I don't think its any of your business .. Yeah, we both have an opinion, but its out of bounds for ME to have mine. A majority of New Yorkers are against the mosque. Do you know why he used the term, Cordoba Initiative? If not, you might want to find out the significance of Cordoba. I know the Cordoba Caliphate was a Muslim kingdom in formerly Christian Spain. As such it was a further advance of Islamic rule into countries that were Christian. So that name makes sense. Non-Muslims had to pay special taxes in order to be tolerated. The Cordoba Caliphate raided the Christian kingdoms remaining in northern Spain, looting them or forcing them to pay tribute to avoid looting. "State-sponsored raids into neighbouring Christian kingdoms were very lucrative throughout the history of the Caliphate. Through the early years, tribute payments were made to Córdoba to guarantee safety. ..... Taxes implemented on Jews and Christians living within the Caliphate were another source of income."
