As the ninth anniversary of the darkest day in American history approaches, some people are saying that it's time to move on from September 11th, 2001.
Daisy Khan says, "We need to take the 9/11 tragedy and turn it into something very positive."
Something very positive, Ms. Khan? What could ever be positive about a day on which thousands of Americans and others were murdered in an unprovoked sneak attack on American soil by maniacal Islamic terrorists?
To clarify, Daisy Khan is executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and wife of a local imam. She concluded that "very positive" statement by adding, "It will also serve as a major platform for amplifying the silent voice of the majority of Muslims who have nothing to do with extremist ideologies."
The "it" was a reference to plans to build a 13 story "monster mosque" at 45 Park Place in New York City, just 2 blocks from the site of Ground Zero. The building chosen was severely damaged by the landing gear of one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center.
To be called Cordoba House, the structure will incorporate an Islamic cultural center, a theater, recreational facilities including a swimming pool, and possibly day care as well as a mosque. The developers anticipate breaking ground for the complex on September 11, 2011.
In other words it will be a virtual resort and meeting place for thousands of Muslims gathering for a workout, for a nice swim, for cultural discussion, and for Friday evening services, all to take place almost within spitting distance of the scene of the worst atrocity in our history, an atrocity caused by fellow Muslims of those swimmers.
Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, an Islamic religious leader with terrorist connections, freely admitted that the location for the monster mosque was no accident. As he told the New York Times, building a mosque on the site "where a piece of the wreckage fell... sends the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11:" [http://tiny.cc/izua9]
Wrong, Imam Rauf.
The message conveyed by this planned project isn't "the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11″ but rather a complementary statement. Muslims who have sworn to Allah to destroy America, the Great Satan, made a preliminary effort in that regard almost nine years ago. Now they're planning to stuff it in our faces with this horrific and insulting edifice that will stand in the shadow of One World Trade Center, the Freedom Tower.
In passing, it should be noted that the nimrods on the local community board gave preliminary approval for the plans.
A mega mosque protest is scheduled for 12 noon on June 6th, 2010 at, where else, Ground Zero.
