I give you Hagia Sophia:
“The Hagia Sophia or Ayasofya as it is known in Turkish was actually a patriarchal Basilica that has been considered to be an embodiment of Byzantine architecture and also had the distinction of remaining the largest cathedral in the world until 1520. Built on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, its interiors were richly decorated with artistic mosaics depicting various religious scenes and were supported by massive marble pillars.”
“For God, the Cid, and Spain”
“1080. It was an unhappy time. Spain was war-torn. It was half Christian and half Moor. Rodrigo Diaz of Vivar came to be known as “El Cid” (”The Lord”). He was a simple man who became Spain’s greatest hero. At the time the African Emir was Ben Yusuf who gathered his forces in North Africa.
Ben Yusuf tells his men that they will first take Spain, then Europe and then the whole world.
A Spanish church is burning. A Catholic Father prays at the burned altar. Rodrigo comes over to help the Father get up. He tells the Father that they have captured the leaders of the destruction. The Father says to Rodrigo that he is a long way from home. Rodrigo explains that he was on his way to his wedding when he suddenly had to fight a battle with the Moors. Now he will take the captured Moorish leaders to Vivar.”

“The Al Aqsa Mosque on The Temple Mount”

The Ground Zero Mosque, as the Flight 93 Memorial, represent CONQUEST. Get that through your heads, people.
Absolutely correct. The plague of political correctness has brought us to the point where even these most backward of savages believe that we are weak and present little threat to their plans to seize this continent. Given the number of those insipid "Coexist" bumper stickers that I see, they may indeed be correct.
That crescent idea didn't make it into the final Flight 93 Memorial, did it? <hope not!>
