The mosque at ground zero is following a tried and true pattern going back 13 centuries.
The Muslims have always built a mosque at the most revered site of the land they conquered. For example there are dozens of mosques in India built at the exact site where a temple stood before. They even used the decorative stones such as marble from the pillaged and destroyed temple. It was their way of rubbing the noses of the conquered people in the dirt.
The Muslim invasion of India began in the 8th century and ended in the 17th century with a military defeat of the Muslim emperor by a Hindu warlord and stopped further destruction of Hindu temples.
The proposed mosque at ground zero is nothing but a monument for successful attack on the heart of American capitalism on 911. As every one knows there is no Muslim population living near ground zero.
The proposed mosque is no way an attempt to spread peace and understanding about Islam. How can it be when 70% of people and almost all 911 victims are against it?
“They even used the decorative stones such as marble from the pillaged and destroyed temple. It was their way of rubbing the noses of the conquered people in the dirt.”
They did the same after (probably before as well) the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. The also crapped in them. FOul people. And of course we all know about the Church of Sophia.
