Islamic Triumphalism: Cruel Lessons From History for New York City

by El Marco | 10:41 am, August 1, 2010 | Comments Off

The Center for Security Policy created a powerful 1-minute video opposing the construction of the 13-story, $100 million mega-mosque near site of the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11 by adherents to the barbaric, supremacist and totalitarian program authoritative Islam calls “Shariah.” And the imam who is promoting this mosque has publicly declared that he seeks to “bring Shariah to America.”

As the ad makes clear, Shariah’s followers have long built mosques on the most sacred sites of those they have conquered – for example, on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, at Constantinople/Istanbul’s St. Sophia Basilica and in Cordoba, Spain, the capital of the occupying Moors’ Muslim kingdom.

In Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock is seen perched atop the Temple Mount, the site of three Jewish national temples. The Kotel or “Wailing Wall” is seen in the foreground. The Dome of the Rock was placed as a mocking symbol of triumph and supersession over Judaism and Christianity. Bernard Lewis is one of the world’s leading scholars of Islamic history. Here is what he wrote about the location of the Dome of the Rock Mosque:
“The choice is significant. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Qur’an. Even the name “Jerusalem” does not figure in early Muslim writings.”

Of course New York City is not mentioned in the Koran either, but islamists are interested in it for the same reasons that they wanted Jerusalem 14 centuries ago: Islamic imperialist supremacy.

The Wailing Wall with it’s monolithic stones is actually the western retaining wall of the temple mount. Romans demolished the temple in 70 CE and killed, enslaved and exiled millions of Israelis. Jews have mourned the event for millinia and this is as close as they are allowed to worship to their temples historic location. The photo above shows many Bar Mitzva ceremonies being performed for poor families on a thursday afternoon recently.

Directly above this plaza sit the two 8th century arab mosques, the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa. All too often after friday prayers moslems rush out of the mosques and hurl pre-positioned stones and pieces of concrete down on the jewish worshipers. Israeli riot police must respond to quell the attacks.

An 8th century inscription on the exterior of the Al Aqsa mosque is a clear threat which still resonates with those who seek to impose Islam and sharia law on the world: God bears witness that there is no God but he, and so too the angels, those who possess knowledge, and stand firm in justice. There is no God but he, the omnipotent, the omniscient. God’s religion is Islam …Let whoever disbelieves in the signs of God beware, for God is swift in reckoning.“

It is common to see soldiers praying at the wall before departing for duty. The cavern seen in the background holds a large prayer room and a public/religious registry. This is the area where the many worshipers have been injured by falling stones.

Whenever arabs gather in the mosques Israeli police wait patiently outside the western wall, often for hours in the scorching sun, hoping that things remain calm. All entrances to the mosque area are monitored to prevent weapons or known terrorists from entering.
