re: #129 Lidane

What kills me is the implicit suggestion in all this anti-“Ground Zero mosque” business is the suggestion that the only Muslims who died that day were the ones flying the planes into the buildings.

Also, how is a community center anything like a mosque again?

Well, if it’s thirteen storeys of community center, and there’s a mosque in there somewhere, it obviously equates to “them” taking over Hagia Sophia in 1453 and turning one of the greatest churches in the world into a mosque.

Yep. Former Burlington Coat Factory Building in Manhattan = Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, the Church of the Holy Wisdom of God, in Constantinople.

Just ask Robert “Reconquista of Turkey” Spencer.
