Hard Hats: No Mosque! No Mosque!
IBD Editorials ^ | August 20, 2010 | Investors Business Daily staff

Ground Zero Mosque: A grass-roots movement among construction workers and unions asks Cordoba mosque supporters: Who do you expect to build it? The same people who built the World Trade Center perhaps?

In real estate, it's said the price of a property is based on three things — location, location, location. The price in blood and treasure America has paid for the gaping hole where the Twin Towers once stood is incalculable.

The wounds are still fresh and the anger is still real, and it's something that supporters of the Cordoba mosque, named after a great Islamic victory over the West, simply don't get.

Two blocks from the proposed mosque, construction workers at the WTC site are trying get across their point, and ours.

The towers of the World Trade Center instantly became symbols of America, its strength, its embrace of freedom and free markets. It was the pride of the workers who built it, destroyed in just hours by madmen who turned passenger jets into flaming cruise missiles.

William McCabe, 31, who lost an uncle on 9/11, used black marker to scrawl "WTC No Mosque" on the back of his neon construction vest in protest. "It's like spitting in the face of all the people that died," he told DNAinfo.com.

McCabe, who lives in Queens and has been working on Tower One for five months, said: "What they're going to be doing is praying and laughing because they got the mosque. My uncle's turning in his grave. It's a disgrace."

Mark Sabay, 48, of Brooklyn, who's been working on the site for two years, said a co-worker handed him a "No Mosque" sticker three days ago. He immediately affixed it to his hard hat.

You better pray that such an attack never comes. The Feds were able to stop a slaughter against the Muslim population in 2001... They won’t be so successful if we get hit again...

Evey Muslim in America will have a virtual bull’s eye on the back of their heads... and the Feds won’t have a prayer of stopping the blood bath that will ensue.

If this mosque ever gets built, I guarantee it will be leveled within a year.

Bloombutt is a damn fool... He’s asking for a bloody war, and he damn sure will get one.

I just received this email this afternooon - they don't even hide it. How stupid can we be...:

Subject: Prison Ministry - The Muslim Question

I have never seen this presented so clearly. This is excellent.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!!!

"Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers...

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, the replied, 'Non-believers!'

I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in h eaven Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'

He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Imam was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of dealing with the Islamic Imam , and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!

I think everyone in the US should be required to read the above email - also read about Sharia law and be afraid - be very afraid

What’s with this “we” crap? You got a mouse in your pocket? On the morning of September 12, 2001... EVERY Muslim city should have been a smoking ruins under a thermonuclear cloud.

It was GWB who coined the damned dirty lie that Islam is a “religion of peace” ... The truth is that Islam is a religion of conquest.

Islam is NOT a religion. It's a political cult. They simply hide behind the "religion" stuff to invade us and the whole world with the curtain of tolerance - the west tolerance.

It’s disgusting that any black is a muslim... if they had any clue of their history or the Indian slave trade.

Muslims were enslaving them hundreds of years before those Euros they bring up at every opportunity... and still are enslaving them today.

If they read the Koran and the hadiths, they would know what was thought (and is thought), about blacks till this day in Islam.

“I did some checking and saw that they apparently acquired the entire property, including the outstanding mortgage, with cash. There’s no mortgage on the property now. I wonder if they plan to raise the entire $100 million plus before they start work.”

They will have the entire sum before they start work; remember it’s coming from overseas. It’s called Sharia Financing and it complies with Islamic laws. Harvard has a Center for Sharia Financing and President Zero has appointed to his table of advisors an expert on Sharia Banking. ALL the major international banks have specialized departments for Sharia Financing. Laundering money to terrorists is easier with Sharia Financing, too.

Yeah, I keep repeating the word “Sharia” to remind us this is just another aspect of the Islamization of the world. I encourage you all to look up the subject on the web, especially http://www.shariahfinancewatch.org/blog/

This is nothing more than more a new version of “Triumphalism” from another group of hyphenates bent on mischief.

Latinos are itching for Reconquista.

These people are looking to impose Sharia law on the US.

All of us are sick and tired of these foreign-born “hyphenates” sticking it to Americans.

Americans know all the world wants to live like we do-—even our poorest live handsomely compared to some of these backwater Third World hellholes.

Now they are coming over and instead of blending into the US melting pot, they want to radically change our culture-—they want us to be like them.

Ain’t gonna happen.

Well you will have to have the Iron Workers, IBEW, United Assoc. of Plumbers and pipe fitters, Sprinkler Fitters, Teamsters, Elevator Constructors etc. all agree to work. If one decides they won’t do it, then its over. No Teamsters to drive the trucks, done. No Electrical workers, done. No Elevator workers, done.

If it gets to the point where they are starting to build the Mosque these Union guys will show up. They will rationalize it.

Here's another for your list....The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day.

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/summary/900SR0110.html

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/srgroups/sr/900SR0110LV.html

The resolution died in 1999, thankfully.
