[Vision2020] No mosque at Ground Zero

[Ken]

Here is a link to the most recent video from Pat Condell, this time discussing 
the intent of Islamists to construct a mosque near the Ground Zero site in 
New York City.

Below this link is an excerpt from a Washington Times story about the proposed 
New York City mosque construction project.

"Saudi Arabia and other Muslim-majority countries have made funding mosques an 
important priority for extending Islam's reach and influence. Yet the 
representatives of other faiths are not allowed to build places of worship in 
areas which Muslims consider sacred, which in some cases includes entire 
countries. Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security John 
Brennan recently spoke glowingly of witnessing "how our Saudi partners 
fulfilled their duty as custodians of the two holy mosques at Mecca and 
Medina." That might be true, but don't get caught worshipping a god other 
than Allah. According to a 2009 Pew Forum study, Saudi Arabia is rivaled only 
by Iran as the world's least tolerant country for religious diversity. It's 
illegal to merely possess religious symbols from other faiths in the desert 
kingdom. Converting to another religion is a capital offense.

The United States should ban any overseas funding for construction of 
religious sites originating in countries that do not allow religious freedom 
and end the one-way relationship that allows those promoting Islam an unfair 
advantage over other faiths. Furthermore, Ms. Khan and Mr. Rauf should come 
clean about the expected sources of funding for the Cordoba House. It would 
be ironic and tragic (if not surprising) if the same channels that seek to 
build the Ground Zero mosque also underwrote the attacks that made it 
necessary to build a memorial."
