Cordoba mosque

(above: the first Cordoba mosque built upon the oldest Catholic (Visigoth) church in Spain, St Sebastian)

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.

It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious, so it is no surprise the so-called "intelligentsia" are out in force, pointing fingers at us. They are really not so smart.

Meanwhile, we, the taxpayers, are paying for this imam to traipse around the globe while bad-mouthing us and getting funds together to built this monstrosity — which, btw, has re-branded itself a la Obama. It is now called Park51. But, bottom line is, a mosque is a mosque is a mosque.

The best predictor of the future is past behavior. Know your history. Know the history of your enemies.

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?

Wake up, grow a spine, read history, clean house.

The Real Hatemongers

gryffn

Brent Bozell Last week, Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced on CNN that she was hanging up her headphones at the end of the year. If she could not exercise her freedom of speech, she said, she was not interested in the job.

Crazies on the Left had pounced on something that everyone with cable TV knows is true. The N-word is acceptable for black comedians on HBO, but it's not something you can ever, ever say if you're not black. Hypocrisy rules.

Reporters scream in protest over anyone calling Obama a socialist but they don't find anything scandalous in Left-wing radio hosts blaming conservatives for 9/11.

Mike Malloy shouted at his opponents on Jan. 19, 2010: "Do you not understand that the people you hold up as heroes bombed your goddamn country? Do you not understand that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are as complicit of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attack as any one of the dumb-ass 15 who came from Saudi Arabia?"

Has any conservative ever said anything remotely similar to this?

He also claimed on April 19, 2010 that Beck and Limbaugh rejoiced over the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995: "This is what Beck and Limbaugh and the rest of these right-wing freaks want to see happen again. And again. And again. Endlessly."

Perhaps Malloy is granted an exception because he sounds clinically insane. He has claimed Rep. Michele Bachmann "would have gladly rounded up the Jews in Germany and shipped them off to death camps." He has claimed Cheney "must have feasted on a Jewish baby, or a Muslim baby." He has claimed that the mild-mannered Fred Barnes "is beyond crazy. I'm sure he eats children's arms or legs for afternoon snacks."

Then consider this: Malloy was a news writer for CNN for years. Schultz was awarded a platform on MSNBC for his hatred.

So who are the real liars and haters? Just check MSNBC, NBC, ABC, yada, yada, yada.

America Still Talking About Race

gryffn

Joseph Phillips According to that bastion of fairness, CNN.com, some of the criticism of first lady Michelle Obama is driven by white resentment of the “uppity Negro.”

C'mon. Only Democrat Harry Reid uses the word “Negro” any more. Secondly, this is the 21st century and still there are those who continue to talk about race as if it were 1955. Liberals stuck in the past?

Last February, in a speech to honor Black History Month, Attorney General Eric Holder remarked that Americans of all colors should stop avoiding an honest discussion of race in America. Said Holder: "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

What exactly does he want?

Muslim Hatred and Intolerance

gryffn

Non-Muslims are barred from entering the cities of Mecca and Medina (forget about building synagogues or churches!) because according to the Koran, their infidel feet are unfit to touch the ground. This is not an al-Qaeda principle. Nor is it an “Islamist” principle. It is Islam, pure and simple.

“Truly the pagans are unclean,” instructs the Koran’s Sura 9:28, “so let them not . . . approach the Sacred Mosque.” This attitude is enforced, not by jihadist terrorists (though them too), but by the Saudi government. And it is enforced not because of some eccentric sense of Saudi nationalism. The only law of Saudi Arabia is sharia, the law of Islam.

Sunni scholarly commentary in the version of the Koran officially produced by the Saudi government explains, only Muslims are sufficiently “strict in cleanliness, as well as in purity of mind and heart, so that their word can be relied upon.” Thus, only they may enter the holy cities.

Shiite teaching is quite an insight: Iraq’s “moderate” Ayatollah Ali Sistani explains the touching of non-Muslims is discouraged, because they are considered to be in the same “unclean” category as “urine, feces, semen, dead bodies, blood, dogs, pigs, alcoholic liquors, and the sweat of an animal who persistently eats [unclean things].”

Hey, I am honored to be compared to a dog. I should have such a pure heart and offer the unconditional love that they give us every day.

And Obama continues to kiss their butt. The Greek Orthodox church which WAS DESTROYED in the attack is not being allowed to rebuild! Why? Where is the religious freedom?

And still the media is "preaching" to us about religious tolerance. Where is the Muslim tolerance? Oh yeah. They have NONE!

