It's Not a Mosque. It's Not a Cultural Center. It's a Rabat!

SEE HERE In case you wondered why the ground zero "mosque" should not be built, read this piece which reveals the true nature of this abomination. It is a celebration of the 9/11 raid (ghazva). New Yorkers understand that instinctively.

After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided. The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires. After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.
