The newly unveiled "official" architectural renderings of the Ground Zero Mosque, now being rebranded and sanitized as the "Park 51 Community Center" reveal a disturbing, insidious message. (Big hat tip: Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs)

Thanks, Tesla. That's ****ing disgusting. Too many Americans are still quite naive about Islam, including many who post here. I enjoyed the comments following the article.

They (the NY borough) could block that for aesthetic reasons. Send the Muslims back to the drawing board. Stall for time. Repeat.

Tesla,

Come on. This person is a joker.

Firstly,
Quote:
now being rebranded and sanitized as the "Park 51 Community Center"
says a lot about the person's lack of thought. Do you seriously think the idiots behind the building were calling it Ground Zero Mosque originally and now have rebranded it?

Secondly, the design is NOT a Star of David. The Star of David is two triangles flipped and overlapping to form a six-pointed star. The segments this joker has presented have 8-points, and they are made up by two squares rotated 45 degrees to form that shape. Like the link provided by Rarnopp shows these sorts of geometric patterns are a very normal part of Islamic architecture, and it stands to reason these bozos with their $100M kitty were trying to showcase their culture and its architecture is a very obvious choice. Whether we like it or not it fits with their claimed objective.

I do not put it beyond these guys to have some insidious objective behind building these things. Anyone who is into imposing their values, beliefs, religion on others with the power of their money as Saudis and UAE have been doing, is not above doing anything. But this seems to be the sort of "crying wolf" nonsense that distracts and numbs sensible people till they move away and miss the real problem when it happens.

Interesting synchronicity...

Kristallnacht happened on a Nazi holy day, Nov 9th.

Seems appropriate to post this again:

Islam center's eerie echo of ancient terror


Should there be a mosque near Ground Zero? In fact, what is pro posed is not a mosque -- nor even an "Islamic cultural center."

In Islam, every structure linked to the faith and its rituals has a precise function and character. A mosque is a one-story gallery built around an atrium with a mihrab (a niche pointing to Mecca) and one, or in the case of Shiites two, minarets.

Other Islamic structures, such as harams, zawiyyahs, husseinyiahs and takiyahs, also obey strict architectural rules. Yet the building used for spreading the faith is known as Dar al-Tabligh, or House of Proselytizing.

TOWER: The Ground Zero project doesn't fit the traditional minaret.


This 13-story multifunctional structure couldn't be any of the above.

The groups fighting for the project know this; this is why they sometimes call it an Islamic cultural center. But there is no such thing as an Islamic culture.

Islam is a religion, not a culture. Each of the 57 Muslim-majority nations has its own distinct culture -- and the Bengali culture has little in common with the Nigerian. Then, too, most of those countries have their own cultural offices in the US, especially in New York.

Islam is an ingredient in dozens of cultures, not a culture on its own.

In theory, at least, the culture of American Muslims should be American. Of course, this being America, each ethnic community has its distinct cultural memories -- the Iranians in Los Angeles are different from the Arabs in Dearborn.

In fact, the proposed structure is known in Islamic history as a rabat -- literally a connector. The first rabat appeared at the time of the Prophet.

The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid"). The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.


After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided. The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires. After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.

It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington. The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).

Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet. To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan," this would be of great symbolic value.

Faced with the anger of New Yorkers, the promoters of the project have started calling it the Cordoba House, echoing President Obama's assertion that it would be used to propagate "moderate" Islam.

The argument is that Cordoba, in southern Spain, was a city where followers of Islam, Christianity and Judaism lived together in peace and produced literature and philosophy.

In fact, Cordoba's history is full of stories of oppression and massacre, prompted by religious fanaticism. It is true that the Muslim rulers of Cordoba didn't force their Christian and Jewish subjects to accept Islam. However, non-Muslims could keep their faith and enjoy state protection only as dhimmis (bonded ones) by paying a poll tax in a system of religious apartheid.

Now that the US and NATO have taken Kosovo away from Christian Serbs
and given it to Muslim Albanians, how long will this famous ancient Christian
"UFO" fresco in Visoki Decani Monastery continue to exist in now independent
[Muslim] Kosovo... what will be the fate of the entire 14th century Serbian church
even the Serbian President now needs permission to visit.


http://www.sprezzatura.it/Arte/Crucifixi....


Never forget... in 1999 the US & NATO dropped bombs on Christians
to take their Holy of Holies [Kosovo] from them and give it to the Muslims.
