The building of a mosque overlooking the site of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks has outraged Americans everywhere. As suggested by the Media Research Center (2010), not surprisingly, our President and the media have completely missed the point.
Just as with the Arizona immigration law, the “news” media and the President have decided that anyone who disagrees with their far-left views is a racist.
It seems that anytime anyone disagrees with Mr. Obama, now you are labeled a “racist” versus having “freedom of speech” as was the norm prior to electing Mr. Obama as POTUS.
The backers of The Cordoba project, as the Ground Zero Mosque is known, claim that it is designed to bring peace and understanding between East and West. Polls show that most Americans who are not part of the liberal media don’t believe this and view it as a slap in the face to those who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks (Media Research Center, 22 Aug 2010).
The media have put little effort into exposing the truth about Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the mosque project who once said the US was “an accessory to the crime” on 9/11. The media could focus on the fact that no one will say where the funding for this $100 million project is coming from. Instead the media focus on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s and Barack Obama’s newfound love for religious freedom (Media Research Center, 22 Aug 2010) but only from the view of these two individuals.
In case it is of a surprise to the Liberal Media, their opinion has the same weight as “any citizen of the United States”
The liberal elites in the "news" media and Washington, DC like to characterize this controversy as the bigoted rabble being paranoid about a foreign culture we do not understand. This is far from the truth. The American people are aware that conquering Islamic armies built mosques at the site of battles they won.
One of the greatest battles was fought in the city of Cordoba, Spain. Cordoba marked the furthest progress made by Islamic armies, at their height over one thousand years ago.
Cordobais also the name of the mosque that Feisal Abdul Rauf wants to build at Ground Zero, a location that Islamist terrorists worldwide consider to be the site of a great victory in the Islamic Jihad against the West (Media Research Center, 22 Aug 2010).
It seems that our President, Mr. Obama and Speaker of the House, Mrs. Pelosi is clearly not aware of another important bit of history that is of importance to every US citizen.
