• 9-1-1 Mosque will Be Built on a PILE of DEAD PIGS

The perfect Karma will be when Imam Rauf completes his expensive 9-11 Mosque, and after it’s completion, discovers that he has built his Monument, proclaiming Muslim victory over America, on the pig grave yard that lies beneath the site. The area where the 9-11 Mosque will be built was used by early Colonial settlers as a huge pork holding area to control the pigs that ran wild through Manhattan Island, in the colony of New Amsterdam, now New York City.  In fact there were so many pigs roaming freely in New Asterdam that they were ruining the early settlers vegetable gardens.  In Colonial Days, New Your City was over run by wild and domestic pigs.  They were considered the city’s early “street cleaners”.  On Manhattan Island, in the colony of New Amsterdam, now New York City, the Dutch settlers constructed a long solid wall on the northern edge of the colony to control roaming herds of pigs. This area is now known as Wall Street. There was a big forest fire and pigs ran to safety in the vicinity of the old Burlington building, where the 9-11 Mosque is to be built, but it did not save them. So many of the pigs were killed by the smoke from the fire, that the Colonists did not have enough smokehouses to process and cure them. These early New York settlers had no choice, but to bury hundreds of the dead pigs right there. 

The first pigs in what is now the United States arrived from Cuba with Hernando de Soto’s expedition (1539–42) through the Southeast, and later introductions came from the British Isles, most notably to Sir John Smith’s settlement of Jamestown in 1607. A few years later, the pigs had multiplied to several hundred head. In Virginia, and elsewhere in eastern North America, pigs fit well into the forested countryside as foragers. Abundant oak and chestnut mast in the Appalachians offered a good return in meat for almost no investment in feed or care.  In late autumn, the semiferal animals were rounded up and slaughtered, and their fatty flesh was made into salt pork, which along with Indian corn was a staple of the early American diet. 

Semi-wild pigs conducted such rampages in New York Colonists’ grain fields that every owned pig, 14 inches high, had to have a ring in its nose.  As the seventeenth century closed, the typical farmer owned four or five pigs, supplying salt pork and bacon for his table with surpluses sold as barreled pork.  Pigs played an important role in the early United States Colony settlement celebrations. Swedes, and Germans frequently choose pork or ham for their New Year’s meal. They brought this tradition with them when they settled in different regions of the United States. New Englanders often combine their pork with sauerkraut to guarantee luck and prosperity for the coming year. Holiday feasts throughout the northeastern US often featured a whole roast pig with an apple in the mouth of the pig, as the cente-piece of the feast.
