SAYING NO TO A GROUND ZERO MOSQUE
By Alan Caruba
WHY BUILDING A MOSQUE WITHIN STEPS OF GROUND ZERO IS SO INHERENTLY WRONG: WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE
INTENDED VICTIMS OF ISLAMIC DOMINATION -- THE CRIMES OF ISLAM AGAINST ALL WHO ARE NOT ISLAMIC (& SOME
WHO ARE ISLAMIC, DUE TO THE SUNNI-SHIITE SCHISM) -- THE ISLAMIC TERROR WAR AGAINST WESTERNERS & OTHER
"INFIDELS" COMPARED WITH THE NAZI DEATH MACHINE EMPLOYED IN THE HOLOCAUST AGAINST JEWS & CHRISTIANS --
ISLAMIST TERRORISTS DOING WHAT THE KORAN & NEARLY ALL IMAMS ARE TELLING THEM TO DO, NAMELY,
KILLING "INFIDELS"
FULL STORY:
In the August 3, 2010, edition of the Wall Street Journal, in the "Greater New York" section, the lead article was
“9/11 Memorial Pledged as Part of Mosque Plan.”
There already is a 9/11 memorial. It is called Ground Zero and will be incorporated into whatever structure that eventually
gets built on the site.
If one continued to read the story, however, you had to jump to page A21 where side-by-side with the mosque story
was one titled, “Verdict in JFK Bomb Plot,” subtitled “Jury Finds Two Guilty in Conspiracy Charges for Plan to Ignite
Fuel Tanks.”
The two men found guilty were Abdul Kadir and Russell Defreitas. A third defendant, Kareem Ibrahim, was ill and didn’t
go to trial with them, and a fourth, Abdel Nur, took a plea deal and faces up to 15 years in prison. At no time in the body
of the article is there any mention that these men are Muslims, though that fact was critical to their plot.
It was noted that “the men tried to get help from al-Qa'ida operative Adnan Shukrijumah, who was recently indicted in
federal court in a plot to attack the New York City subway system with suicide bombers.”
How many Muslim plots to kill thousands of New Yorkers does it take before the plotters are identified as Muslims?
The reason why there should be no mosque built where the debris and dust of the Twin Towers showered down on the
very spot is obvious to any American. It would be an obscenity.
It is obscene to wish to build a mosque within sight of where 2,700 people lost their lives in an act of Islamic terrorism,
an act of war, a jihad.
How this simple fact escapes the notice of Mayor Mike Bloomberg defies understanding, but this same Mayor
originally thought the failed Times Square bomb could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who
doesn't like the healthcare bill or something. It could be anything.”
No, it could not be “anything”! Of the many plots hatched since 9/11, it is likely that 99.9% have been by Muslims,
whether native born or immigrants.
This is not about tolerance. In New York, every Friday in several locations through the city where there are mosques
that cannot accommodate all who wish to enter for prayers, the overflow fills the surrounding streets between 2 PM
and 4 PM. They block traffic in ways no other group of religionists would ever be permitted. It is surreal.
There is something especially abhorrent about Mayor Bloomberg’s dazzling ignorance, because, as a Jew, he seems to
have not absorbed the lessons of history and, in particular, the Holocaust that killed six million Jews and five million
Christians; nuns and priests, Lutherans, gypsies, and others swept up by the Nazi death machine.
Hannah Arendt attended the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi charged with rounding up and killing Europe’s
Jews. Her book, Eichmann and the Holocaust, was published in 1963 and enshrined the phrase, “the banality of
evil” in our modern lexicon.
For Arendt, Eichmann was a “new type of criminal, who commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh
impossible for him to know or feel that he is doing wrong.” Not so new, because the crimes of Islam against all who are
not Islamic (and some who are Islamic, thanks to the Shiite-Sunni schism) are very old and fill the headlines of today’s
newspapers.
The Muslims who flew commercial airliners into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did not think they were doing
wrong. They were doing what the Koran and almost every imam with the breath to preach told them to do; they
were killing infidels.
This is why a mosque within steps of Ground Zero is so inherently wrong. It says that the intended victims of Islamic
domination are simply too blind to envision their fate, too fearful to confront evil, to ready to get on the next train to
Auschwitz.
