Update on the Monster Mosque
In case anyone missed it, there was a huge rally at Ground Zero last Sunday, June 6th protesting the proposed construction of a mosque steps away from the site where 2,751 innocent people died on September 11th, 2001.
It's understandable if anyone missed that news in which some 10,000 people gathered to protest the plan since ABC, CBS, FNC, and NBC had better things to do than cover the rally even if the international media were on hand.
The 13 story mosque, disaffectionately known as the monster mosque, will be called Cordoba House, and is the brainchild of Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf. According to its website, the building will house "a 500-seat auditorium, swimming pool, art exhibition spaces, bookstores, restaurants-all these services would form a [Muslim] cultural nexus."
It would also include a fitness center, library, public conference rooms, and basketball courts, according to the Tribeca Tribune.
In other words, it will be a fun-filled Islamic meeting and recreational center mere blocks away from where Islamic militants committed mass murder in America. To emphasize the in-your-face quality of the obscene enterprise, plans are to open the building on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
As Imam Rauf stated, "The mosque is expected to be a major step forward in the Americanization of the Muslim community and that if everything is done correctly, his group intends to franchise the concept and build more Cordoba Houses in other American cities and around the globe."
His wife, Daisy Khan, executive director of the Cordoba Initiative, chimed in with the outrageous claim that, "It is almost obvious that something like this had to arise from the ashes of 9/11. In some way, this has the hand of the divine written over it. It's almost as if God wanted to be involved."
God or Allah?
Last Sunday's ralliers had a significantly different take on the matter and carried signs proclaiming such sentiments as "A Mosque at Ground Zero Spits on the Graves of 9/11 Victims," "Islam Hates Women," "Ground Zero Is a Burial Site-no Mega Mosque on Sacred Ground."
I wholeheartedly second the sentiments of the ralliers over the Raufs.
Despite having been enthusiastically, and amazingly, approved by the local planning board and New York's Mayor Bloomberg and financed in part by Holland's Millenial Development Goals Fund, New York's Carnegie Corporation, the U.N. Population Fund, the Rockefeller Brothers, and Hunt Alternatives, the mega monster mosque may never open.
At least that's the hope of the rally's organizers who plan to petition the federal government to have the site dedicated as a war memorial which, in fact, it already is.
Perhaps if that comes to pass, our mainstream media will cover the event.
And maybe not.
