Mosque at Ground Zero

[Logan Darklighter]

Bret Stevens wrote in the WSJ:

Opponents … argue that building the center
so close to Ground Zero is an insult to the memory of the victims of
9/11. Germany has spent six decades in conspicuous and mainly sincere
atonement for Nazi crimes. But it surely has no plans to showcase the
tolerant society it has become by building a cultural center down the
road from Auschwitz. Japan is no doubt equally disinclined to finance a
Shinto shrine in the vicinity of the Pearl Harbor memorial.

The SIOA website states:

People need to know history in order to understand Islam
and what they are really out to achieve. At its height, the Islamic
Empire covered more of the earth than the Roman Empire. The Ottoman
Empire ended in 1924 and the Muslim Brotherhood came about only four
years later. This is no coincidence; it was established to bring back
the world domination that Islam once had. Aside from Islam conquering a
huge part of the world, Islam also conquered most of Spain in the year
711 from Tariq ibn Zayid’s invasion and held it through 1248; it
controlled parts of Spain until its full liberation in 1492. Spain was
renamed Andalusia. So why is this of importance?

The name of the organization planning the mosque is the “Cordoba
Initiative,” and this name itself is a full affront to Americans.
Cordoba was the seat of the Islamic Caliphate that ruled Spain and the
name is often used today by Islamic militants when recalling the glory
of the Islamic Empire from the years when they occupied Spain.

The great mosque of Cordoba is built over Visigothic Spain’s grandest
Cathedral. Risistnet explains:

As a manifestation of Islamic domination and
expansionism, mosques have frequently been placed on the sites of the
holy places of other religions. The Al-Aqsa Mosque, built on top of the
Temple of the Jewish people, which is located in Jerusalem, is the most
famous example. Many famous churches have been turned into mosques,
including the Aya Sofya Mosque in Istanbul, which until the Islamic
conquest of Constantinople of 1453 was the grandest church in
Christendom. The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus was, before the Islamic
conquest, the Church of St. John the Baptist. Historian Sita Ram Goel
has estimated that over two thousand mosques in India were built on the
sites of Hindu temples.
