A friend writes me seeking contributions from US Christians and Jews to build a grand cathedral and a grand synagogue in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Then leftist clergymen would have a prominent place to conveniently issue apologies for existing to Muslims, at Islam’s spiritual center.
Sounds like a very nice project for those who like self-abasement, doesn’t it?
Problem: Saudi Arabia does not permit any churches or synagogues to exist anywhere in the country.
Er, Saudi Arabia funds mosques throughout the world, many harboring Imams and congregants who mouth, fund and participate in radical anti-West actions. Have you heard any apologies from Saudi Arabia?
Meanwhile, in the heart of pagan capitalism, close to 9/11’s Ground Zero in New York’s Wall Street area, a $100+ million mosque is planned. The Imam has already plunked down $4.85 million for the property. He is cagey about where the rest will come from. Hmm? Oh, the Imam is pocket-deep in funding the Gaza flotilla and pals with international anti-Israel radicals.
Youssef Ibrahim, a former New York Times and Wall Street Journal correspondent who covered Islamic fundamentalism extensively overseas and in the USA, finds other journalists oddly lacking in the curiosity to dig deeper.
Look at all these potential contributors, over 8000, who turned out today at the Ground Zero mosque site.
