Hello, faithful readers (yes…all 4 of you)! If you’ve been following the news here in the US, you might have heard about the plans for the Cordoba House; this is a mosque/Islamic community center that is planned for construction about 600 feet away from the site of the September 11th attacks in Manhattan. Now, all 9/11 conspiracies notwithstanding (because I know that there are some of you that will say that 9/11 was an inside job and had nothing to do with Muslims, and others will say that Osama bin Laden AND Saddam Hussein flew those planes personally), I do have a few things to add to the conversation. A note: anyone who copies this list into a comment below and then replies in a point-by-point fashion will have their comment deleted. I hate that shit, and I’ve not given you permission to do it…so KNOCK IT OFF!!!
Anyway, here are at least three issues I have with this particular plan:
1) Let’s start with the name “Cordoba.” Not sure if you are aware of where this comes from, but it is the name of a city in Spain where, in approximately 711 A.D., an ENORMOUS mosque was created out of a giant cathedral to signify the defeat of the Visigoths in Spain. This was the beginning of a great time in Islamic history…look up the Umayyad Empire to get a feel for it. This mosque was a symbol to the people of the land that, yes, we conquered you and yes, we are here to stay. Why in the hell would you name something like this nowadays the “Cordoba Initiative?” That’s the $64 question.
2) I apologize if this offends anyone, but there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Well…let me rephrase. The people who are IN CHARGE of all of this are not moderate at all. These are people who want to see you and I and everyone else made a Muslim. Ladies…grab your birkas! Some of the demographic projections I’ve seen puts Europe at 60-70% Muslim in the next 40-50 years given current immigration patterns, and the US barely being able to hold on to an 80% share of the non-Muslim population by 2050…and that’s WITH all the immigrants. Moderate Muslims know that there’s no need for a jihad…their opposition will be bred out in a couple of generations. Here is a link to one of the videos I’m talking about (note: heavy-handed Christian overtones in this video are not mine).
3) The popular belief (and again, we’ll skip the conspiracy stuff…at least for this post) is that militant Muslims flew planes into two of our tallest buildings, killing 3000 people because their God told them that we all deserve to die for our beliefs. Now, less extreme individuals from the same religion would like to build a monument to their people (including the ones who did this) about 600 feet away from the site of the disaster. Let me put it another way: I’m going to lead my army into your village and burn your town hall to the ground, killing anyone who gets in my way…and I’m going to do this because my God says that your God is evil and must be destroyed, along with you. After I’m gone, some less insane people who believe in the same God that I do come to your village and convince the surviving residents that a great idea would be a shrine in our God’s honor…to embrace the peace between our two cultures. And the money that was used to destroy your town hall in the first place came from THE SAME PEOPLE. Corporations have been doing this for years: they create a problem and the gallantly offer a solution for the problem they created (read: they fund both sides of wars). Does this seem incongruous to you?
As of today, it’s going in, and there’s not a damn thing that you or I or anyone can do about it. I’m sure I could ramble on another 100 reasons why this shouldn’t be allowed to happen, but no one is going to listen anymore. America and Europe and everyone else have their head stuck so far up their asses with liberalism and political correctness and concerns over memories of things like the Crusades or Australia’s Sorry Day…no one wants to be seen as intolerant anymore. Well, guess what? Islam’s not a religion. You see, any religion that imposes itself on the populace as law isn’t a religion at all…it’s a political ideology. And EVEN IF IT WERE A RELIGION…do you call me a racist for making fun of a Christian or a Buddhist? Probably not, huh?
This was kind of a long one and I apologize. Thanks for making it to the end, though.
