Ground Zero Mega Mosque Audaciously Diabolical Design: Pentagons, Crosses, Jewish Stars
More observations on the diabolically audacious design of the Ground Zero mega Mosque revealed this week. I thought this was a very good observation on the dreaded Ground Zero mega Mosque; it was left in the Atlas comment section by TieDye: Regarding the visual design of the facade of the Mosque: Yes, there are many Stars of David, and as well, there are pentagons. They are stylized, but definitely there: the "clusters" of very thick framework within the design are all groupings...

Games CEO worried by Delhi security

The O.J. Simpson Case and the War on Terrorism
Eight years ago this month, much of America came to a standstill to watch the jury deliver a verdict in the O.J. Simpson Murder trial. That "trial of the century" and the quick acquittal of Simpson shocked the nation because the evidence against Simpson was described to be "mountainous." Today, the Simpson case, oddly enough, is relevant to the war on Terrorism and to Civil Liberties. Since the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, many conservative lawyers and pundits have repeatedly raised...

Caution, Rahm, It's a Long Way From Washington to Chicago
Rahm Emanuel is a legend in Washington politics. In many ways he reminds me of the late Lee Atwater, another legendary Washington political operator who was a Republican Kingmaker in the 1980s. But here is a key difference between Emanuel and Atwater. Atwater never held elected office. Atwater was a winning Presidential Campaign Strategist and Republican party leader. He was a master dealmaker, a political operative of the highest order. But he knew his limits. He was never the Candidate...

Cordoba House!

Diabolically Audacious: Design, Jizya, and Sharia Financing The Ground Zero Mega Mosque
The Islamic supremacists get more bold and naked in their motive. They have released the architectural renderings of the tumbling Star of Davids here . But back in May, it was reported that the morphing Mosque had a different architectural plan. The plan calls for a 15-story building, including two levels below Ground. There is no architect. Instead, the builders plan to hold a "world-class design competition." What happened to the worldwide competition and how did we get the...

Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie: Auschwitz and the Mosque Near Ground Zero
Jewish Americans have generally been more supportive of the Cordoba House project than other Americans. Jews have been denied Religious Freedom and been the Victims of Religious Discrimination so frequently that their natural sympathies lie with others who now confront these burdens. Nonetheless, even those most firmly committed to building the Community Center/Mosque in Lower Manhattan have struggled with the seemingly powerful argument that what happened at Auschwitz in the 1980s is a reason...

Learning From the Talking Piece
As the national feud over the Islamic Mosque that is to be built near the site of Ground Zero in New York City grows hotter, what would happen if the opposing sides did what the Children in that 4 th grade class did, sit in a circle, use a talking piece, and respectfully hear the other side's perspective. When those 4 th graders are adults, will they be able to respond to conflicts over Mosques, Immigration, Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, or other hot issues of their day using a healing circle?...

Push-polling in Queens
A reader who's also a registered Republican in Queens wrote in to say he got what sounded like a combination of negative message-testing and push-polling yesterday that was completely anti-Andrew Cuomo. I've e-mailed Carl Paladino's team but haven't heard back yet. But the call lasted so long — well over 15 minutes — that my reader lost track of some of the questions. But he said the call, which he said was conducted by an outfit calling itself First Media Services,...
