Cordoba Initiative.

Let us all reflect for a second about why an organization wanting to build a mosque near the site of the 9-11 mass murder would choose as their name “the Cordoba Initiative”.

I know that it has been said that there are just two types of people entirely ignorant of history; unlettered barbarians and Americans.

Is it time for a brief History lesson my fellow Americans?

Yes Cordoba refers to the Muslim experience in Spain, or Andalusia in their terminology.

Anyone who puts forth the ridiculous proposition that it was anything but a bloody conquest by a foreign Islamic imperial army is lying.

Those who did not convert or pay the head tax the “jizya,” mainly spent their time looking at sharp steel.

What you obviously believe is history is the myth of Muslim tolerance as exemplified by Cordoba during Islamic reign. The Islamic occupation of Spain lasted for 7 centuries. Islamic apologist misrepresent the short period of soft tyranny over the subject Dhimmis in small areas of their dominion (as Cordoba) to be representative of the entire time. This is a lie. (See the writings of Andrew Bostom, Bat Ye'or, to name a few - or check these Google search results: LINK)

But to bring the subject to the present here's the meaning of Cordoba to Muslims today:

Brief Europe: Muslims stopped from praying in mosque

Two Muslim tourists were arrested when they tried to pray inside Córdoba’s famous former mosque in Spain, breaking a ban imposed by the Roman Catholic Church. Half a dozen Austrian Muslims knelt to pray at the same time in the vast marble building, which was converted to a cathedral in the 13th century after Muslims were driven from Spain. The two men who were detained were part of a group of 118 Austrian Muslims on an organised tour for young European Muslims. All bought tourist tickets for a tour of the cathedral on Wednesday. The six who started to pray faced charges of disturbing public order when they appeared before a judge in Córdoba. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Christian church in 1236 after King Ferdinand III of Castile recaptured the city from the Muslims. The building later became the modern-day Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption

What the Muslim report does not say is that the site was a Christian Monastery before the Islamic invaders built their Mosque - even using columns from that Christian structure. Nor does the Muslim report tell you is that that Church was the scene of recent similar Muslim outrages. What the report does tell you is that even Muslim "tourists" are agents of their Global Jihad.

Muslim colonists make claims to Christian lands in the name of Allah and tell the Dhimmis it's as a "counterbalance to radicalism" and feckless Western leaders will not confront them.

Would "The Greatest Generation" have allowed Japanese to build a Shinto shrine at Pearl Harbor during WWII? How can Americans today allow a mosque at "Ground Zero?"
