Re: Mosque over Ground Zero
Damn, I told myself to never let myself get sucked into a thread like this again... But I can't help it!! Forgive me good peoples!!! :'(
and please forgive my bad spelling, Im tired.
It is traditional that Muslims build mosques as momuments on grounds of their victories. Whereas we western civilizations have a tendency to build our momuments to remember places of bloodshed. While there are certainly exceptions to this rule please let me continue to try to prove my point.
The Mosque is to be named after the spanish city ,Cordoba, which was captured and "asslimated" (to put it nicely) by muslims. It is a WELL KNOWN symbol of Islamic conquest today... (if you dont believe me, feel free to look it up
)
The equivanlent to this would be me going to Mecca and building a church named after the pope who called down the first crusade.
Ms Shadowtree: Now, Class. Can anyone tell me what would happen to me if I decided to do this??? Anyone?
Young child: *Raises hand*
Ms. Shadowtree: Yes, you in the back.
Young Child: You would be dead, Ms. Shadowtree.
Ms. Shadowtree: *smiles* Correct. I
Would be dead. Dead. Dead. DEAD!
You get a cookie for today. :thumbsup:
