“Allahu akbar” — Allah is greater — was most likely the last call of the attackers as they steered their planes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, killed thousands and took the loved ones of tens of thousands from this world. “Allahu akbar” was most certainly the calls of hundreds of thousands of Muslims that danced for joy in the streets on that day and gave each other gifts of sweets. “Allahu akbar” will from now on and for ever ring out into the place of those gruesome actions where even nine years later body parts are still being found.
Die WELT reports:
The Historic Preservation authorities in New York approved of the tearing down of a standing block there, the “New York Times” and the “Wall Street Journal” reported in similar articles. The Muslim community intends to build a 15-story community center whose centerpiece will be a large mosque in the place of the 150-year-old building. Many Americans have protested against it, calling the building of an Islamic house of prayer in the place where almost 3,000 people were killed by Islamist terrorists distasteful and tactless
For almost nine years nothing has been built at Ground Zero. However, from the enormous pit from the building in South Manhattan only a few iron beams reach into the sky, there is still nothing of a new building to be seen. And even now there are still bodies being found in the rubble. Only a good 100 meters away is where the Islamic center will appear, for around 100 million dollars (around 76 million euros). The planers affirm that the house will indeed be a Muslim one, but that it should be open to all religions.
Opponents of the project speak of a “citadel of Islamism,” of a “slap in the face” of the victims and their loved ones. “It is a tragic mistake to tear up a 154-year-old building in order to erect a monument to terrorism,” one stirred up local resident stated in the last hearing. Advocates of the mosque denounced their opponents completely as racist.
The direct loved ones of the victims were a little more reserved. Sally Regenhard told the “New York Times,” “People are being accused of being anti-Muslim and racist, but this is simply a matter of sensitivity.” Her son, a fireman, died in the collapsing World Trade Center. ” “It’s hard enough to go down to that pit of hell and death.”
The xenophile cyclops whom the critics of Islam slander as being racist are recognized very well by us here. Here as well as there, the argumentation is similar: a mosque at Ground Zero would show that the many peaceful Muslims, not the attackers, are the ones who correctly interpret the Quran. But where were all these peaceful Muslims when the misled ones were cheering? The Muhammadans, who would otherwise react at the least insult against their faith in a worldwide protest, remained silent. There was neither protest against the murderers in the name of Islam nor against those that were cheering.
Does the sign of a mosque at Ground Zero not hide the danger that the less peaceful Muslims of all people feel confirmed in their interpretation that a school of law has never contradicted? Musn’t it be a sign of the blood-thirsty Allah for these in their knowledge of the Quran that after the destruction of the towers a mosque to his glory will now be erected? Doesn’t that seem like an encouragement to repeat the same thing in other places until Islam has had victory overall, just as the Quran demands?
It is for good reason that civilized people refuse to allow those whom they have recognized as criminals to put up memorials. What kind of symbolism would a memorial to Hitler have in Auschwitz? Why, then, is America spitting on the graves of the victims?