We build monuments to events. Muslims build monuments on top of conquered places. Look it up. It is true. And "Cordoba" is one of those built on top of a church in Spain.

And this one here is another "Cordoba" to mark the conquest of….? Is not their dedication date of September 11, 2011 say it all? Why this location and why that date?

Build a dog kennel there. They make better neighbors.

Sherrod’s Real Racism

gryffn

Larry Elder Who knows what lies ahead for Shirley Sherrod — a book, the lecture circuit, a wrongful discharge lawsuit that could bring millions? But if she keeps talking, the woman "wrongfully portrayed" as a racist may out herself as exactly that.

Sherrod is now heralded as a symbol of a black woman unfairly victimized by the wretched, vicious, racist tactics of Breitbart in particular and the "right wing" in general. CNN aired an hourlong story on her life — on and on.

But what about the rest of Shirley Sherrod's NAACP speech?

Her take on people who opposed ObamaCare: "I haven't seen such mean-spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn't it surface? (Audience responds approvingly.) Now, we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president."

So the self-proclaimed colorblind woman attributes legitimate opposition to the government takeover of health care … to racism.

She told CNN: "I know I've gotten past black vs. white. He's probably the person who's never gotten past it and never attempted to get past it. … I think he would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery. That's where I think he'd like to see all black people end up again. … I think that's why he's so vicious against a black president, you know. He would go after me. I don't think it was even the NAACP he was totally after. I think he was after a black president."

Does she really sound like she has "gotten past black vs. white"?

Her husband, the Rev. Sherrod, spoke this year at the University of Virginia School of Law. He said he found inspiration from the Rev. Martin Luther King's vision of a society that judges people by the content of their character. But the Rev. Sherrod later said: "Finally, we must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections. We must not be afraid to vote black, and we must not be afraid to turn a black out who votes against our interests." He provided no example, explanation or elaboration.

Breitbart erred in not viewing the entire NAACP speech. But neither this nor the past racist experiences of Shirley and Charles Sherrod justify giving them a pass for their own current racist comments.

Energy = Pursuit of Happiness

gryffn

Environmental justice demands that the United States address global warming, the gravest threat facing minority Americans, insist the EPA, Congressional Black Caucus and White House. Are they serious?
[They are serious about thinking we are stupid.]

The alleged threat pales next to unwed teen motherhood, school dropouts, murder and other crime. Even if average global temperatures rise a few degrees more since the Little Ice Age ended, it is absurd to suggest that any such warming would harm minorities more than policies imposed in the name of preventing climate change. It was just as warm in the Medieval Warm Period — all without SUVs.

Human activities have not replaced the complex natural forces that drove climate change throughout Earth’s history. Plus the rising emissions from China, India, Brazil, etc. instantly replace whatever gases we might stop emitting.

Most important, fossil fuels power the economic engine that ensures justice and opportunity in America today. Policies that make energy less reliable and affordable reduce business revenues and profits, shrink investment and innovation, imperil economic recovery, and hobble job creation, civil rights, and the pursuit of happiness and the American dream.

Whether they take the form of cap-and-trade, carbon taxes, restrictions on drilling and coal mining, or EPA rules under its claim that carbon dioxide “endangers” human health and welfare, anti-energy policies actually prevent the poor and minority Americans from improving their lives.

As to coping with higher temperatures, restrictive energy policies send electricity prices skyrocketing, making it harder for low-income households to afford air conditioning, and putting lives at risk. They send poor families back to pre-AC misery of bygone eras, like the 1896 heat wave that killed 1,300 people in New York City’s sweltering tenements. In wintertime, they make heating less affordable, again putting lives at risk.

I recently documented the connection between energy policies and civil rights. My “Justice through Affordable Energy for Wisconsin” report focuses on the Dairy State, where I grew up. However, its lessons apply to every state, especially the 26 that get 48-98% of their electricity from coal or have a strong manufacturing base. (The full report can be found at www.CFACT.org)

Energy is the foundation for America’s jobs, living standards, and everything we make, grow, eat, wear, transport and do.

Wind and solar electricity is expensive, intermittent and unreliable – necessitating expensive gas-powered backup generators, and further damaging family and business budgets.

We must therefore be forever vigilant, to ensure that Congress does not slip cap-tax-and-trade proposals through during a post-election lame-duck session – and EPA does not shackle our economy and civil rights progress with its job-killing “endangerment” rules.

Just like the rabid environmentalists have hogtied all reasonable efforts to curtail the oil slick in the Gulf – or has thrown out the farmers in California because of the Delta Smelt fish.

Ridiculous.
