EDITORIAL: A monument to terrorism--The Ground Zero Mosque celebrates Islam by dividing America
The Washington Times ^ | August 19, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 08/19/2010 4:47:43 PM PDT by jazusamo

The Ground Zero Mosque project already has failed in its intended outreach mission, and its backers now seem to be committed to alienating as many Americans as possible.

The latest galling revelation is that the cash-strapped Cordoba Initiative is willing to accept funding for the mosque from overseas sources, including Saudi Arabia and Iran. This was not necessarily something the project's backers wanted known. In 2008, the Cordoba Initiative raised only $18,255, which generated questions why the group believed it could undertake a $100 million project. If the developers had a funding source already lined up, they were keeping it a secret. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf had always said that the effort would be underwritten by donations raised in the United States. But earlier this year, he told a London-based Arabic-language newspaper that he would seek funds from throughout the Muslim world. When asked about this, spokesman Oz Sultan refused to comment, but added that they would seek money in the United States "to start."

That the mosque will be funded from abroad reinforces the view that the proposed mosque is not an effort to serve a Muslim community in Lower Manhattan and is instead a symbolic effort to claim the area near Ground Zero for Islam. It is pertinent that Mr. Rauf, the mosque mastermind, has refused to admit Muslims had anything to do with the Sept. 11 attacks, and he quipped, "Osama bin Laden was made in the USA." This calls into question his self-identification as a "moderate" Muslim.

I relly do not know how people can be divided on such a topic other than they are possibly ill informed.

Most people do not recognize that what happens in a mosque is sedition. Pure and simple. Islam is not just a “religion”, it is a cult. Larger than that though, it is a political system, it is it’s own government, its judicial...is in its sharia, and its military (jihadis) all rolled into one with one intent ...and that is to rule wherever they take root. It is a invasive, systemic infection looking to take over the host once it has quantum.

This is not just a “religion”, but something that cloaks itself in those terms so it should not be given the same treatment contemplated under the first amendment. The Korans Sharia rules are to consume whatever government there is wherever it goes.
It is political, and it’s goal is to supplant and replace.

The sooner America learns this , the better.

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. He is doing nothing to protect America as per his oath. Also, as a Muslim, he knows this, he know far better, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

For all interested...Wanna learn more?

Can’t Nancy pelosi or Obama add an item to a piece of legislation earmarking money for this project?

This is not an example of local Muslims coming together to build a community mosque, as Lying Obama implied in his Lying Speech to that gathering of Lying Muslims last week.

This is an example of territorial takeover by outsiders wishing to make a F* You America Victory Statement. With material assistance from the Barry and Hillary Department of State.

Barry and Hillary’s participation in this is High Treason.

What should be constructed is not a mosque at Ground Zero but a large gallows on the White House lawn.

That’s about as well put a definition of Islam as I’ve seen.

If they will not move the site, defile the one they choose. Bury pigs on the site. Drop bacon strips in the dirt. Have the Archbishop put a catholc blessing on the site. Your suggestions, please.

What these people really want is for inhabitants of the Freedom Tower (when its finally built) to hear the Muslim call to prayer 5X per day. Its an “in your face” thing.

What would happen if 100-200 non-muzlims were to just go in en mass for a look-see?

I hear that when this hamoswue gets done they will need a food drive. And the doors will be open to non-muslims. So can I bring pork? A community center should include the actual community. Where is the Christian Crusader changing room? Can Christians have Sunday prayers in a non-denominational room within this hamosque?
