> *Statement on the Proposed "Cordoba House" Mosque near Ground Zero*
>
> There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there

>
> The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site -
> where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one
> of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity, passivity and
> historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them don't
> understand that "Cordoba House" is a deliberately insulting term. It
> refers to Cordoba, Spain - the capital of Muslim conquerors who
> symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a
> church there into the world's third-largest mosque complex.
> Cordoba," in Islamic symbolic terms, means Islamic rule in the West.
>
> Today, some of the Mosque's backers insist this term is being used to
> "symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in the
> world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a sign
> of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our historic
> ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.
>
> Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious
> toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more
> than 100 mosques already exist in New York City. Meanwhile, there are no
> churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or
> Jew can even enter Mecca. And they lecture us about tolerance.
> If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious
> toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to

> intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They
> should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead such
> a campaign.
>
> We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years.
> Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million mega-mosque will be built
> within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating surprise
> attack in American history.

> Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba
> House refuse to reveal all their funding sources. America is
> experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to
> undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of our elites
> are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.
> No mosque. No self deception. No surrender.

> The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.
