Iran Threatens To Escort Gaza Blockade Runners

@Romeo13, INRE your hopes that SIOA/Gellar would go the Kelo/eminent domain route, it appears you will get your wish.

Gellar states in her Human Events op-ed today that her anti-mosque grassroots creation intends to sue the government, demanding they evoke eminent domain and declare the Burlingame Coat Factory a “war memorial”.

This may put the kabosh on both sides of the argument… or not. Gellar’s hyperbole remains as strident as ever, and is as equally insensitive as the mosque plans themselves.

Despite weather forecasts of thunderstorms, the skies were clear and beautiful Sunday afternoon for our Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA) rally against the Ground Zero mega-mosque, but not as beautiful as the patriotic crowd who came out to stand for freedom against this insulting manifestation of Islamic supremacism. It was a real cross-section of humanity: every race, creed, color and religion were out in all their glory.

And this is just the beginning. We are going to sue to designate as a war memorial the Burlington Coat Factory building, which the Muslims behind the Ground Zero Mosque initiative are already using as a mosque, and which is slated to be torn down to make way for the massive fifteen-story mega-mosque.

This is the right thing to do, since there is a large piece of an airplane in that building. That makes the building a war memorial, no less than Gettysburg or Pearl Harbor. There should be no mosque there, and nothing there but a memorial to the people America lost to that heinous attack on September 11, 2001. Instead of a mega mosque at Ground Zero, let’s build a 911 war memorial to the victims. That will give us the opportunity to redress yet another insult: the current plan for a 911 museum is several floors underground, like a dungeon. And the mosque plan calls for the mosque to be on the top floor, looking down triumphantly on the burial ground of Ground Zero.

I don’t think so.

The Burlington Coat Factory building must be a war memorial, a historic landmark. We will sue to make that happen. We are also planning another SIOA protest against the mega-mosque in September, and will stage sit-ins in front of the mosque should they try to break ground.

And we will never give up.

Three thousand good and decent Americans did not die in vain. And we have not forgotten them, even if Mayor Bloomberg and the rest of the New York political establishment have.

I wonder if Ms. Gellar has ever been asked if it would have been okay if a Christian church or Jewish temple had acquired the building for similar purposes? And I also wonder if the several hundred of those “good and decent Americans”, who were Muslim victims of the jihadist attack, would object as strenuously as Ms. Gellar to the raising of a church or temple on the site?

Guess we’ll never know.

So perhaps the middle ground is for government to step in, seize control, and stop the political battle being waged. This path certainly feeds the big Zero’s favorite solution – government being the answer to all things.

Personally I doubt such a decision will yield such a sage ruler as Solomon. The WTC memorial and the Flight 93 memorials are all fraught with continuing political battles and questionable decisions…. of which this blog is filled. Considering the method of government acquisition, if successful, Gellar and ilk may find their next protests are INRE the design, and perhaps a token plaque of thanks for a Muslim “donation” that happens in lieu of eviction.

Because, for Gellar, I’m sad to say this is not about that building or that site. It’s about Islam and Muslims. This is abundantly clear with her chosen name for her grassroots organization… “Stop the Islamization of America”. Will her followers now go to every new proposed mosque to carry out that goal?
