Flight 93 father: ground zero mosque is the SECOND mosque being built on a 9/11 site

Flight 93 father: ground zero mosque is the SECOND mosque being built on a 9/11 site

Pamela Geller, who is leading the fight against the ground zero mosque in New York, has posted the following letter from Tom Burnett Senior.


To our fellow 9/11 families and to all who are concerned about the Ground Zero mega-mosque in New York:

We want everyone to know that the Park Service is right now building an even larger Islamic victory mosque atop the Flight 93 crash site. Many of you were outraged in 2005 when the Crescent of Embrace design was unveiled to be a half-mile wide Islamic shaped crescent:


Left: 2005 publicity shot of the Crescent of Embrace design. Right: typical Islamic crescent and star, viewed from a similar angle.

Few people know that this giant crescent actually points to Mecca, or understand the religious significance of this orientation. A crescent that points the direction to Mecca is a very familiar construct in the Islamic world. Because Muslims face Mecca for prayer, every mosque is built around a Mecca direction indicator called a mihrab. The classic mihrab is crescent shaped. Here are the two most famous mihrabs in the world:


Left: the Mihrab of the Prophet, at the Prophet's mosque in Medina. Right: the mihrab of the Great Mosque in Cordoba Spain.


Face into the crescent to face Mecca

As with the Medina and Cordoba mihrabs, a person facing into the Crescent of Embrace will be facing Mecca. In the image below, superimposed red lines show the orientation of the Flight 93 crescent. The green qibla circle is from an online Mecca-direction calculator:


A person standing between the tips of the crescent and facing into the center of the crescent (red arrow) will be facing almost exactly in "qibla" direction (the Muslim prayer direction). You can verify the qibla direction from Somerset PA using any number of on-line Mecca-direction calculators.

To be precise, the Crescent of Embrace points 1.8° north of Mecca, ± a tenth of a degree. The final construction drawings alter this orientation slightly, so that instead of pointing a little less than two degrees north of Mecca, the actual crescent will point less than three degrees south of Mecca. Such small deviations from Mecca are insignificant by Islamic standards, which developed over a period of more than a thousand years during which far flung Muslims had no accurate way to determine the direction to Mecca.

The Park Service does not call the Crescent of Embrace a crescent anymore. Now they call it Circle of Embrace, but the only actual change was to add an extra arc of trees (planted to the rear of a person facing into the giant crescent) that explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle. The unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace. It is still a giant Islamic shaped crescent, still pointing at Mecca.

This is the Park Service's official explanation for the design: the terrorist attacks are depicted as smashing our peaceful circle and turning it into a giant crescent. A clearer depiction of Islamic victory is hard to imagine, so no one should be too surprised that the damned thing points to Mecca, and actually turns out to be a mosque.


Other mosque features

Mosque design is based on a dozen typical mosque features, every one of which is realized in the Crescent/Circle design, all on the same epic scale as the half mile wide crescent-mihrab. Note, for instance, that the 93 foot tall minaret-like Tower of Voices is topped with another Islamic-shaped crescent, akin to the crescent-topped minarets seen in many Islamic countries:


An Islamic shaped crescent, soaring in the sky above the symbolic lives of the 40 heroes, which literally dangle down below. In Islam, there is only heaven and hell. Symbolic damnation?

The Flight 93 mosque needs to be stopped, along with the Islamic victory mosque at ground zero in Manhattan. May the fight against these two desecrations strengthen each other.

Sincerely,

Tom Burnett Senior
Loving father of Flight 93 hero Tom Burnett Junior

Deportation to Death---But Mommy and Daddy Loves Rifqa

UPDATE on Rifqa Bary

The teenage girl who converted to Christianity and ran away from home is being blocked by her Muslim parents from fighting the possibility of deportation, her attorney told a judge today in an ongoing custody dispute.

Rifqa Bary, 17, who fled home last year and stayed with a Florida minister whom she met on Facebook, is an illegal immigrant and does not want to be returned to her native Sri Lanka because she fears being harmed or killed by Muslim extremists.

