"Cordoba House"

Postby Paphitis » Thu Sep 16, 2010 3:06 pm

This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate
statement that I've read on this issue.

Statement on the Proposed Cordoba House Mosque at Ground Zero.

There should be no mosque at Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia . The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.


The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them don't understand that Cordoba House is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba , Spain the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolised their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the worlds third-largest mosque complex.


Today, some of the Mosques backers insist this term is being used to "symbolise interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in
the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our
historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.
Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious
toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more
than 100 mosques already exist in New York City .. Meanwhile, there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia . In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca . And they lecture us about tolerance.


If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such a campaign.


We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years. Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million mega mosque will be built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise attack in American history.

Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba House refuse to reveal all their funding sources.
America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive
designed to undermine and destroy our civilisation. Sadly, too many of our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.
No mosque.
No self deception.
No surrender.
The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.


Interesting perspective!

Do you have a link to the original site you quote?

That said Cordoba House is not a Mosque but an inter faith community centre, with a Muslim prayer room, so this leads to the question in the quoted article: why allow a mosque in in downtown NYC but not a Church in Saudi or even non-Muslims in Mecca? But that is a smoke screen as there are mosques in Manhattan closer to ground Zero than Cordoba House see here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/1 ... 12229.html

I think it is stupid to find logic in religion.

Also, the Muslim attacks were "in retaliation" to the Christian Imperialists who has been attacking Muslim countries for centuries.

Just a small detail people choose to "forget".

Islam is just the one weapon they can use to unite people against a common enemy, it is not about religion, it is about money, it always is...
