A mosque is scheduled to be built near the World Trade Center. This has brought all the right wing bigots out in force. It even has the Anti Defamation League defaming Muslims. Here is an interesting critic of the critics.

Professor Newt's Distorted History Lesson

"There are any number of reasons why an American might oppose the Cordoba House, the planned $100 million Muslim-financed community center that has come to be known in the press as the "Ground Zero mosque." I don't think any of them are particularly good reasons, but the universe of potential justification is much broader than the narrow scope of this humble blog. There is one justification being floated around, however, that is both within this blog's purview and completely and totally bogus. Indeed, this particular justification is such an egregious and purposeful misreading of medieval history that I feel I must speak up."

Here are some pictures of the Cordoba House namesake. It's one of the architectural marvels of the world.
