Ground Zero Mosque's Stunning Symbolic Design Motif Unveiled
American Thinker ^ | 9/30/10 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/30/2010 5:15:07 PM PDT by American Dream 246

The newly unveiled "official" architectural renderings of the Ground Zero Mosque, now being rebranded and sanitized as the "Park 51 Community Center" reveal a disturbing, insidious message. (Big hat tip: Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs)






Look closely at the pattern of the facade. It is quite easy to discern the Star of David (two triangles with points up and down), the pre-eminent symbol of Judaism here:






and here:




But the entire facade shows these shapes dissolving, as if shattered and falling down.

Kind of like a window shattered by rocks and fragmenting into pieces.

New York City has the largest Jewish population in the world. Throughout the Arab and Muslim world, "Wall Street" -- the financial district on lower Manhattan -- connotes "Jewish bankers."

Kristallnacht, anyone?

This no more coy than the crescent shaped monument proposed for Shanksville, PA, where United 92 crashed to earth.

I am disgusted.

Look at it from the bright side : at least it will be a nice retaliatory target of opportunity when they pull off more shenanigans

eye for eye, icon for icon

How about an old fashioned full blown PIG ROAST FESTIVAL, with permits, held RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HORRIFIC STRUCTURE THAT MOCKS THE WEAKNESS OF THE TWIN TOWERS AND DEMONSTRATES HOW IT WAS DESTROYED. It is a VERY GOOD VICTORY MOSQUE AND AS UGLY AS HEARTS of THE MEN WHO INTEND TO GET IT BUILT.

Bring Some Pork To Work Day!

Great idea. Undermine this terrorist attempt to give us the finger, or in this case, the spider web. Horrible, freakish, bizarre, overwhelming design...they are playing us, folks, and we must do what we can to “pork” them back.

Most definitely “Kristallnacht”/”The Night of Broken Glass”.

Horrible ugly building, just like their souls.

You're right!

I saw essentially the same thing. The 'whiter' portions of the building seem to represent smoke that swirls around a number of 5-pointed stars (representing the USA) and one or more 6-pointed stars (representing Israel) along with a general sense of broken glass among those.

That plus the top of the building is faceted so that each of the two facets seem to face the ghosts of the destroyed World Trade Center towers 1 & 2.

And the proposed site for the mosque is just 400 feet from the WTC building 7 that was also destroyed by the attack

Is this what they're trying to depict?

Yes, I can see the number 2 and a person. The more I look the more I find. I don’t know if half of it is intentional or if its an ink-blot.

The whole facade looks pigeon-friendly to me. Squirrels might enjoy living there also, wherever it may be built. Visualize a taxi full of squirrels arriving one morning.

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw it - the top gives an illusion of two towers, and the rest is shattering glass, the snake shape probably represents smoke, and of course the jewish symbols. If you look closely at the stars, you will also see crosses set diagnally.

People will differ about what is portrayed in the design, but it's pretty obvious by now that they are trying to "smuggle in" various trophy themes related to 9/11. The disruptive-camouflage details just make me more certain, morally, that that is what they're trying to do. A simple geometric, aniconic, traditionally Islamic design -- no. Deceit and disguise and enmity, yes.

Screw these people. Kick them out of the country, no apologies, and make them sue for their money back in federal court.

Oh well! Nobody's going to bomb a Jewish symbol in New York, now are they. Maybe the pork grease that the construction workers smear all over the infrastructure will negate the Jewishness of the symbol.

Woo Boy. This is a hoot.
Soma Architects
Soma Architects is a private company categorized under Architects and Engineers and located in Alexandria, VA. Our records show it was established in 1985 and incorporated in Virginia. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $1 to 2.5 million and employs a staff of approximately 5 to 9
This building, aka Park 51 & 'Ground Zero Mosque, Spa & Racquetball Club', is waaaaaaaay over their head. A staff of "5" to "9" ain't gonna cut it.

(In my Professional opinion, they should stick to Strip Malls, Three Story Apartment Buildings,small Community Centers and Libraries)

"skeletal type faces"

I have not seen those yet. But I tell you within the first second of laying my eyes on that photo, I saw what looked to me like falling bodies. This effect -in my opinion- is due to the shattered glass pattern having an infrequent interruption with a vertical chevron shape.

So purposely and despicably celebratory .. New Yorkers and the families of the innocent murdered loved ones have to be beyond seething. Dispatch and desstroy these savage beasts .. demons who crave a monument to their evil!

U.S. Marine who pulled landing gear out of site of "Ground Zero Mosque" speaks out for first time

"I was there", said Parente. "I smelled death. I tasted death. It was in the air that we breathed as we worked. Don't tell me that the building is not near Ground Zero. It was all around us."

*snip*

A part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower, crashed through the roof of the building at 45–47 Park Place and down through two floors before becoming embedded in the ceiling of the third floor of what was a five-story building.

It was that piece of wreckage that first attracted Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, 61, the man behind building the proposed 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, to the site.
