Next to a famous Christian landmark Muslims intend to construct their huge mosque, one of the largest in Europe.
The Germans should nix this project now.
Per the London Daily Telegraph from Cologne, the construction of one of Europe's biggest mosques near a globally famous Christian landmark has sparked a furious dispute in Germany.
There sits the Cologne Cathedral. Now the 2,000-seat mosque is to be towering via twin minarets skyscraping 170 feet upward.
"Muslims have been here for 40 years, yet people are praying in back rooms, said Seyda Can, an Islamic theologian at the Turkish Islamic Union in Cologne. There are 120,000 Muslims in Cologne, that's 12 percent of the population. We should not hide."
Hide?
They are hiding every day of their lives. How? By remaining mute as zealot Muslims lay low both Muslims and non-Muslims. Why are not the 120,000 Cologne Muslims at the forefront in outrage over their religionists blowing up innocent citizens, canceling out a democracy plant in Iraq and Afghanistan, and threatening the planet with destruction?
All the more that Germans should see to it that these cowardly quiet Muslims have no say in their environs. They obviously have chosen to say nothing regarding the Islamic carnage that the rest of the world has had to put up with. Why then should they have a say with their mosque in Cologne.
Their say is always nothing relating to the present-tense fear enveloping the globe. Nothing. They say nothing. Yet they want to have their minarets reaching into German heavens.
Is this to prove some sort of prowess? If so, what prowess? It certainly is not prowess in defense of civility, in honor of non-Muslims who deserve the right to live in this world in peace.
As a Christian I protest loudly that such a monument to silent Muslims be cancelled out with prominent aplomb. Let the protests be loud and clear, heard around the world, agreed upon by all those who defend human rights.
The Muslims wail that they dont have their place, that they have had to pray in back rooms, that they deserve as prominent a place in society as anyone else. Then let them prove their love for liberty, their understanding of democracy, and their defense of every mortal having the right to exist without fear of being laid low by a fanatic Allah devotee.
These Muslims clamoring for their mega mosque have to learn that they are not going to get everything they demand just by stomping and stuttering. Their lives have to prove to decent people that they too are decent; otherwise, they should be deported. Why? Because these very Muslims have laid low non-Muslims? Not necessarily, but because they have laid low in their silence while zealots have raised the sword against every nation on Earth.
Saying nothing in light of Muslim carnage is playing on the side of the murderers.
If persons professing to be Christians were slaughtering non-Christians and cowardly Christians who did not join the slaughter, real Christians would be vocal 24 / 7, in every country, by every means.
Not so with Muslims. They just sit there. They dont do anything to quell the bombastic fanatics. Yet they demand a mega mosque in Germany. If that is granted, the Germans have lost their sense of all that is fair and right.
Work will begin this fall on the $30 million mosque, which will include huge glass and stone cupolas and two six-story minarets.
"It's not a popular plan, said Jorg Uckermann, the district's deputy mayor.
"We don't want to build a Turkish ghetto in Ehrenfeld. I know about Londonistan, and I don't want that here, he added, referring to a phrase used to describe the rising trend of radical Islam in England.
Mr. Uckermann is part of a curious coalition of protesters that united Jewish intellectuals with hard-core nationalists.
Leading the charge is Ralph Giordano, a prominent Jewish author, who wrote recently that Germany is witnessing a clash of two completely different cultures and questioned whether they could ever be reconciled.
Stating that he had received death threats for his opinions, he added: What kind of a state are we in that I can face a fatwa in Germany?"
With media now reporting suicide bombers in Europe, Canada and the United States, why should any of these free lands open up to a mega mosque? It could very well turn out that mosques globally are nothing but sleeper cell hangouts. What will liberty nations do when blow-ups such as occur daily in Iraq become daily fare in free territories?
Remember that street killers have the upper hand. No politicians, no peacekeepers, no humanitarians can turn around the bloody agenda of street killers. They always win. Check out Iraq and Afghanistan, Darfur and Sudan as horrific examples.
Why then invite them to house in a Cologne mega mosque?
Would you like to repeal the first amendment here?
Europe left their Christian heritage to revel in humanism and secularism. As their faith and their churches became more and more vacant the moral void was filled by government-instituted morality. The new morality is called 'political correctness', and it is that twisted set of values that has allowed Islam, and every other evil, to proliferate in Europe. Only a renewed faith will restore Western man's spiritual light, so everyone can see clearly that Islam is nothing but a Lucifarian cult, and is a grave menace to us and to our entire civilization. The day is dawning when the PC secularists and socialists who deny God will find that government, science and technology will not protect them from the onslaught of islmofacism. In fact, I believe the manifestation of world wide islamic terror and aggression may be a Divine recompense for the great apostacy from the Christian faith. Perhaps it will be Islam itself that will drive men back to Jesus Christ, but will it be too late for Europe, and for America?.
Did your derive your FR name from St. Gemma Galgani?
I could not agree with you more.
You have stated it most completely and precisely.
Thank you. Yes, only a return to the biblical God and reverence for the biblical morality will bring civility.
Jesus stated that when the house is cleaned out, if the Holy Spirit is not invited to inhabit, demons seven times over will claw through to overcome.
That is exactly what is happening where the Judeo-Christian heritage has been vacated for secularism.
Now the demons—sevenfold + —are flooding through via the demonic cult, Islam, with Allah being Lucifer and the Koran scribed by demons.
America will experience the same angst as politically correct Europe if it does away with the Judeo-Christian heritage. At present, the righteous remnant is keeping the divine blessing upon our nation. But if that remnant reneges, then America too will fall to the demons.
Again, you said it well. Much appreciation.
BTW, your tagline is perfect regarding that “other” issue, immigration.
“They obscure the truth by calling it an issue of “immigration”-but it’s an issue of LAW ENFORCEMENT.”
Thanks for the terrific graphic and accompanying detail. Quite informative.
Added to this data is the spiritual fact that having the demonic mosque near the christian edifice is not good in that the demonic must not be tolerated at all.
When we have the power to eliminate the demonic, then believers know that that is what has to be set in motion.
It is not just a mosque under construction but the invitation to demons to possess more turf in order to establish Islam World Rule via sleeper cells mega.
Thank again for the info.
So are you ready to pass laws in America that will prevent Mosques from being built here?
Or do you think that religious freedom is something that we should continue to enjoy here in America?
**Now the 2,000-seat mosque ...**
I didn’t think that there were seats in mosques?
I think it means that occupancy = 2,000 persons, not seats as seats to sit on.
Just a guess.
Does anyone actually know?
I know that when I entered Jerusalem’s Dome of the Rock, there were no seats to sit on.
There's plenty of "seats"
Why don't you ask the author?

Derek Zoolander: What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?
Mugatu: Derek, this is just a small -
Derek Zoolander: I don't want to hear your excuses! The building has to be at least....three times bigger than this!
Thanks for adding to the responders count.
gotcha
terrific!
I asked you a few legitimate questions.
1) Would you like to repeal the first amendment here?
2) Are you ready to pass laws in America that will prevent Mosques from being built here?
3) Or do you think that religious freedom is something that we should continue to enjoy here in America?
4) If you think freedom of religion is something that we should have here in America, then why not Germany?
Care to respond?
The property it is currently a warehouse being used as a mosque. A new edifice will not change it's demonic status, but does lend an air of legitimacy to the whole thing.
Here is an article about a mosque the government built in Munich in '73 that may be of interest to you: A mosque for ex-Nazis became center of radical Islam
