Ace of Spades On The Ground Zero Mosque: "It's a Symbol"

I'm glad to see someone from the Center Right blogosphere is getting pissed off at this.

From Ace:

Outrage: Muslims Building Super-Mosque At Ground Zero

Remember the guy who murdered his parents and then pleaded for mercy, on the grounds he was an orphan?

He just emailed me to say, "This is shameless."

Plans to bring what one critic calls a "monster mosque" to the site of the old Burlington Coat Factory building, at a cost expected to top $100 million, moved along for months without a peep. All of a sudden, even members of the community board that stupidly green-lighted the mosque this month are tearing their hair out.

Paul Sipos, member of Community Board 1, said a mosque is a fine idea -- someplace else.

"If the Japanese decided to open a cultural center across from Pearl Harbor, that would be insensitive," Sipos told me. "If the Germans opened a Bach choral society across from Auschwitz, even after all these years, that would be an insensitive setting. I have absolutely nothing against Islam. I just think: Why there?"

Why, indeed.

A rally against the mosque is planned for June 6, D-Day, by the human-rights group Stop Islamicization of America. Executive director Pamela Geller said, "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? Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn't dream of such an insult. It's a stab in the eye of America."

Called Cordoba House, the mosque and center is the brainchild of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. Executive director Daisy Khan insists it's staying put.

"For us, it's a symbol, a platform that will give voice to the silent majority of Muslims who suffer at the hands of extremists. A center will show that Muslims will be part of rebuilding lower Manhattan," said Khan, adding that Cordoba will be open to everyone.

It's a symbol for me, too, Khan. It's symbolic of how there is a lot of undeveloped space in Lower Manhattan, now had for discount prices, because a group of Muslims made a smoking crater of one of the world's most densely populated places and killed 2,996 people.

It's a symbol of the old rules of dhimmitude, whereby dhimmis' churches and buildings would be, by law, restricted to be shorter than Muslims', thereby symbolically affirming Islamic dominance. Except here, the dominance was first established by flying bomb filled with jet fuel.

In case you weren't sure of what the symbolism was intended to be, Khan's eager to remind you. The super-mosque -- the world's largest Temple of Murder -- is set to open on the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 -- September 11, 2011.

Do I believe his crap about this being a voice of moderation? No, not at all.

Not one of the morons on that community board, people that LIVE DOWN THERE, could be bothered to educate themselves about the realities of Islam so they would have a clue what this is really all about? These people call themselves New Yorkers? When did they move there, last week? Were they all 3 years old in 2001 and don't remember what happened and who did it? Or was it just too damn much trouble to care? So when some taqiyya snake oil salesman and his craven bitch of a wife came along with with their "new discourse" kumbaya song and dance they just bobbleheaded it right on through? And now they're having second thoughts? Wait'll they hear the verbal tar-and-feathering they're going to get on the 25th.

NO. MOSQUE. ANYWHERE. DOWNTOWN. PERIOD.

rra . ..the twelve morons that voted to permit this monstrosity are not your average Joe from NY . . .

via Atlas: 911 MOSQUE COMMUNITY BOARD MEETING MAY 25 -BE THERE!

Last week, the finance committee, composed of 12 people, voted unanimously in support the mosque after Imam Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan, made a presentation, no one knew about it, no announcement was made. The matter will now go to the full committee (more than 40 people). The full committee will be meeting on May 25.

WE NEED YOU ALL TO ATTEND TO VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION.

CB1 has no legal authority. Their “approval” or disapproval is in no way binding on the matter, but

the media will be there

and we need to send a message to Rauf, Khan and Mayor Bloomberg:

This is wrong.

This will do terrible harm to the 9/11 family community.
5/25 CB #1 Monthly Meeting – 6:00 PM
Location: Three Legged Dog Art and Technology Center
80 Greenwich Street (at Rector Street)

So logic!

What's next? SS annual memorial ceremony in YAD VASHEM - Jerusalem? Transferring the "Human Rights Center" from Switzerland to Auschwitz?

Ah!! Put all of them on the Alcatraz Island ! Plenty room over there! with a little work, the Light House could be easily modified into a MINERATE !!!

Spit! Spit! Spit!

The REAL PROBLEM is not they they want to build this there (after all there is a mosque PRECISELY where Solomon and Herod built the ACTUAL TEMPLES).

The real problem is the PC born STUPIDITY of Americans to fail to see both the what and the why.

This is a HUGE NATION. Manhattan has other property. The avowed purpose of this by Imam Khan has already been totally destroyed by the reaction of the 9/11 families who will be well and properly motivated.

It will not be a symbol of communities coming together, but of the superiority and religious replacement theology and complex of a compulsive aggressive Islamism.

Let's just have LA's most reform congregation build a community center in Mecca so we can all work together.

I say: Not quite. In my opinion, the purpose will not be totally destroyed until we make sure that Mosque is not built.

THAT MOSQUE CAN NOT BE THERE.
