He didn't make ANY arguments in favor of the mosque, you fuckin tool-- he simply tore down the arguments of the mosque's critics, specifically Pat Condell.
"Tore down"? Let's have a look at his main "arguments" in detail:
"In the first place Muslims are already using it [45 Park Place] to hold weekly prayer services"So how long have Muslims been using the building in this fashion Q-man?
"In the second place the area has been in economic depression since 9-11. Despite all efforts its never really recovered....So if someone wants to put some money into the community they're probably happy to have it"Contrary to your above assertion that "he didn't make any arguments
in favor of the mosque" here he is doing that very thing. Put another way he is saying "as a result of the economic depression caused in the area as a result of an act of terrorism an imposing structure dedicated to the cult responsible for that terrorism would be a good idea for the economic regeneration it would bring". Do you agree with that hare-brained logic?
"The estimated completion time for the Cordoba center is about 3-5 years...and you think they're gonna tear down a building and toss up a new one in fifteen months? Come on!"So where did Condell get the idea "They plan to open it next year [2011] on September 11. The tenth anniversary of the atrocity."?
"It's also not yards away from the WTC site. It's a good block and a half and there's no line of sight"Semantic nit picking indicative of his inability to effectively refute Condell's very salient points.
Perhaps you would like to take issue with any of Condell's following statements which Mr Quakey Voice fails to address:
It's going to cost $100million to build this thing but nobody's prepared to say where the money's coming from
It makes me sick to my stomach to think that Islam is going to be allowed anywhere near ground zero because 9-11 could never have happened if not for Islam and its teachings and its doctrine of jihad...
Without the shield of religion to hide behind Islam would be banned in the civilized world as a political ideology of hate and we have no obligation to make allowances for it any more than we do for Nazism
The organization behind this scheme is called the Cordoba initiative and the building is to be called Cordoba house and this is because Cordoba is the city in southern Spain where Muslims built their first great mosque at the start of and as a symbol of their conquest of Spain. The ground zero mosque is intended to serve the same purpose in America. Building a mosque on conquered sacred ground is standard practice. It's what Islam has always done to assert its supremacy and that's what's happening here.
