Stop the Ground Zero Rajab!!
ACLJ's litigation against the Ground Zero Mosque project is going forward, with oral arguments tomorrow. Jordan seeks to maximize the impact of popular opposition by gaining more signatures on their on line petition. If you have not yet signed the petition, use this link to go Jordan's note, which has a link to the petition at the end.
This is not really an issue of desecration of sacred soil, neither is it an issue of sensitivity. It is an issue of supremacism. Islamic doctrine holds that Islam must be superior; it must be in a dominant position. Park 51 is not a 'community center', nor is it strictly a mosque; it is a rajab: a fortification built on a site of conquest as a symbol of supremacy and a staging area for further expansion through military expeditions Islamic supremacism is best summarized in one ayat: 9:33 and Sahih Bukhari 4.52.65 but it is far deeper and broader than that. Three blog posts on that subject have been compiled into a chm file: Islamic Supremacism. Triumphalism is a similar, related and conjoined concept covered in: Know Thine Enemy Part 11.
