Yesterday I noted here that Greg Gutfeld has announced plans to open, in the spirit of tolerance, an Islamic gay bar next to the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero. But now, as you can see above (thanks to Weasel Zippers), “Park 51” — that’s the fig-leaf name for the mega-mosque organizers, otherwise known as […]
Ground Zero mosque moves forward, Ground Zero church in limbo
Why is New York City throwing roadblocks in front of the rebuilding of a church that stood for decades at the site now known as Ground Zero, while moving heaven and earth to clear away all obstacles to building an Islamic supremacist mega-mosque there? More on this story: “Mosque Moves Forward, Yet Church in Limbo,” […]
New York Governor Paterson offers state help to move the Islamic supremacist mosque away from Ground Zero
At last, a politician still in office who has some courage to stand up for what is right. “Gov. Paterson offers state help to relocate mosque,” from Associated Press, August 10 (thanks to David): ALBANY – New York Gov. David Paterson offered state help Tuesday if the developers of a proposed mosque near the site […]
Greg Gutfeld: In the spirit of tolerance, I’m opening an Islamic gay bar next to the Ground Zero mosque
The spirit of outreach. “Monday’s Gregalogue: My New Gay Bar,” by Greg Gutfeld at the Daily Gut, August 9 (thanks to Mark): So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it’s all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world. As an American, I believe they […]
Fitzgerald: The mosque, Mayor Bloomberg, and the obligation of good faith, fair dealing, and best efforts
By now there can be few people in this country who have not heard about what has come to be known as the Ground Zero Mosque, the name given metonymically to that planned skyscraper that one Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife plan to build just around the corner from the site of what was […]
Why is Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mosque imam traveling to Muslim countries on taxpayer money?
The New York Post asks pointed and necessary questions about this story. “An odd envoy,” from the New York Post, August 10: It’s not sufficiently divisive, apparently, that a controversial imam wants to erect a mosque near Ground Zero; now the Obama folks have him conducting “outreach” to Arab countries on behalf of the United […]
Spencer: Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero not a religious freedom issue
In Human Events this morning I explain why the Ground Zero mega-mosque has nothing to do with religious freedom: After the New York City Landmarks Commission voted unanimously last Tuesday to deny landmark status to 45 Park Place, thus clearing the way for the construction of an Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, New York […]
Spencer: Closed for Business
In FrontPage this morning I discuss the closing of the 9/11 mosque in Hamburg, and the prospective opening of the 9/11 mosque in New York: On Monday, authorities in Hamburg, Germany announced that they had finally shut down the Taiba mosque, which as the Al-Quds mosque in 2001 was a meeting place for several of […]
NYC Gubernatorial hopeful Lazio: Now that we know Con Ed owns part of the site, let’s pull the plug on the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
This is simple common sense, since the mosque developers have once again been shown to be operating under false pretenses. But common sense has, of course, been in short supply lately among New York politicians. “Lazio: Let’s pull plug on mosque,” by Chuck Bennett and Isabel Vincent in the New York Post, August 9: GOP […]
“The notion that the mosque controversy is a battle over religious freedom is utterly bogus”
“And it glosses over New Yorkers’ entirely legitimate concerns.” “Mosque nanny,” from the New York Post, August 8: […] The notion that the mosque controversy is a battle over religious freedom is utterly bogus. And it glosses over New Yorkers’ entirely legitimate concerns. Nor is there a question of whether the mosque should be forced […]
