A counter-proposal for the Mosque at Ground Zero

I have been following the debate over the building of a mosque at Ground Zero in Manhattan.

I have a counter proposal.

Let us build a chapel dedicated to Sts. Nunilo and Alodia next to the mosque.

Saints Nunilo and Alodia were a pair of 9th c. virgin martyrs in Huesca, Spain.  They were born to a Muslim father and Christian mother.  However, they chose their mother’s Christianity.

And so during the Emirate of Abd ar-Rahman II it came to pass that in these little girls were first put in a brothel and then were executed as apostates according to Sharia law.

Their feast day is 22 October.

I think their relics are in the Cathedral of Pamplona, having been translated a couple times.

Is there anyone left in this world that does NOT think the obomanation is a moslem?????????????????

[Boxsford]

Hard to believe with the ugly burkas they make the women wear. Gays have better sensibilities than that!

Can pigs be registered in NYC ?

THEY have to be walked too y'know.

I think the Muslims should cancel their plans to build a mosque near ground zero out of respect for this country and it's religious heritage. This would show that they do not stand with the terrorists and would truly like to foster understanding between the two cultures.

If not then it will be obvious that they are our enemy masquerading as a religion in order to take advantage of us.

LOL! THAT is funny.

Putting a mosque and a church next to each is just asking for trouble. Sounds nice on paper, but, no, I’ll pass.

[CORedneck]

Buy the land around the mosque and put in a NYC Pig Farm !

People praying the Rosary halted the attack of the Moslems on Europe at Lepanto, so continue to pray the Rosary to halt the building of this mosque.
