Why did no one object to the "Pentagon mosque"?

Salon ^ | August 5, 2010

Why didn’t anyone object to the first mosque that was built in America in 1934? It’s called the Mother Mosque and it is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

On what grounds could they have objected?

At the time, Islam was considered to be just another religion. (There also was no Ground Zero on which to build their Victory Mosque.)

Not exactly sure what you are talking about. Did you think my cousin was having a good day when the airplane slid in immediately under the Pentagon room where he and others were meeting?

People were IN THE BUILDING and they were ON TOP OF THE PLANE.

There were dead people in the Pentagon, and dead people in the plane.

This was a "ground zero" situation.

I even had a couple of neighbors involved in heroic expeditions into burning areas to pull people out, and there were deaths and injuries of other Pentagon employees living in this neighborhood.

Frankly, I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about when it comes to the attack on the Pentagon.

[Fundamentally Fair]

I've been in the public areas over the years and don't recall a Chapel although I recall drugstores, department stores, and restaurants, coffee mess, etc.

You're an expert on everything, aren't you? Are you looking for the Floor, Ring, Corridor and room number?

What else is there in the Pentagon that you haven't seen and therefore must not exist?

[Atom Smasher]

That’s sick...

[darkwing104]

The mosque in the Pentagon predates 9-11...Along with Muslims serving in the military...Go back to Salon and tell them to put that in their Crack pipes.

[Atom Smasher]

heh LOL!

Well stated Darkwing!

[muawiyah]

I want the floor, ring and corridor number of the chapel you hypothesize existed before the Memorial chapel.

I never saw it ~ and the internet is backing me up in my observation that I never ran into it because it probably wasn't there.

Now, why can't I be someone of an expert in a building I've visited hundreds of times over the years. I live within 10 miles of it, and for a long time I had direct business dealings with the postal military liaison office ~

Army Chaplain Abdul-Rasheed Muhammad, the first Muslim chaplain to serve in the military, read a verse from the Koran at the memorial service at the Pentagon on Thursday, exactly one month after the attack. Muhammad, who became a chaplain eight years ago and works at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, ministered to rescuers in front of the smoldering Pentagon after the attack.

Wonder if Muhammad was in any way associated with the Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan who was also at Walter Reed?

[Jack Hydrazine]

People were a little more educated back then and it was well known the history of the American Navy and Marines first job was to deal with the Muslims on the north African coast.

[popdonnelly]

Sounds like SOP for the Religion of Peace. They kill a bunch of people, and then build a mosque.

[popdonnelly]

“Progressive” is a misnomer denoting a stupid leftist.

[SuziQ]

I dont get a place at my job to pray...why them?

AFAIK, the Pentagon has always had a non-denominational chapel. It wouldn't surprise me if they offered a location for Muslims, as well. It's probably been there for years, and no one has given it a thought.

The difference with the Cordoba House is that it is Muslim triumphalism that will be on display there. Muslims all over the world will celebrate how they 'won' in this struggle against the Great Satan, and it will serve to rile up the radicals even more, which, I suspect is their goal.

[darkwing104]

I stand corrected. The Whole article was a lie

What Mosque 'Inside' the Pentagon?

Shall we invite the kitties?

[dalebert]

YOu bet they will celebrate...at our expense. Its very bad of Muslims to want to make an in your face move like this..How about moving it to another country..

[muawiyah]

You have a good question there, but I suggest you refer it to Dana Priest, at the WarshPost. She managed to do a detailed study of the psychiatric outpatient operation and yet DID NOT REVEAL Captain Hassan to be one of her sources.

SHe still hasn't revealed that.

So whadda' ya' think of that ~ a double Pulitzer prize winning reporter failed to get the scoop of the century ~ an in depth interview with an Islamofascist terrorist during the planning phase of his idea to murder our troops standing line waiting medical release for overseas duty.

Or did she miss that.

Again, send her a note ~ let her know you have been watching and waiting for her to tell us about Hassan.

You do know she's only gotten one new byline on a story at the WarshPost since Hassan did his killings ~ the Posties know, she knows, I know, and now you and other Freepers know.

You can go bust the Army Chaplain's chops but you got a top Post reporter to nail first.

Muslims are require to pray a few times during the work day. With DC traffic a Muslim worker would have to spend a long time getting to and back from an off base mosque. It's there for the convenience of the Pentagon.

We also have some allied Middle Eastern officers under exchange progams there.

Shall we invite the kitties?

Why not?

[muawiyah]

There are a lot of things at the Pentagon ~ offices, corridors, ramps, rooms, windows, a hot dog stand in the middle (up until 9/11) ~ but I haven't been that far inside since then.

A mosque? That would have been local news here in Northern Virginia and I simply didn't find such a thing referenced until the Leftwingtards invented one. I sure never heard of it.

There's the new Memorial Chapel in the Pentagon and according to the official news it's multidenominational, etc. just like all military base chapels.

The real question is will Bloomberg build a family synagogue for his personal use in Dubai? Will he station a rabbi there so when he's present he can pray?

[darkwing104]

The premise of the Salon article is false the whole story is pure BS...

We've been played...

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I can see that as the most likely scenario. So if the Pentagon did really have a mosque it would be there out of necessity for the reasons I just mentioned.

The NYC mosque has no reason to be built exactly at Ground Zero except as thumb in our eye.
