We asked that question because we kept seeing the words interchanged in articles especially after this Ground Zero Mosque has caught the attention of a lot of people so we wanted to clarify the definition.
This morning we received an email from Jay Sukelow, ACLJ, with the following we excerpted:
the ACLJ is taking action. We're demanding that the State Department put a halt to the Imam's participation in this publicly-funded trip.
As you know, the ACLJ is already in court, taking the lead on this troubling issue. We're representing New York firefighter Tim Brown, a first responder who survived the Twin Towers' collapse on 9/11 and lost nearly 100 friends. We've filed suit in New York challenging a vote by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), which denied landmark status to the building where the mosque is planned.
And now, there are new revelations that the developer of the mosque project does not even own both parcels of land needed for construction of the project - raising a host of new legal questions amid serious concerns about whether the developer misled the public and New York officials in an attempt to get the mosque project approved.
What is wrong with the Mayor of New York Bloomberg, members of the City Council, et al, who have approved the building of this mosque so close to Ground Zero of the WTC towers? This is not religious tolerance even remotely. This is throwing it in our face by the Iman and his fellow Muslims that they can do whatever they want no matter that members of the Islamic Faith they preach are the ones who killed over 2600 people that day when the Islamic Jihadists hijacked planes and flew them into the World Trade Center Towers.
New York City went from having a Mayor (Rudy Guiliani) who stood up to the Islamic supporters to a political correct Mayor Bloomberg who is rumored to have paid off Thompson to stay in the race for Mayor. Who did he pay off in order to support doing away with term limits just for him or was it done so he could continue to guide the economy of NYC back BUT that was only for the rich? Is this Mosque another reason why he fought for a 3rd term?
Harris Sherline in his editorial at GOP USA said what most of us have thinking about this Mosque:
Sherline: The Mosque At Ground ZeroRepresentative Peter King (R-NY) asked for an inquiry into the funding of the Mosque at Ground Zero in an interview he had with AP. Will he get his request honored? Probably not until January 2013 after the new Congress takes office. We have no faith in Pelosi and her puppets looking into any funding involving the Islamic mosque at Ground Zero.

I don't appreciate being lectured on fairness, that is, what my attitude should be about some particular issue, based on whether I am willing to be "tolerant" of "the other" point of view, which amounts to agreeing that my own opinion is wrong. The Mosque at Ground Zero is a case in point. Furthermore, I am also not interested in being politically correct to the point that I am willing to tolerate the in-your-face construction of a $100 million Islamic cultural center and mosque at ground zero, within a stone's throw of the World Trade Center (WTC).
And, notwithstanding the support of New York City's Mayor Bloomberg and other civic leaders, including the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission, it's clear that millions of other Americans oppose what they see as a deliberate assault on the sensibilities of those who lost friends and family in the WTC attack on 9/11.
Attorney Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has filed an action urging the New York state Supreme Court, arguing that the mosque currently on the site deserves "landmark status," which would prevent the building that now occupies the site from being torn down. His brief compares building a mosque and cultural center at ground zero to "putting a monument to kamikaze pilots at the Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor." In addition, he questions the source of the $100 million that will be needed for the projects, asking: "where is this money coming from and who's behind it?"

We note that Democrat candidate for Governor Cuomo supports the building of this mosque which should make the NY debates for Governor extremely interesting. Will Republicans finally run campaigns to win in NY? This is the year that those supporting the Ground Zero Mosque need defeated.
NEW YORK -- The ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee said Monday he favors an investigation into the funding of a proposed mosque near ground zero.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Rep. Peter King raised concerns about the sources of funding for the proposed $100 million mosque, just blocks away from the site of the Sept. 11 attacks, where nearly 3,000 Americans died at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
"It's a house of worship, but we are at war with al-Qaida," King told the AP. "I think the 9/11 families have a right to know where the funding comes from; I think there are significant questions."
The mosque is a project of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Institute, which promotes cross-cultural understanding between Islam and the West. Cordoba's director, Imam Faisel Abdul Rauf, has refused to disclose the sources of funding for the mosque and once suggested in a television interview that U.S. policies contributed to the 9/11 attacks.
King's views differ sharply from those of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who said Monday it would be un-American to investigate the mosque. Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-independent, has backed the mosque since the project came under development, as do numerous other community and political leaders including Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic nominee for governor.

The Muslims have made a major tactical blunder with the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, and we Islamically-aware counterjihadists need to use it and strike while the iron is hot. The Muslim grand strategy requires incremental creeping Sharia and supremacism, where Islam insidiously takes over and slowly destroys Western civilization by a thousand cuts. Every advance should be so small that the 'najis kafir sons of pigs and monkeys' (that's us, folks!) either don't notice it, or can't be bothered to oppose such a minor irritation.
But this abomination has half awoken the sleeping giant of American Public Opinion. We need to keep prodding the giant to prevent him falling back to sleep, and hopefully get him to awake fully. To do this we need to spread our message beyond the counter-jihadist blogosphere, using local media and social networks etc.
We also need to link the Mosque issue to the general problems of Islamic supremacism in as many ways as possible, a full list of topics can be found here.
A particular example that most Americans will be unaware of is the Islamic motivation for the Beslan child-rape orgy and massacre, the sixth anniversary of which approaches. The MSM went to great lengths to cover up both the vileness of the sexual tortures, and the Muslim involvement and Islamic doctrinal basis of this attack on kafir children
Although Beslan did not produce the greatest number of casualties of the current jihad, it exceeds all others in its sadism and depravity, and graphically illustrates what we have allowed into the West. Please ensure through your blogs and forums that the anniversary of Beslan is not forgotten this year.
