The Ground Zero Mosque Design: What Does It Look Like To You?

From Atlas Shrugs:



Gzm star
The Islamic supremacists get more bold and naked in their motive.

GZM rendering
GZM floor


I thought this Anonymous commenter summed it up best:

-High rise with holes punched in it
-Bent and twisted support beams
-Irregular shards of glass
-Stark whiteness to signify the "purity" of the act committed in the name of a "superior truth"
-Busted up Stars of David and Pentagons everywhere
-Escalator - boots stomping on a broken Star of David/Pentagon combo
-Spiteful disregard for complimentary aesthetics - sticks out like a sore thumb in your face, and fuck all the surrounding structures
-In three words - Arrogance, superiority, mockery
-In other words, how could it be any more appropriate as a symbol of the perceived imminent downfall of freedom itself.

Pastorius,

Is that really what its going to look like? Based on just its looks alone, I wouldn't want it anywhere near where I lived, even if it wasn't something being built for the Stealth Jihad. It looks like an eyesore, that's what it looks like. The front of that building looks like something design by someone on LSD and so does that one room inside. I can't put my finger on it, but that thing is ugly.

It looks like a building full of holes that a plane has crashed into. And the facade looks like a crumbling building with building pieces falling. Even the floors have holes in them cause the whole thing is wrecked and about to collapse on itself.

And the woman is not wearing a full body shroud, or a head scarf? Can she be on the men's floor or is someone going to come and shoo her away and threaten her?

American Rose,

You're Right. They aren't doing much to calm our fears, are they?

American Rose said...

They're brazen, Damien, like ignorant thugs.

Maybe I am hallucinating, but it looks like the facade is made up of multiple Magen David's???!!! (Star of David) - what on earth?

I actually don't think this is going to end up being finished.

If the unions all play it right, this will end up as a big hole in the ground when it comes to a halt.

American Rose and Anonymous see it the way I see it, and the way Pamela sees it.

At the outset, the facade looks like a crumbling building. When you look closer, it appears the building is crumbling into a series of cascading Stars of David.

These people need to be bitch-slapped.

Pastorius said...

Epa, you know what you said, the other day, about needing to take it outside. This is an example of where someone has pushed it too far.

But really, I don't think it should even go outside. Just smack 'em down, right there on camera, for the whole world to see.

Sam Kinison style.

Epaminondas said...

That's what the hole in the ground will be.

They could have sold to Trump
They could have moved

The politician locally could have counselled them on what was prudent and could have been rewarded politically.

Leave it as a bankrupting example 4 stories DEEP

Actually guys, I'm not defending the people who want to build this thing. But after thinking about it for awhile. It only vaguely resembles a crumbling building and it doesn't look like one that a plane crashed into. The twin Towers actually looked nothing like that right after the planes crashed into them. There was just one big hole that was visible caused each plane. It only vaguely resembles that. So you can see why a lot of people might not see it that way. I only saw the vague resemblance after it was pointed out to me. It is still an eyesore through.

The supposed designer has a Lebanese surname and is noted online for only one design of an eatery. Apparently shares professional addy with El-Gamal's SoHo business which was evicted for non-payment of rent. The designer's surname is shared by a shyster physician in NY with a list of complaints for molesting patients.


This design is clearly intentional provocation for an emotional response.

As for the carpenters unions, they've publicly called out the lack of permits pulled for work done to 45-47 Park Place since 2000. The building doesn't even possess an occupancy permit for the current mosque operating in the structure.

The ultimate Rorschach Test.

The fascade is full of holes - just like the reasons they gave as to why it should be built.

All they need to complete it is the back halves of a couple airplanes sticking out near the top.

It looks like perforated and falling crosses, pentagons, and stars of David.

AvivaSara,

They've done far worse than insult us, unfortunately.
