Ground Zero Mosque: It's not easy being green

Central Park, Manhattan, USA.

"Parks are for the public. Parks are fun. Parks are green. And parks are not controversial," gushes Ibrahim Abdul-Matin in a Daily Beast "Exclusive: Ground Zero Mosque Goes Green," telling the online publication's readership — card-carrying members of Angelo Codevilla's "America's Ruling Class" — what they want to hear. According to his DB blurb, Ibrahim is "author of Green Deen: What Islam Teaches About Protecting the Planet," as well as "an environmental policy consultant" who has worked for something called "Interfaith Leaders for Environmental Justice." Buzzword alert alarm! Here's the Taqiyya — the Qur'an-sanctioned practice of misdirecting the Infidel's attention away from the faithful's insidious mission of imposing Shari'ah law on "the planet" — they're peddling:

Amid the uproar over the Cordoba House project, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin reveals that it will be the country's first certified "green mosque," named Park51 to connect faith and the environment.

Court of the Lions, The Alhambra, Spain.

Isn't that special? Ibrahim Abdul-Matin paints pretty pictures for our friends on the left side of the aisle who would accuse us of bigotry for fighting back against the grave robbers of Ground Zero:

In the midst of the drama around the mosque that’s being erected two blocks from Ground Zero, a few details have been left out that provide some clarity as to the purpose of this project. Specifically, the project will be the country’s first certified “green mosque,” in full compliance with stringent LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, which is why organizers have named the project Park51, rather than the oft-cited "Cordoba House."

The mosque (which is more accurately a community center with a prayer space) is located on Park Place in Downtown Manhattan, but the new name also reflects a desire to emphasize the intricate (though widely unknown) connections between Islamic teachings and environmentalism. For example, Islam calls upon people to be "stewards of the Earth" and to treat all things in nature as sacred.

All things in nature except the Infidel, not to mention the female of the species, of whatever faith. Why can't we all just get along? Al "Sex-Crazed Poodle" Gore was unavailable for comment.

There is such a simple solution. Get rid of the Human race and the planet will be green as never before.

New word in my vocabulary: taqiyyah. It explains so much. Thanks, Sissy!

Obama commented during a trip to Florida, where he expanded on a Friday night White House speech asserting that Muslims have the same right to freedom of religion as everyone else in America.

The president's statements thrust him squarely into a debate that he had skirted for weeks and could put Democrats on the spot three months before midterm elections where they already were nervous about holding control of the House and maybe even the Senate. Until Friday, the White House had asserted that it did not want to get involved in local decision-making.
