expressed by an Sunni institution, Al Azhar:
A number of Al Azhar ulema expressed their opposition to building a mosque near [where] the events of September 11 [occurred], convinced that it is “a conspiracy to confirm a clear connection between the strikes of September [11] and Islam.” Dr. ‘Abd al-Mu‘ti Bayumi, a member of the Islamic Research Academy [of Al Azhar] told Al Masry Al Youm that he rejects the building of any mosque in this area [Ground Zero], because the “devious mentality” desires to connect these events [of 9/11] with Islam, though he maintains that Islam is innocent of this accusation. Instead, it is a “Zionist conspiracy,” which many are making use of to harm the religion. Likewise, Dr. Amna Nazir, professor of doctrine and philosophy at Al Azhar, expressed her rejection that a mosque be built near the World Trade Center, saying: “Building a mosque on this rubble indicates bad intention — even if we wished to shut our eyes, close our minds, and insist on good will. I hope it is a sincere step, and not a new conspiracy against Islam and Muslims.” 
 This is from what may be the best article I've read on the ground zero mosque controversy yet.

Those Horrible Little American Citizens

From the woman that was the first to call TEA Party participants Nazis, we now have calls from her for an investigation about the Mosque of Triumph to be built near Ground Zero, costing $100 Million. An investigation about who's financing the mosque? No, who's financing the opposition to it. How dare 70% of those stupid little citizens oppose a national insult.

Nancy Peolsi:
"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded."... "How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City."

What she and other Democrats don't understand is grassroots feelings and ideas, a welling up of sentiment and an exercise of freedom of regular people agreeing on something. They are totally top down control freaks, and if Liberals oppose anything, they designate a leader, use the funds they have (usually tax payer dollars) and force what they want on others. They don't understand the people. They don't present an argument for their ideas and policies.

What they do well is name calling. The newest is if you oppose the Mosque of Triumph you're and Islamophobe. Add to that, if you oppose Obama's destructive policies you're a racist. If you want the traditional institution of marriage, between a man and a woman, you're a homophobe.

It's sad for our county that a person like this, that detests liberty and capitalism, is third in line for the presidency of the United States. Then again we have a president and vice president with the same view. Interesting that about 70% of the people oppose the mosque, about 70% opposed ObamaCare, about 70% opposed the stimulus packages, about 70% oppose the latest financial regulatory legislation. Not surprising congress has an 11% approval rating.

A History of Sense and Sensitivity

The argument for the NY mosque is that it's a freedom of religion, first amendment thing. Islam is a combination of State rule and Sharia Law, with little reference given to salvation, love, hope and charity. It's primarily a secular movement with the object of subjugating everyone on the planet to their rule; it has little to do with religion. The second observation is the first amendment states the government will not establish a State Religion, which is opposite the Islamist goal; but it does not say any religion can put up a building anywhere. Zoning and all that.

 In 1984 Cardinal Macharski, archbishop of Cracow, announced to the world that a Carmelite convent would be built on the grounds of Auschwitz. The convent would be converted from what was originally a theater, that was turned into the warehouse where the gas was stored that would eventually be used to slaughter about 1,100,000 of which 90% were Jews, the rest about 83,000 Poles, 19,000 gypsies, and 12,000 Soviet prisoners of war. 


Jews found this extremely offensive, and from the announcement to 1993, there were a lot of arguments between Catholics and Jews. Poles\Catholics said they were also exterminated there, and Jews said not to such an extent as they had been; that the site was sacred ground to them. An agreement was made that the convent would be moved off site within two years. The Catholic Church and the Polish government dragged their feet for several years, but eventually they did get the convent moved. It was wrong of them to delay, and some nasty anti-Semitic things were said by some of the Catholic Church leadership, but still the agreement was fulfilled. The details of the story here


The lesson here is respect for the emotions and values of others. The mosque is a disrespectful, even a blatant finger in the eye of America. The Islamofascist Feisal Abdul Rauf  that is heading up the Cordoba Mosque project is connected to terrorist groups, and has said America is an "accessory" to the 9/11 attack, and refuses to say that Hamas is a terrorist organization. With that background he says he's a bridge builder between Islam and the West; indeed, the Bridge of Lies.  Some background on this character here. In addition to being tied to terrorist groups, he has published a book What's Right with Islam Is What's Right with America, but outside America it's title is A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post 9/11. A "dawa" is a stealth jihad; an aggressive promotion and marketing of Islam with the goal of conquering America. The mosque is just that, and only that. Rauf's book was published by two groups financed and supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Society of North America and the International Institute of Islamic Thought. They and other affiliated terrorist jihad organizations are bent on "destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house". 


A bridge builder indeed. He's using his 'Bridge of Lies' to destroy America, liberty, and Western Civilization. If Islam were the "religion of peace" that it claims to be, it would take a page from what the Catholic Church did in Auschwitz. They exercised good sense and sensitivity.