Her attorney, Angela Lloyd, asked a judge to sign an order stating that reunification with her parents is not possible by her 18th birthday in August. The order would allow Bary, who is in foster care, to apply for special immigration status without her parents' consent.

Judge Gill denied Mohamed and Aysha Bary's motion to back out of a deal made on January 19th to allow Rifqa to remain in foster care and attempt reconciliation through the court system. The parents pretended to not know that Rifqa still had contact with other Christians and cried foul once they got Rifqa to plead 'unruly'.

Their plan backfired today as Judge Gill ruled that the deal made on January 19th would remain in effect and essentially claimed that reconciliation will only be possible if the parents stop the court antics and actually try to talk to Rifqa using the court-appointed counselors.

The Columbus Dispatch and the rest of the CAIR controlled media continues to report that the Lorenzes in Florida are under investigation (which is not true as they have been cleared by FDLE). However, Brian Williams does remain under investigation in Ohio where helping to save someone's life is now a criminal act.

For more information, check these sources out:

Note the disappointed tone of "Hijab"ß Heagney at the Columbus Dispatch.

Also, read how sympathetic the Associated Press is with the parents who "just want a reasonable, good faith chance at reconciliation". You would think that loving parents wouldn't drag their child to court for 6 months, making and breaking every deal made, spreading libel and allowing serious defamation to make its way around the internet accusing Rifqa of partying and sleeping around with random men.

It is amazing how many people are ignorant to the true nature and agenda of Islam and sharia law. I would recommend any who believe the deceptive rhetoric that claims Islam is really a peaceful and loving religion to read the Koran. Do not read the totally worthless Western version, however, as it plays with words and phrases to deceive. There are several versions for that reason. This is why the first Pillar (Shahadah) of the Koran is to read the Koran in Arabic, so the real message is obtained. A true muslim wouldn't want to misinterpret the command to kill infidels, or Israelis on site at every opportunity as we are all Satan's spawn.

OK To Lie For jihad But Converting Means Death

Many involved in Biblical Prophecy journalism could not refuse the hot topic of late. During the G20 meetings and Barack Obama's New World Order/apalogy tour, He bowed to the

King, Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud. Obama's administration immediately dismissed this obvious gesture as "He was being courteous because the King is shorter."

If the Ayatollah is like the Pope in the Muslim world, King Abdullah is like the Arch-Bishop. They can say whatever, to explain this away, and many ignorant people and Obama 'cult' followers will believe it. The truth is, it came from Obama's heart. It is obviously a bow, with a genuflect added in. To Obama, this was probably the greatest moment, so far, of being the President. It will only be topped when he visits Iran, and goes all the way to the floor in front of the Ayatollah.

Many Christians call this an apostasy. Obama an apostate? That is what called me to jump on the proverbial wagon and join the thousands writing about this. So many think Obama really thought he was a Christian at one time, and is falling away. A 'drunk with power' sort of syndrome. Why are so many fooled by this man? He has never been a Christian for one second of his Socialist life. Not to mention, his slashing the dignity of the Presidency.

I don't disparage when I say the Muslim faith is corrupt and divisive. The same thing Obama accused America of, during his speech in Turkey on his tour. I am not speaking off the cuff. I have had first hand experience and knowledge of that which I speak. Let me start by giving you a little background on how the Muslim faith, or the Koran, got started. Loosely based on the Old Testament, they believe Jesus was a prophet, but, mostly incorrect. Their big prophet, Mohamed, was a drunk, and an illiterate. He was working as a hand on a camel train in the desert when he met a well-to-do widow, and married her. He didn't work anymore, so he took up drinking more.

One day, in a drunken stupor, Mohamed began babbling unintelligible words. His buddies thought it was some sort of spiritual conjuring, and as the word spread, it also grew. Scribes were called, as Mohamed loved the attention, and he babbled on a regular basis. They were convinced he was speaking in tongues, and they were able to translate. Sound Holy?

