........the Obama administration is using our tax dollars to rebuild or build mosques in other countries. Perhaps those taxpayer dollars have been laundered abroad, then funneled back to the Ground Zero Mosque.....

Of course. That's the Madoff MO. Trustees looking over his empire found interrelated international funds, institutions and entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth...... and assets and businesses in 11 places overseas. These were tax evasion and money laundering vehicles for wealthy businessmen.....many involved in tax-exempt "charities."

We'll end up paying for the Ground Zero Mosque --- w/ that jerk Bloomberg in their pocket---tax abatements and other tax subsidizations are in the offing.

Course there's about 100 million Muslims worldwide---so if they contributed 5 bucks each to the Ground Zero Mosque.......

"In a related story, a new Southern Heritage memorabilia shop will soon open adjacent to this Woolworth’s in Greensboro."

I'm sure the AP would have no additional hyperbole in thier coverage of story like this fictitious one.

I think your post wins today!

Since the AP asked folks not to refer to it as the GZ Mosque, then I shall redouble my efforts to call it exactly that—THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE. And the “zero” has several applications!

yeah, this should be a masterpiece of Orwellian propaganda:

"preparations for a 2009 scholarly study of how "Shariah" (Islamic Jurisprudence) supports core values of Democracy, Human Rights and the rule of law."

anyone know if this cesspool, er, "scholarly study" of Shariah exists?

So little comment has been seen on the grotesque attempts to whitewash the name "Cordoba" as though it stands for some model of inter-faith harmony. As usual, the Islamic paradise of Cordoba and "Andalusia" came about by bloody conquest and ruthless repression. The fact that Shariah then allows a concept of "dhimmi" for a very unequal kind multi-faith society of Islamic dominance does nothing to make the name "Cordoba" resonate with any justice and humanity: [from a popular website encylopedia which beings with a 'W']

"The Martyrs of Córdoba were forty-eight Christian martyrs living in the 9th century Muslim-ruled Al-Andalus, in what is now southern Spain; their hagiography describes in detail their executions for capital violations of Muslim law in Al-Andalus. The martyrdoms instanced by Eulogius took place between 851 and 859; with few exceptions, the Christians invited execution by publicly stating their faith/beliefs: some martyrs appeared before the Muslim authorities to denounce Muhammad; others, Christian children of Islamic-Christian marriages, publicly proclaimed their Christianity"

“I just called and spoke with Tom. He told me that the approved term to use is “mosque located 2 blocks from ground zero”. The concern was that readers would be misled into believing that the mosque would be located exactly ON ground zero. Is this explanation reasonable?”

NO it is NOT reasonable. Their real reason is to mislead people off the realization that these Islamists are continuing their conquest of the West using our own laws against us. The Dome of the Rock was built specifically on the Temple Mount, where the altar was alleged to have been, solely for the purpose of publicly demonstrating Islam’s control over Jews and Christians. They did it with the Hagia Sophia Church in Istanbul by turning it into a mosque when they conquered Turkey.

Fools who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Call Tom and tell him that too.

Maybe they should get a corporate sponsor. How about the Minute Maid Mosque at Oscar Mayer Plaza? The Tostitos Fiesta Mosque?

OK AP! We’ll call it the Ground Zer0 Mosque after our illustrious president. We don’t call him Zer0 for nothing.

RE: “...T-ball. Every kid out there (and every parent) knows exactly what the score is.”

Have you ever been to a T-ball game? Half the kids don’t know which base is first. A game with 3 outs recorded TOTAL (not just in an inning) is a defensive masterpiece.

Two of my six kids played t-ball. The rest weren’t allowed to be on a team until they played something that vaguely resembled baseball. T-ball resembles track for the team hitting and rugby for the team fielding.

‘Stop Using the Phrase “Ground Zero Mosque”’

instead, maybe they should stick to "the Cordoba Project" and tell the people the story about how the islamic hordes came and conquered Cordoba spain , killing men women and children , burned down the churches and built a big mosque in its place

They fear Muslim violence. If Christians start killing journalists...

...Then the killers wouldn't be Christians.

OTOH, being a Muslim without the killing would be the same as a Christmas and Easter Christian.

Now to be referred to as the Cordoba WTC Victory Mosque, established in New Mecca, USA.

Actually, that is my prefered way of referring to that abomination. Though it does matter in a symbolic sense where they build it, what is far more offensive to me is the occasion of why they are building it.

I am getting to hold the belief that this is yet another trick by the enemedia to help raise funds for this atrocity by making it a part of everyone's conversation. Whereas this terrorist sympathizer who is raising loot to build it, without the help of the global discussion of it, he would only have the services of the US Department of Hate to underwrite his fund-raising efforts in the Middle East. Now, with all of the publicity, he has the cred to approach his potential benefactors by telling them that this would be a wonderous tweak on the Great Satan.
