Charlie Brooker offers an ultra-precise description of what the so called Ground Zero Mosque will look like...
"The planned "ultra-mosque" will be a staggering 5,600ft tall – more than five times higher than the tallest building on Earth – and will be capped with an immense dome of highly-polished solid gold, carefully positioned to bounce sunlight directly toward the pavement, where it will blind pedestrians and fry small dogs. The main structure will be delimited by 600 minarets, each shaped like an upraised middle finger, and housing a powerful amplifier: when synchronised, their combined sonic might will be capable of relaying the muezzin's call to prayer at such deafening volume, it will be clearly audible in the Afghan mountains, where thousands of terrorists are poised to celebrate by running around with scarves over their faces, firing AK-47s into the sky and yelling whatever the foreign word for "victory" is."

That is a funny piece.
ReplyDeleteShearing away all the emotions and argumentation, the builders (and muslims in general) have done a poor job at "outreach," which is a sad thing to say, because no group should have to do such a thing to justify their presence in a country they entered and live in legally, but here we are.
Did they not know this would be perceived as a thumb in the eye to many Americans?
They will build the mosque, as they have a right to do, but this is not building any bridges.
America is known as a conservative nation, but our society is grounded in classical liberalism. We see that liberalism being squelched everywhere muslims move in.
It has not yet happened here, thank God, and we don't want it to. So hopefully, Rauf and his group really are what they say they are.
Let's hope America really is what it says it is.