This is why the Muslims get so mad when they hear of cartoons or ill words against their wholly man (I spelled it right). They know he was a clown, and as a defense to keep their people ignorant, they fight any criticism to the death. The religion is based on lies and hate. This is a simple fact, but, when described as such, the liberals wig out, as it is not politically correct to categorize it as such. It makes them feel like our religion is better than theirs. It is better... it's the only true God. There is no other.

Another myth about the Muslim religion, is they are basically loving peaceful people, it is just the radicals who believe in killing. That nonsense only comes from ignorance, or liars. Death to infidels is their belief, not the doctrine of a few. The Koran teaches all non believers which cannot be converted, should be eliminated. In fact, all infidels are supposed to be eliminated before the mufti (their equivalent to Jesus) can return. This is why Mahmud Ahmahnuhttjhob, President of Iran, is so dangerous. He believes that he can hurry the return of the mufti by initiating WWIII.Then, the world can be cleansed of all infidels.

Barack Hussein Obama, aka, Berry Soetoro was first enrolled in a Kenya school at the age of 7. It is widely believed, with vast evidence, he was born in Kenya, which makes him ineligible to be President. In any event, it is listed on records to enter school his religion is Islam. This had to be listed, as he was entering a Catholic based facility, and it is illegal to attempt any conversion.

Circled is Barack in school in Indonesia, where he was claimed as citizenship. Indonesia does not acknowledge dual citizenship, and it would not be legal to run for President. Barack has always claimed he never lived in Kenya and was never Muslim. Whenever evidence and proof has been introduced, Barack starts crying they are lying, picking on him, "Because he doesn't look like all the other Presidents on the dollar bills". In the Muslim faith, it is fine to lie, and take advantage of other people. If they get away with it, even if it hurts the other person, especially an infidel, it was their time to be blessed by Allah, and the victims time to be educated. Completely opposite of the Christian teaching of loving and helping even your enemy.

Barack has made several public statements, condescending of the Christian faith. He does not like Christians. He does not like America or our Constitution. His agenda for America is to lead us into the New World Order, as was the Bush's, and the Clintons. The elitists in this country are led only by greed and power. They have no love for our founding fathers way of government to ensure the elimination of tyranny. The way to achieve the global plan is to eliminate our values as Christians, and Patriots. When anyone speaks out against Barack, or his ridiculous plans supposedly meant to cure the economy, a pack of liberal politicians and Hollywood celebrities hit the mainstream media repeating the same rhetoric talking points over and over.

*

Biblically, Barack cannot be the Antichrist, but, he is so evil it makes many wonder. If he is shot and pronounced dead, then comes back to life, I will be astounded for two reasons: 1.) everybody was wrong in regards to logistics in the Bible's interpretation of where the Antichrist originates; and 2.) It means I missed the rapture. Even though all this is written, and nothing can stop Bible prophecy, we are all expected to fight for our country, which has been blessed until now.

*

As more and more states go against the popular vote and bow to the few in order to allow gay marriage, we won't remain blessed. As we take more steps to eliminate God from society, we will more lose our blessing. As we accept the ugly nature of Hollywood and the revolution against Christians and Israel grows and we continue to kill babies, our blessings are all but gone. This is not the same christian based country that God blessed us with two and a half centuries ago. Anyone who picks up a Bible can verify the rapid succession of events in the past few years to fulfill prophecy.

The Obama apostacy, technically, is when he fell away from his Muslim faith (for jihad) in order to pose as a Christian (in the name of allah) to ensure election. Unfortunately, for America, by the Muslim faith, this charade is fine, as the end justifies the means. below is enrollment for Barry into 1st grade, in Indonesia:

Dr Orly Taits and Major Cook speak in front of Courthouse where suit was filed questioning Obama's eligibility to be Commander in Chief (app. 170 military incl. several comm.officers)

Obama uses U.S. tax Dollars to fly to Kenya in Support of Cousin Raila Odinga, who loses democratic election then burns out and kills Christian opposition
