Why the Mosque?

You notice that this blog is in memory of Dr. Tom Little, an optometrist who was martyred two weeks ago today. You have also noticed that there is far more talk about the conflict of the mosque in New York than there is about Little’s passing. And no one has yet suggested that there is any connection between the two. Until this blog. Tom Little’s martyrdom (as well as the other nine members of his team) was a great victory for certain Moslems in their struggle against infidels. This is a life and death struggle (sometimes called jihad). It is identical to what happened on September 11, 2001.  All Moslems who agree with that struggle must participate in the celebration of the victory that slew Dr. Little. Obviously the death of a few doctors and their multitalented team was a great loss to many poverty-stricken Afghans who desperately need their sacrificial service. But that is a small price to pay for the spiritual purification of the Afghanistan.

And 9/11 was likewise, a great victory for the general purification of the world. If you would understand what looks like senseless killing, you must understand this mindset. The Taliban who killed the medical team two weeks ago were less sophisticate then the nineteen hijackers. But the goal was identical and the results were equally successful. No one knows for sure how many of the 1.2 billion Moslems in the world celebrated these victories, but we know that there are many who did. Both sets of killers did their perceived duty to Allah with the expectation that every Moslem will celebrate their victory.

The construction of the mosque in New York is just such a celebration. It masquerades as an attempt at reconciliation, but as this firestorm heats up, it must be obvious that reconciliation is not the goal. The truth is that Moslems worldwide have no confusion about this mosque; it is a monument to a great victory.

In my second edition to “God in the Pits; the Enron Jihad edition,” I wrote a chapter that attempted to explain the mystery of 9/11. My chapter was perceived by New Yorkers as a justification of 9/11. It wasn’t, or course, and I’m sorry it was thus misunderstood. Instead, it was an explanation to help the confused understand what appeared senseless. (see more at http://www.godinthepits.com/) The attacks of 9/11 were, in fact, rational acts, consistent with a certain Islamic view of reality.

It is not the purpose of this blog to take a position on a zoning issue in New York. Freedom in America includes the freedom to be insensitive. If New York allows it and builds it, we will have the mosque. The goal of this blog is to help you understand what this mosque means. Next time I will discuss why it cannot be moved to another location.
