The naming of that mosque at the 9/11 site 'Cordoba'?

Found where I remembered the reference to that name:
The name "Cordoba" has been marketed to gullible Americans as being a place where Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived in harmony and peace, but actually Medieval Muslim Spain enforced the dhimma and systematically oppressed the Jews and Christians, and was the site of a Muslim pogrom against the Jews in the year 1011 -- 1000 years before this mega-mosque is slated to open.

Maybe enough people caught on to the name's bitter irony, and the deceivers decided it was best deep-sixed.

"Cordoba House mosque near Ground Zero slaps new name on itself with Park51," by Samuel Goldsmith for the New York Daily News, July 14 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Remember the whining at the time about the evil nonbelievers being all bigoted an' all for not wanting a mosque there? Remember this bit?
Joan Brown Campbell, director of the Department of Religion at the Chautauqua
Institution in upstate New York and former general secretary of the National Council of Churches, admitted that a mosque at Ground Zero could anger infidels. But it was worth it, she said: “Building so close is owning the tragedy.”
Makes it plain what the intention is, doesn't it?
