Imam Feisal Rauf, the central figure in the coterie planning a huge mosque just off Ground Zero, is a full-throated champion of the very same Muslim theologians and jurists identified in a landmark NYPD report as central to promoting the Islamic religious bigotry that fuels modern jihad terrorism.
This fact alone should compel Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Bloomberg to withdraw their support for the proposed mosque.
In August 2007, the NYPD released "Radicalization in the West -- The Homegrown Threat." This landmark 90-page report looked at the threat that had become apparent since 9/11, analyzing the roots of recent terror plots in the United States, from Lackawanna, NY, to Portland, Ore., to Fort Dix, NJ.
The report noted that Saudi "Wahhabi" scholars feed the jihadist ideology, legitimizing an "extreme intolerance" toward non-Muslims, especially Jews, Christians and Hindus. In particular, the analysts noted that the "journey" of radicalization that produces homegrown jihadis often begins in a Wahhabi mosque.

Facts are irrelevant to liberals.
I can’t understand why Bloomberg and Kelly are ignoring the obvious. I suspect that most if not all FReepers have at least one book on their bookshelves about Islamic terror and their plan to take over all of civilization. I guess the ‘elites’ aren’t that bright after all.
It would be a major victory for them, on par with their crescent shrine memorial where Flt. 93 came down.
Rebuild the twin towers into the giant raised middle finger, b/c that is what this 'mosque' would be. The only Americans too blind to see that are lawyers and politicians.

They aren’t at all. Most have come through the Leftist indoctrination centers that are our Liberal Arts colleges, especially the Ivies, in non-quantitative degree programs. Passing means regurgitating Leftist dogma.

Somewhat long but worthwhile. It very much speaks to the above as one of the themes.
It should be utterly clear to anyone with so much as two brain cells to rub together that the Muslims have one purpose in building this mosque - and one purpose, only - and that is to stick their collective thumbs in the eyes of Americans and add insult to injury. Any other take on the matter is superfluous.
For those who haven’t seen it, here’s a link to a map done up in Google Maps showing the location of the WTC site and the Cordoba Mosque site.
And if you don’t understand the significance of the name, you should.
It’s as if after the Blitz the people of London invited the Germans to build a Nazi bunker in the center of town.
Liberalism is a form of psychosis.
It’s not a mosque...it’s a base camp...a barracks...
“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, the believers our soldiers.”

Bloomberg may be a billionaire, but sometimes his brain is not worth a DIME!
