The Cordoba Initiative: First Step, Infiltration

Barack Obama made the following statement:

"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." -- source

Perhaps at face value and after decades of liberals trying to tell us the United States of America wasn't built on Christian values, Obama's stand sounds simply like a man defending the rights of his fellow Americans. But upon further consideration, we should look at the contrast of Obama telling Israel that they shouldn't build more settlements in their own territory because it would be insensitive to the surrounding Muslims.

"Now, Israel is going to have to take some difficult steps as well, and I shared with the Prime Minister the fact that under the roadmap and under Annapolis that there’s a clear understanding that we have to make progress on settlements. Settlements have to be stopped in order for us to move forward. That’s a difficult issue. I recognize that, but it’s an important one and it has to be addressed." -- source

As the push to build the mosque and " Islamic cultural center" in the shadow of the former World Trade Center towers continues, perhaps the media, Obama and some of the public are not aware of the important and revealing historic significance of the planned name of the structure as well as the name of the organization overseeing the plan.


THE CORDOBA INITIATIVE

The location where the planned mosque and culture center are to be built is called Park 51 but the structure itself would be called Cordoba House -- source. Perhaps our first question is, what was on the site before 911? The location was the former site of a long abandoned Burlington Coat Factory. But the building was originally constructed in 1857-1858. It was hit by pieces of the plane that struck the WTC. The fact that the building was hit by those pieces has been used by opponents to have the site protected as landmark. The effort failed.

Others have noted the insult by the name Cordoba.


CORDOBA SIGNIFICANCE

8th century Cordoba Spain was the site of the initial infiltration of Islam in to the West (Europe). In 711AD, Muslim invaders took the city and turned it into perhaps one of the largest cities in the world at the time. (source). The Muslims connected to the Park 51 project cite this as the reason for their decision to name the building, Cordoba House, further claiming that Cordoba Spain was an example of Muslim-Christian-Jewish co-existence.

But the truth of Cordoba is that Christians DIDN'T peacefully coexist with the Islamic invaders. The Christians were murdered while peacefully resisting.

The Christian Martyrs of Cordoba

Unlike when Muslims use the word "martyr" which they often mean someone who kills themselves while killing others, the original and correct definition of the word martyr is someone who dies for a cause; and most often without any violence from themselves. This was exactly the case in Cordoba Spain in the 8th-9th centuries where unlike as portrayed by the current Muslims, Christians were NOT happy to live under the dominance of Islam. (source)

Once the Muslims took Cordoba, they initiated Shariah Law which establishes a secondary status for non-Muslims wherein they will be tolerated as long as they pay a "protection tax" and do not blaspheme Islam. (source) As an aside, the Cordoba Initiative also has an interest in advancing Shariah. (source)


ISLAMIC INFILTRATION

Under the guise of establishing "tolerance" and understanding, and misusing the American ideology of freedom of religion (which was originally intended to operate only within the Christian confines -- not establishing one Christian denomination over another), the Muslims are either purposely or unwittingly following the Cordoba model of Islamic infiltration.

The first step is to build strongholds in the midst of America; since Islam is not able to conquer America by military might. Once these strongholds are established and American society "accepts" them as part of America; the Islamic agenda is furthered.

It is not about Muslims building so close to the "Ground Zero" site as if they wanted to show not all Muslims are terrorists. Otherwise how could of these Muslims been so insensitive to the REAL historic aspect of naming anything Cordoba? Could you imagine if in Iraq or Afghanistan we built embassies and called them the "Crusader Houses", claiming we did so because we viewed the Crusades as time when Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in "peace" (due to the dominance of the Crusaders). Look how hostile many Muslims become simply if someone draws a cartoon of Muhammad.


CONCLUSION

Although America is the bastion of freedom, and legally the Muslims have every right to build their mosque and "cultural/community center" at the Park 51 site; what does it say about the consideration of these Muslims? They flout insulting historic connections and then try to cover them up by changing the name from Cordoba House to Park 51. This doesn't change that the real agenda is clear. Infiltration and then dominance. This is the tactic used even by movements such as the homosexual movement. First, they appear to simply ask for "tolerance" and "acceptance" and they portray anyone that would not allow that as "phobic" (afraid) or "bigoted". After "tolerance" is established, then the agenda moves to influence where the group attempts to influence policy and practice within society. Eventually, after the infiltration is complete, the group openly dismantles the "freedom" that allowed them to gain establishment; such as the Islamic desire to import Shariah into America.

The complete lack of historical knowledge allows Americans, especially American politicians to be completely duped. As Christianity's agenda and goal is to spread and overtake, so is the goal and agenda of Islam but where Christianity has as its original mandate conversion by ideological persuasion (regardless whether some Christians have forced conversion via violence, such violence means is not within the original mandate); Islam on the other hand has as its governing principle, a policy of conversion by force. Islam from the very beginning has a policy of subduing and conquering other cultures via violence. Muhammad himself advocated and practiced such a form of forced conversion against the peoples around him. So, when I hear Americans claim "Islam is a religion of peace" I am baffled by the utter lack of historic knowledge of Islam.

So, what do we as Americans do? Our laws, as being interpreted to extend to "freedom of religion", not just within the Christian confines is allowing America to be supplanted from the inside out. Eventually, the very same laws that formed America into a pillar of freedom will allow the Muslims to transform America into the New Cordoba where "all live in peace"...well in "peace" in the same manner of the oppressed second-class conquered people of the original Cordoba lived. Under the dominance of Shariah and "protection tax" as long as Islam was not opposed.

Someone might say, "But it is just one mosque. What is the big deal"? It is all about the symbolism; from the name of Cordoba, to building it in the area where Islamic mentality of expansion by violence intruded, to the very fact that Shariah is even dared mentioned. Today this one mosque, tomorrow the New Cordoba.
