Yesterday at RightWingGranny I reported on the plan by Greg Gutfeld to open a gay bar next to the site of the proposed mosque at near Ground Zero. Mr. Gutfeld says that he is serious about his plan and is beginning to raise funds for the project.
An article at the Washington Examiner details the response from the group preparing to build the mosque:
"...That situation is worth savoring alone but then when you find out that Gutfeld managed to get a comment from the builders of the new Park51 mosque about his project. Their response is reproduced below:
@greggutfeld You're free to open whatever you like. If you won't consider the sensibilities of Muslims, you're not going to build dialog
Note to the people planning to building the mosque: You're free to build wherever you like. If you won't consider the sensibilities of Americans, you're not going to build dialog!
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air posted an article about the proposed mosque on Monday. Mr. Morrissey's article referenced an article written by Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah that appeared in the Ottawa Citizen on Monday. From what I understand, both authors are what we would call 'moderate Muslims' who do not embrace the practice of what they discribe as "Fitna," meaning "mischief-making" that is clearly forbidden in the Koran.
The article in the Ottawa Citizen concludes:
"If this mosque does get built, it will forever be a lightning rod for those who have little room for Muslims or Islam in the U.S. We simply cannot understand why on Earth the traditional leadership of America's Muslims would not realize their folly and back out in an act of goodwill.
"As for those teary-eyed, bleeding-heart liberals such as New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and much of the media, who are blind to the Islamist agenda in North America, we understand their goodwill.
"Unfortunately for us, their stand is based on ignorance and guilt, and they will never in their lives have to face the tyranny of Islamism that targets, kills and maims Muslims worldwide, and is using liberalism itself to destroy liberal secular democratic societies from within."
The authors of the article in the Ottawa Citizen have no illusions about what radical Islam has done and is doing worldwide. I just wish some of our elected officials were as willing to face the truth.
