Amid the uproar over the Cordoba House project, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin reveals that it will be the country's first certified "green mosque," named Park51 to connect faith and the environment.

In the midst of the drama around the mosque that’s being erected two blocks from Ground Zero, a few details have been left out that provide some clarity as to the purpose of this project. Specifically, the project will be the country’s first certified “green mosque,” in full compliance with stringent LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, which is why organizers have named the project Park51, rather than the oft-cited “Cordoba House.”

It’s going to be the first invisible mosque because it will never be built.

Why not? We have a red White House.

So are we supposed to be impressed at how liberal this mosque is, because they are a “green” mosque???

I’m sure this little tidbit will impress the liberals who want this mosque. How green is Islam in the rest of the world?

[nhwingut]

It will be organic too. Since it won’t be built.

[ColdOne]

It is already green......follow the money!

[DoughtyOne]

The mosque will be certifiable. I have no doubt about that.

Well of course it will be green! Green is the color of islam, on their flags and korans.

Perfect Muslim eco-terroist marxists.

Its already green, God and all of us are puking on it..

I got this in an email today. Don't know about the truth of it.

In Seville, Spain, the City Council authorized the construction of a Mosque on one of the empty pieces of land. The citizens did not want the mosque built in their vicinity and found a brilliant solution. They buried a pig in the land, and made the news public. The Islamic law prohibits the construction of a mosque on lands desecrated by remains of pigs, therefore the Muslims had to renounce the construction on this desecrated land...

Astute Sevillans…The commentaries of the Civil Guard (Police) are very interesting. Maybe it is the solution needed by New York to avoid the construction of a mosque in the vicinity of the twin towers.

The Israelis are using a similar strategy since 2004. They placed a box
containing pig lard on the buses in Israel and made it public that any kamikaze suicide bomber who tries to assault a bus, risks the prohibition of entering heaven by getting the pig lard on them.  

There are no suicide bombers on the buses in Israel any more. Maybe we should try this here in america as well. Bring on the "BLT" sandwiches.

The proper comparison is not eco-Marxism, but eco-fascism or eco-Nazism. Marxism, traditonally understood, is based on humanism. Fascism and Nazism is based on Nature. I know that many conservatives talk about eco-reds, but this is a false comparison.

Prince Charles wants the environmentalists and Islam to come together as well - http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/s_690815.html.

I am not so sure.

Why not? We have a red White House.

Good one!

Ecomaniacs.

[Olympiad Fisherman]

I hear you, but ecomaniacs is too general. Ecofascism hits the nail on the head.
