To all viewing this blog, I am a firm opponent to the construction of the so called community centre/mosque to be built at ground zero.
Above is an aerial picture of the proposed site, shown as the area outlined by the red rectangle. This photo has been published at various locations through out the web.
You will notice this version of the picture is a little different, as there is a green rectangle in the upper left hand corner. That rectangle outlines an apartment block, the River Rose, 333 Rector Place, NYC.
It is a building I am very familiar with, as I had a relative living there for most of the 1980s into the early 1990s. Whenever I visited that relative, I would take the short walk over to the World Financial Centre, and then take the skywalk over the West Highway to the the South Tower of the WTC. There I would grab a bite to eat in the lower level, then head up to the observation level of the tower and spend hours taking in the views of one of the greatest cities on earth.
On 9/11 2001, I could therefore easily imagine in my mind's eye the horror of those trapped in the tower in the moments leading up to its collapse. And it is something I will never forget, nor will I ever forgive those who perpetrated the heinous act of terror.

To those who quickly come to the defense of the builders of the mosque, I suggest you read these 2 columns, one from a muslim, one from a catholic:

Of course if you disagree with them, you'll surely start throwing out the words racist and xenophobic, seemingly the left's only defense.

I am an opponent of the GZM and of Obama. I posted some pics here: http://thedailyrasp.blogspot.com/2010/09/911-terror-attack-fear-death-islamism.html
ReplyDeletethat I believe shows the extreme horror the pure terror of the 911 attack by Islamists. Never forget! And never forget that Obama has sais 'we are not at war with Islam'.
