GZ Mosque-A Symbol for Islam?
A new “Symbol” is proposed for the Ground Zero area … an Islamic Cultural Center. The $100 complex is proposed for a location 2 blocks from 911′s “Ground Zero,” 2 blocks from where 3000+ people were killed by radical Islamic Terrorists, an area symbolic of the greatest achievement of Islamic Jihadism. Many believe putting a “cultural center” anywhere near this area is nothing more than a monument of victory for the terrorists of 911.

Technically, “they” are saying this is not a “mosque” … it’s a cultural center with an area for prayer. Maybe this is why …
New English Review – Interview with Sam Solomon – What is a Mosque? A mosque, totally unlike a church or a synagogue, serves the function of orchestrating and mandating every aspect of “life” in a Muslim community from the religious, to the political, to the economic, to the social, to the military. In Islam, religion and life are not separate. They are indivisible. In Islam religion is not just a part of life, but “life” is absorbed and regulated to the tiniest detail by religion (See Figure 1). In other words every aspect of a man or woman’s life must be defined and governed by religion. So there is no concept of personal choice whatsoever, or in theological terms, there is no “free will,” but only limited preferences between prescribed courses of action. In addition, there is no concept of a personal relationship between the person and the entity being worshiped, so “worship” itself, is of a different nature than that performed in a church or synagogue.
Pat Condell on Ground Zero Mosque
But in this case it is “not a mosque, it is an “Islamic Cultural Center (that just happens to have an included prayer area).” Perhaps this is even more insidious than an actual mosque, just another example of Islamic Al-Takeyya. So the “Islamic Cultural Center” is only a symbol … but of what?
The Symbolism of the Location: Feisal Abdul Rauf is the imam behind the “Cordoba Initiative” that is spearheading plans to build a $100 million Islamic center at Ground Zero, the site where nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by jihadists on 9/11. He is also the author of a book called What’s Right with Islam Is What’s Right with America. But the book hasn’t always been called that. It was called quite something else for non-English-speaking audiences. In Malaysia, it was published as A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America.

Symbolism of the Name: Cordoba Mosque: The scheduled construction of the ‘Cordoba House’, more widely known as the ‘Ground Zero Mosque’, is meeting some stiff resistance from a growing number of Americans for not only its location but what its name alludes to. In fact, developers even tried to rename the mosque because of what people were learning about it. Cordoba, a city in Spain, was conquered by Muslims in the early 8th century. Upon capturing the city, Muslims began construction on the first ‘Cordoba House’. Prior to that, Spain, at the time a Christian nation, was a symbol of western civilization. Once it had fallen to Islam, the first ‘Cordoba House’ became an Islamic symbol of conquest. Former Muslim terrorist Walid Shoebat, has made it his life’s work to warn westerners about the true intentions of Islam and insists the Islamic mindset has not changed, even after twelve centuries. Shoebat insists that the name chosen for the ground zero mosque is not an accident; it is intentionally provocative for a reason. It is a statement to Muslims that could embolden many of them.
Update August 14.2010
President Barack Hussein Obama Statement: “As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” Obama told an intently listening crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. “That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”
President Obama addresses guests at an iftar dinner, the meal that breaks the dawn-to-dusk fast for Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan, at the White House.
Patriot’s Flag Comment: Barack Hussein Obama was trained as a Muslim in his early life. That early training still defines his outlook on life today. The man was a Muslim, the man is a Muslim, the man is doing everything in his power, against the will of 70% of the people to create an Islamic dar es-salaam right her in the United States of America. This man is an enemy of Liberty and Freedom … we need no more proof than this. For the safety of the United States, Obama, and any politician supporting his views must be removed from office.
Obama is leading his supporters (some probably unknowingly) toward the goals of Islam … any person supporting Obama was thus represented at that dinner and now must either avow or disavow his statement. There is now a direct link between Obama supporters and the Islamic threat. If you support Obama, you are supporting the furtherance of Islam and Shari’a as the dominant governing force for the United States. Democrats who support this President have now become “Islamists.” They are enemies to Liberty and Freedom.
The proposed “Cordoba Mosque” probably should now be renamed the “Obama Mosque” to thank him for his support and to solidify the link of Obama to Islam … he will be a Presidential Symbol of Islam, and this should be his legacy.

The Bottom Line
I Believe … The Obama Administration not only has successfully withdrawn from the War on Terrorism, then are actually supporting terrorists through unsecured borders and “reaching out” to Muslims. We are going to be “giving in” without a fight … and that’s UN-American. And now he has thrown is support behind the Mosque at Ground Zero indicating his support for the Islamic Community and thus supporting the further infiltration of Shari’a here in the United States of America. If the construction of the “Obama Mosque” is allowed to proceed, this will be his legacy.
