This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report": Once again, the administration is practicing some sleight of hand. While making sure Americans know that they're taking care of Israel by selling them $2 billion worth of aviation fuel and diesel fuel (but still withholding many of the requests granted by the Bush administration), they're not making such a big deal of the fact that we're filling $23 billion in procurement requests to Turkey and other Arab nations and selling $30 billion in advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. That's a 25 to 1 ratio.

Remember what I've been emphasizing the last few weeks? It's not important what they say. It's important what they do.

If the President wants to be so inclusive of the Arab Muslim nations, then why doesn't he listen to everything they say? Most of them are desperate for someone to neutralize Iran. So desperate, in fact, that Saudi Arabia is actively helping Israel prepare for a strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities. Though the Saudis deny it publicly, they've made forward bases accessible to the Israelis and intelligence reports say they're going to allow them an air corridor over Saudi territory.

The United Arab Emirates ambassador to the United States has made a flat-out public statement. He told the media that "a military attack on Iran by whomever would be a disaster, but Iran with a nuclear weapon would be a bigger disaster." He said that an attack would spark street protests by Muslims throughout the region, but that leaders like himself would be willing to deal with that in exchange for eliminating the Iranian threat. Can you say it any more plainly?

Nine years on, German authorities have finally had enough. This week, Hamburg's interior ministry seized and closed the mosque where Mohammed Atta recruited two of the 9/11 hijackers. Under constant scrutiny since the authorities made the 9/11 connection, the Taiba Mosque in Hamburg has remained "a center of attraction for the jihad scene." That's the conclusion of a 2009 report by Germany's internal security services. But when the Germans discovered that 11 home-grown members of the mosque had trained as terrorists and two were jailed for planning an attack in Germany, they decided to act.

We're acting in America, too, but we're going in the other direction. Our authorities are falling all over themselves to open new mosques!

Remember the 1968 Mel Brooks comedy classic, "The Producers?" By staging a terrible production of the most offensive Broadway musical they could imagine, a travesty called "Springtime for Hitler," the shady producers figured the abomination would close before the curtain fell on opening night. They would then pocket all of the investment money raised when they oversold shares in the show. The plan backfired. The show was so odious, the crowd loved it and the producers had a "hit" on their hands. They were on the hook for all the money they had raised and spent, and the show could never hope to earn enough to pay everyone back. That's an absurd plot, indeed. But, then, it's a comedy movie and a zany Mel Brooks comedy at that.

But today there's a plot unfolding in Manhattan that is even zanier than "The Producers." It's called, "The Cordoba Initiative." You've been hearing dribs and drabs about it because the mainstream media has been doing its best to keep it under wraps. They knew that once the word got out, most normal Americans ("unsophisticated wackos" in liberal-speak) would oppose it. And they were right.

The plan is to build a 13-story Muslim mosque and cultural center literally only a few hundred feet from Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. The plan has cleared all the hurdles with the New York City government, mostly because Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been obsessively promoting it and pushing it.

The leader of the project, Imam Abdul Rauf, says that the mosque is intended as a gesture to build "bridges between faiths." Another proponent claims that the mosque, which will occupy the site of a 152-year old building that suffered damage in the 9/11 attack, is really a "celebration of America's religious tolerance." I'm an old tugboat captain and I have to be careful how I react when I hear (stuff) like that!

Why would a religion founded on fealty to one law, one leader, and one god -- a religion whose modern defining characteristic is its intolerance of all other faiths and traditions -- actually "celebrate" America's religious diversity. That's the very thing Islam HATES about us. How could a religion that reduces women and girls to mere chattel and considers all non-Muslims to be second-class citizens conceivably "celebrate" a non-Muslim society that believes all humans are created equal in God's sight? It's laughable. Yet our leaders and the media-types have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.

Are they that stupid or have they been intimidated into acquiescence? New York City already has more than 100 mosques. We've already proven that we really are an open, tolerant society. To say with a straight face that this is Islam's celebration of America's religious tolerance would be like the Southern Baptists building a church in Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District to "celebrate" Holland's sexual promiscuity. It doesn't make sense because it doesn't make sense.

I'll tell you why the Muslims insist on putting a 13-story mega-mosque (which, by the way, will eerily resemble a World Trade Center tower) within earshot of Ground Zero. It will be nothing less than a traditional act of Islamic triumphalism. It's a symbol of conquest.

Although the Muslims have changed the name of the proposed structure to "Park 51 Mosque," the campaign to build it is still called "The Cordoba Initiative." On this week's program, I'm going to share with you a short history lesson about the symbolism of "Cordoba" in the Islamic mind. And trust me, the Muslims are big on symbolism.
