It also doesn't scare ignorant and gullible people.

True enough. It also doesn't fit into the narrative of "wherever there is an Islamic conquest they (Muslims) erect a mosque so if we allow a mosque to be erected *anywhere* in the United States, that means that we're capitulating to having been conquered by the Saracens, I mean the Moors, sorry one more try, Al Qaeda. Isn't it wonderful that Islam can look to Christianity as an example because, I'm sure you're all aware, that there isn't a single instance--what-so-ever--of Christians building a triumphalist church on or near the site of a battlefield. Okay, if you eliminate every Christian church built in the Western Hemisphere there are no examples of that. No that doesn't quite work; not counting any churches built in the Western Hemisphere, anywhere between Istanbul in the south to Moscow in the East, any Christian churches built in Western Europe, any Christian churches in Israel, Egypt, or Algeria, or sub-Saharan Africa, you can't find a *single* instance of Christians building a triumphalist church on or near the site of a battlefield. No, that still doesn't quite work, this time for sure; if you exclude the planet occupying the third orbital position around our local star, and just count orbital positions 1, 2 and 4 (Mercury, Venus and Mars respectively) you can't find a *single* triumphalist Christian church built near a battlefield.

It's an Al Qaeda plot! Wait. If you think about it. Muslims built mosques on Earth. Earth is near the sun (relatively speaking). The sun is the gravitational center of the solar system. Reagan's ghost! Islam has conquered the solar system!!!!!! It's worse than that, in about 5 billion years, the sun is going to expand out to about the orbit of Mars, completely destroying the Earth! What I think has happened is that future Muslims have traveled *back* in time to build the Cordoba House as a sign that the final triumph of Islam will occur when the Sun (which is just a star and a number of Muslim-majority nations have stars in their flag) parboils the Earth. (The mosque couldn't be built after the sun cooks the Earth thus the traveling back in time.) Or it might be that these Muslim time-travelers are from the *very* far future (15 billion years +/-) when the Universe undergoes heat death.
