I do want NYC to do what New Yorkers want .... the majority NOT the liberal-progressive elite who rules.

A majority of New Yorkers are against the mosque.

52%. Hardly a significant plurality. Nearly as many are for it.


I've seen higher poll numbers against it .... but 52% is still a majority and nowhere near as many support it.

Cordoba is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. It was built by Muslims as the Islamic era peaked in its advancement. It is an era that is considered very progressive and advanced......and one encouraging peace.

No, it regularly raided and exacted forced tribute against neighboring Christian kingdoms and demanded non-Muslims pay a special tax in order to be tolerated.


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."

LOL. Poor Christians. No one loves them.


Your approval of persecution of Christians is noted.
