Holy S**t: Terrifying Political Ad

Check out this lovely Republican political ad against building a mosque at 'ground zero'.
I am absolutely terrified by this video:



First the video claims that all the Muslims declared Jihad on us - freaking crazy!!

Then the video goes on about Muslims killing us and shows some awful clips of fighting.  My guess is some very christian people made this video.  The whole video is made as if we are in a situation where we have America vs. Every Muslim on Earth.  If we let them build their giant mosque at ground zero, then they have won! Oh no!

The republicans forgot to mention the part where the mosque isn't really a mosque and how by ground zero they actually meant not ground zero!  You see this building is being built a couple blocks away from the world trade center site and looks to be in the center of a block where it will not even be in view of the site (depending on its size).  Also, the building is not a mosque, it is called the Cordoba House.  The Cordoba House is a Muslim led project to help build better Muslim-Western world relations.  The Cordoba House is actually a large community center.  The website states:
This proposed project is about promoting integration, tolerance of difference and community cohesion through arts and culture.  Cordoba House will provide a place where individuals, regardless of their backgrounds, will find a center of learning, art and culture[...]  The site will contain tremendous amounts of resources that otherwise would not exist in Lower Manhattan; a 500-seat auditorium, swimming pool, art exhibition spaces, bookstores, restaurants...
Oh man, that sounds like an awful place to have in New York.  Especially not at ground zero.  We really need to stop this project!

Kudos to the Republicans on belligerently lying and making a nightmare inducing propaganda fest out of their 1 minute bullshit story.
