Well HERE's a creative response to the Mosque at ground zero!

This is good to see. I fear it may be too little, too late at this stage. But good to see nonetheless. 

I'm going on the assumption that this... thing... is going to be built and that it's a fait accompli. Which means the fight changes from stopping it, to what do you -do- about it once it is built? 

Well - one idea is to make it difficult to extremely uncomfortable in a social way for any muslim to be seen going to and using that mosque, for one. Stage daily protests. Have people with cameras (from cell phones to more obvious camcorders) constantly filming who goes in and out of the place. Subject them to ridicule on a constant basis. Start up a restaurant across the street specializing in BBQ Pork ribs. 

And build things like the above. ANYthing to offend, disturb, or outrage the muslims using that site to the point where not enough use it so that it shuts down from lack of use and/or money coming in. 

Go after the Imam responsible for this. Subject him to personal ridicule. Make him the object of jokes. Investigate all his finances. Invade his personal space and ask difficult questions. As Saul Alinsky said in "Rules for Radicals": 

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Expect a lot more of this in the coming months. It's just getting started. 

And BTW - there are over 50 mosques in the New York City area alone already. And I'm not suggesting doing that to any of them. Just this one.

(Also BTW, though I approve of the idea in the original post, as a practical matter it's really not going to work. I think there are ordnances against serving alcohol within a certain amount of feet from -any- place of worship. But I could be wrong. On the other hand, maybe they'll get around that by not serving alcohol?)
