You heard they are planning to build at least one – probably two – mosques within 600′ of “Ground Zero”, the former World Trade Center site in NYC, didn’t you? And, they want to start construction on the 10th anniversary of 9/11!
Not a better place – with the exceptions of San Fransisco and Portland – could our peaceful Muslim friends have chosen. New York City is infested with the mental illness known as liberalism – that style of political thinking that dissociates itself from reality in a hot-air balloon of emotion. Liberals, with their emotionally dominated minds, actually have no problem with – in fact, many support – a mosque (or as the Trojan Horse is being called, an “Islamic Cultural Center”) being built only 600′ away from the nearest corner of Ground Zero. You see, it’s a way to promote “tolerance” and “diversity”; a way to build a bridge across the Islamic World and the west.
Many clear-thinking Americans object, and vehemently, to this act.
What is going on in the minds of the Liberals to cause them to sympathize with the religion that killed so many people right in their own town?
Like most psychopathology, the reasons are manifold; one could make the case for subconscious fear, which in turn manifests itself into appeasement. These people know what the Muslims did – they saw the carnage, the people jumping out of windows; they felt the anxiety. The could be afraid of these people to the point of trying to make peace with them, hoping they won’t attack them. Imagine a young child who has seen his father in rages against others; the child will likely try to be well-behaved around the father and not say anything to upset him, lest they be the target of his wrath. Liberals may be emulating this fear response, trying to show Muslims “tolerance” – letting them have their way, so they don’t attack again.
Teens and young adults typically demonstrate a tolerant and appeasement approach as well. Being emotionally immature, they don’t have the fortitude to stand up to bullies and fight for what is right. Instead, they attack the critics of the Muslims, not fearing them, essentially telling them, “Be quiet! Don’t get these people mad!”
There is also the illusions of magnanimity they so often exhibit – they are just on a higher evolved level of reasoning than others, spreading their wings on soaring platitudes they wish the world to be like. They want to be seen as “tolerant” – meaning apathetic – and not be judged a bigot or racist – terms they often sling at conservatives. Why? Because they have felt great pain when these words were thrown at them, or identified with people who are actually victims of racism or bigotry, and knowing it’s so painful, they in turn hurl it others that they feel are attacking Muslims, to make them hurt as well, and hopefully desist.
In essence, they are cowardly and arrogant.
They have control over New York City, and so they overwhelmingly give their approval of this Mosque.
But is it just a Mosque? The imam behind the project has stated this would be way to show the terrorists they didn’t win, and a way to help rebuild downtown Manhattan. How magnanimous of him!
But how exactly does putting a mosque near the site of the worst mass murder in US history tell the terrorists they didn’t win? And how does it help build better ties with the west?
It doesn’t. It’s the talk that liberals want to hear, and the imam is speaking it to them. The name of the group building this mosque is called the “Cordoba Initiative”. No one in the media asks about that moniker, but it does mean something to students of Islamic history.
On the Cordoba Initiative website they state, “Our Mission: Cordoba Initiative aims to achieve a tipping point in Muslim-West relations within the next decade, bringing back the atmosphere of interfaith tolerance and respect that we have longed for since Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together in harmony and prosperity eight hundred years ago.” (emphasis mine).
Researching this interesting name of the group, I found a more detailed accounting of the Cordoba moniker – the Cordoba Initiative refers to the Caliphate of Cordoba, a Muslim ruler, of the what is now the Spanish peninsula and North Africa, from the city of Cordoba (in southern Spain), from 929 to 1031 AD. During this period, the great mosque of Cordoba was built. The rule of the caliphate is considered the heyday of Muslim presence in that area. The caliphate enjoyed great prosperity, and brought the Christian kingdoms of the north, through force and diplomacy, under control. The caliphate also held state-sponsored raids into neighboring Christian kingdoms, which were very lucrative; tribute payments were also collected to guarantee safety (source). In other words, Muslims came, Muslims conquered, and the Christians were brought to heel, and the Great Mosque of Cordoba was built – and still stands today. Hmm.
Can you see the allegory forming here? This mosque – which was purposefully chosen by the imam because of it’s close proximity to the WTC site (source) – is a victorious planting of the flag upon conquered ground. If anything, it’s an affirmation to the terrorists of what they did – and can still do – not a condemnation. Once they get the mosques established, you bring in, of course, Muslims. When you bring in enough Muslims, what happens next? You want them to have representation in schools and city boards. Then more come, and get more representation – then they start changing the way society works – to their way of thinking, of course. Some parts of England are (or have) considering incorporating the draconian Sharia law into their own laws, or letting villages colonized by Muslims institute their own Sharia laws. They will demand – and get – accommodations in schools to practice their religion, as they have in Dearborn, Michigan – one of the highest concentrations of Muslims in the country (source). Liberal groups like the ACLU, will give them a pass on it, though they will sue to make sure a coach can’t say a christian prayer before a football game.
In short, it’s a Trojan horse – exactly. You recall the story?
Seeking to gain entrance into Troy, the Greek Odysseus ordered a large wooden horse to be built. Its insides were to be hollow so that soldiers could hide within it.
Once the statue had been built by the artist Epeius, a number of the Greek warriors, along with Odysseus, climbed inside. The rest of the Greek fleet sailed away, so as to deceive the Trojans.
One man, Sinon, was left behind. When the Trojans came to marvel at the huge creation, Sinon pretended to be angry with the Greeks, stating that they had deserted him. He assured the Trojans that the wooden horse was safe and would bring luck to the Trojans.
Only two people, Laocoon and Cassandra, spoke out against the horse, but they were ignored. The Trojans celebrated what they thought was their victory, and dragged the wooden horse into Troy.
That night, after most of Troy was asleep or in a drunken stupor, Sinon let the Greek warriors out from the horse, and they slaughtered the Trojans.
Is the picture becoming clearer? The mosque is the the Trojan horse, the Muslims the warriors within it. They safely get by our defenses with talk of a wonderful gift, and then when we are vulnerable, take us over.
Liberalism is dangerous.
One often used tactic of the liberals is to insert the “…but not all…” justification into many arguments they try to countermand. Here’s an example: If I were to suggest that maybe the government keep a more keen eye on Muslims (which I’m sure they do anyway), the liberal will come back with something like “Yes, but not all Muslims are terrorists!” when you make a point that jeez, maybe society should keep an eye a little bit more on Muslims, since they are the prime source of terror in the world.
The wagon the liberals have lately hitched on to is the legalize pot wagon; they’ve been pushing to essentially let anyone grow and smoke pot whenever, wherever, without having to worry about those pesky cops throwing their sad asses in jail.
