MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO?

The proposed Mosque adjacent to Ground Zero is an affront to the 3,000 victims of the World Trade Center attacks, to their families and to all Americans. Much of the funding for this project will have to come from the Saudis who have been funding mosques all over the U.S. with Imams who have been preaching hatred against America.
　
Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, the founders of STOP ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA, sponsored the June 6 rally in New York protesting the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. It was estimated that up to 10,000 protesters attended the rally. The crowd overflowed the police barrier enclosures that ran the full length of two city blocks. Yet not one major network sent a satellite truck or camera crew to this event. Were it not for the internet, this newsworthy event would have remained unknown to the public and history.
　
Geller is a citizen journalist and blogger who runs the human rights web site Atlas Shrugs. Spencer is the author of several books on Islam and head of the influential web site Jihad watch. Here are Geller’s remarks:
　
"Ground Zero is a war memorial, Ground Zero is a burial ground. We are asking for sensitivity…It is unconscionable to build a shrine to the very ideology that inspired the jihadist attacks at Ground Zero, right there. We are asking the imam Rauf and Daisy Khan to be sensitive. For mutual respect and mutual understanding that is demanded of us every day.
　
There’s a hair-trigger sensitivity in the Muslim world, you can’t run the cartoons, you can’t say Mohammed, this is offensive. This is an offensive mosque. To build a shrine, an Islamic flag of conquest on the sacred ground the cherished site, of a conquered land. This is historic, this is Islamic history. It’s what they do. The St. Sofia in Turkey, the al-Quds, at the holiest Jewish site in Israel. Not here. This is where we take a stand. We must take a stand. We must say no."
　
I do not believe that the landmarks commission controlled by Mayor Bloomberg, is going to stop this mosque. It’s not going to happen. Here’s Omar Muhamedi, on his human rights council, a CAIR lawyer, who sued the airlines and the Jane and John Does that saw something and said something on those airplanes, if you remember. That’s who’s on his human rights commission. It ain’t gonna happen with Bloomberg. We have to make it happen. You have to get involved."
