Muslims have always built mosques on the sites of their conquests.
– The Prophet Muhammad himself made the Ka'aba, a pagan pantheon, into a mosque after he captured Mecca in 630 CE.
– The Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was deliberately built near the Temple Mount, the holiest places in Judaism.
– The Ummayad mosque in Damascus was built on the site of the Church of Saint John.
– Babri mosque in Ayodhya, India was built by demolishing a Hindu temple at the site of Hinduism's Lord Rama's birthplace. They built mosques on the sites of thousands of temples throughout India.The request to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center is not accidental. It is astute and deliberate, as is the decision to call the place Cordoba House. Cordoba is city in Spain that resonates mightily in Muslim history. It was the capital of the Islamic empire in Spain. It was the place where Islam established its first caliphate in Europe.
The Grand Cordoba Mosque was built where a Visigoth Christian church stood.

All devout Muslims are certain that Islam will someday
conquer Spain because Islam teaches that once a place has been absorbed into the ummah, the worldwide community of Islam, it must remain Muslim forever. If the infidels retake Cordoba and Spain, for instance, then Muslims are obliged to conquer it again.
Though they cannot be measured, symbols are powerful in every civilization, especially the Islamic one. New Yorkers should remember that before they blithely allow Cordoba House to be built in their town.

If this disputed mosque were built at Ground Zero, it would be a 15-story middle finger to America.
There is no question that Muslims have a right to build a mosque where they chose to. The real question is why they chose that particular location.
Can anyone in his right mind believe that this was intended to show solidarity with Americans, rather than solidarity with those who attacked America?
