No sarcasm intended at all. Americans are almost entirely ignorant of history, and I believe it was Voltaire who first made that observation.

Islamists must indeed count upon American ignorance of history if they think that invoking Cordoba will bring visions of peaceful coexistence and tolerance.

The actual history is far from it, and the present day reality is that they still claim Cordoba FOREVER as an Islamic mosque.

So let us 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”. Could it be that they are counting on American ignorance of the actual history of Cordoba as well as ignorance of their present day claims to Cordoba? Obviously.

Well obvious to me anyway.
