Who needs enemies
With "conservative" friends like Conor Friedersdorf, just another self-serving, cocktail party personality, a soul sucking dick who probably voted for Obama thinking it made him smarter than you, me and the Governor of Alaska.
And who would go Nazi.
No surprises he supports the genocide mosque at Ground Zero. I am excerpting a small part of an excellent piece by Raymond Ibrahim linked in Hot Air's take down. Something to remember the next time some ignorant traitor waxes eloquent about Andalusia. It's that or taking the debate outside.
Oddly enough, the so-called “tolerant” era of Cordoba supposedly occurred during the caliphate of ‘Abd al-Rahman III (912-961) — well over a thousand years ago. “Eight hundred years ago,” i.e., around 1200, the fanatical Almohids — ideological predecessors of al-Qaeda — were ravaging Cordoba, where “Christians and Jews were given the choice of conversion, exile, or death.” ...
In fact, the true history of Cordoba, not to mention the whole of Andalusia, is far less inspiring than what Western academics portray: the Christian city was conquered by Muslims around 711, its inhabitants slaughtered or enslaved. The original mosque of Cordoba — the namesake of the Ground Zero mosque — was built atop, and partly from the materials of, a Christian church. Modern day Muslims are well aware of all this. Such is the true — and ominous — legacy of Cordoba.
