The Cordoba House Cultural Center

Were I to take the Cordoba Initiative's statements at face value, as so many have, I would believe that they are seeking to establish a cultural center in Lower Manhattan which just so happens also has a prayer space. According to their website they are about, "Providing expert knowledge of Islamic Law and other technical subjects for use in the public square." They go on to say that the results of this engagement of the thought process has resulted in, "Raising the bar of Islamic governance in Muslim-majority countries." Nice ambiguous Obama type language. What bar will they be raising?

I take it the community center won't be hosting Sadie Hawkins or Gay Muslim Men dances. But what exactly will they be offering the community? Perhaps some courses in Sharia Law:

Beheading 101 - One Stroke or Two? Skills development seminar.
Stoning 115 - Right Sizing Your Stone Selection to make it last.
Beating Females 267 - Within an inch of their life or go for it? What Would Mohammad Do?
Nose and Ear Bobbing 397 - Keeping your young wives, daughter or sisters in line all the time.
Dancing and Makeup 001 - (For pre-pubescent boys only.) This course explores the essentials of keeping the customers satisfied.
Trans-Generational Marriage 000 - For pre-pubescent girls only. Learn how to keep your 50+ new husband from beating and disfiguring you ... too much.
Neurological Severing 499 - The definitive advanced course in fine tuning that Sharia Standard.

Well, I've got to go now. I want to be off the street before the call to prayer comes blasting through the WTC site ... for the 5th time today.
