“I also take issue with their name for the cultural center.”
It’s called Park51 – what’s to take issue with?
Cordoba? Oh, right- because those who don’t know much about world history interpet that to mean ” Oh lawdy,lawdy! Islam is taking over!! Oh, lawdy, lawdy!!)
If we want to talk about conquest, let’s talk about Ferdinand and Isabella,the Inquisition and the conquest of the Americas. Of course this all took place hundreds of years ago, but benson is one to hold a grudge.
Some people think it should be Park666 but since it’s supposed to be a cultural center, perhaps Park69 is a little more apropo 😉
DH- your answer about the chaps, please?
There’s still an awful lot of misinformation in this thread. The CC will not be called the Cordoba Center.
I think they should change the name to Park69.
“It’s called Park51 – what’s to take issue with?”
it’s obvious with the lack of a space btw Park and 51 that they hate America and our freedom
DH- you are planning to wear those without underwear or jeans, I hope? 😉
Jessi- yes it was.

You’ll be fine, DH – so long as you don’t dress like an dandy.

Benson – I heard the name Cordoba was used to celebrate the time in that city when Jews, Muslims, and Catholics all lived together peacefully.
“ugh – need to get home soon. gotta pick up my ass-less chaps”
