This Is Where I Will Spit on the Koran
Pictured are the final two designs being considered for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center. They each include structures that would rise higher than any in the world — over 300 feet taller than the Twin Towers. They each allocate space for a respectful memorial. But only one of them — the final, rebuilt WTC — will be where I ascend to the greatest height possible and spit between the pages of a Koran.

And then I will drop it to the floor, rub my foot in it, raise two defiant middle fingers to the sky and mouth the words "fuck you."

I will not do this out of disrespect for any law-abiding Muslims who are not planning to hijack planes, behead kidnapped reporters or bomb Bali tourist spots. I have defended them here and in my "real" life many times. This will just be a little message for my friends' murderers that they have an ass-whooping waiting for them, but not before I'm done down here.

Other New York Links:

NY Post Columnist Recalls Punching Out Phil Spector — Steve Dunleavy recounts how the Robert Blake of the week was a grade-A dipshit at Elaine's on the Upper East Side back in 1993. Reminds me of the time me and a couple of friends stopped by after a bachelor party to, as my buddy put it, "to hit on divorced, lonely broads." We really weren't welcome there.

Missouri Man Seeks 1-BR in New York for $650/Month — I think this listing for a place on the "Upper Western Side" with good parking is bullshit, but funny nonetheless.

Gawker — A smart Manhattan weblog magazine filled with daily nuggets of content and links to NYC-related articles and sites. This defies the law of blogs, which states that 99.9 percent of each one is total crap. I swear I can't name but a few I actually like.

VIP LIFE: An Elite NYC Social Club — Speaking of things I want to spit on.

Big Apple Blogger Bash — Around 40 NYC bloggers have already RSVPed for this Friday. I don't know any of 'em, but I expect to have a good time anyway. Why not come by?

200 New Pics at NYCBP.com's Camera Club (Gallery Nos. 38-41) — The horny old guys are back with more pictures of the NYC bar scene than I could ever image. Allow me to present the highlights: Rebecca from Yogi's | Sneak attack | Erik's award | Say yes to crack | Fat, hairy back, in pain

Those Red Sox fans crack me up every time.

Gotta be a Sox fan. Notice how he has the "Caps" button on and doesn't seem to notice?

BTW, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read that Missouri posting for an aprtment in the "Big Apples". If that guy doesn't define the term "Rube", I don't know who does. I'm willing to bet good money he gets fast talked out of all his posessions the minute he gets off the bus at Penn Station.

Reminds me of the classic Marx Brothers line:

CHICO: "Three dollars. Can he live in New York on three dollars?"

GROUCHO: "Like a prince. Of course, he won't be able to eat, but he can live like a prince."

I don't care for either of the designs. I would have liked to have seen something from the woman who designed THE WALL.

Out of the two though I like columns the best.

And spitting on the koran? That's not very nice. I think peeing on Osama's picture might be better.

Posted by Yummy at February 5, 2003 4:21 PM

My favorite episode of South Park is "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants". In fact it still makes me laugh mostly because it helps me express my emotion toward a whole set of events that I don't really care to set to words. I agree with you that most Muslim's are not terrible however those few who hide behind the word of Ali for motivation in a quest to destroy I say never forget what they have done and never stop watching them. I also am of the opinion that legitimate Muslim's should double any and all efforts to stop these folks from using the Koran as a building block of recruiting evil. I have read the thing and I can tell you most of it has nothing to do with anything that they talk about... So I to will stand up and say I am glad you are not afraid to express your opinion Mr. Katcher.

Posted by nels at February 5, 2003 4:31 PM

Urination and Osama, of course, crossed my mind. But I don't want anyone taking a picture of me pissing on something. I fear it might get in the hands of some fetish sickos. And Osama is an overrated, skinny goat-sucking bitch.

I just want five minutes in an observation deck, looking over Manhattan, where I will deliver a private "go fuck yourself" for those 19 evil men who killed thousands in the name of their religion.

Did you catch CP coming out with audio and satellite images... Saying look you UN monkeys I have proof that you are so slow with your announced movements that they move the stuff in the time it takes you to drive there... not to mention did you catch those wild peg leg terrorist references?

Posted by nels at February 6, 2003 1:37 AM

hey Paul, I just surfed in on your site from another blog, Im a former marine, stationed in saudi arabia for 2 years. no words can describe the grade-a scum that flew those planes into wtc... however, "spit on the koran"? Paul, I must say you are wrong, the actions of a few do not represent the billions of peaceful muslims etc.... What happened on that day was a tragedy on a grand scale, the few muslims I know are the some of the most peaceful people and they have been affected by 9/11 more than anyone else I know, save the families of the victims. Spitting on their book is just another bias crime that displays the ignorance one can show to a group of people that are just like you and me. would you do that to the bible if an obstetrician in your family was murdered because of several abortions they carried out? would you spit on the torah if an israeli soldier shot and paralyzed you because you were a journalist covering the arab-israeli conflict? I didn't think so. Please take the time to think before you write something that may offend not only msulims but all people that stand for a more peaceful planet

I will spit on the Koran in that very spot because of what it meant for the hijackers. I don't care what it represents to anyone else.

I would piss on the Bible if, as you say, a family member was murdered for performing abortions. Same goes for a Torah if my mother will killed in the name of Judaism.

You say you don't think I would. But you don't know me.

Just because I reject religion doesn't mean I can't live a lawful and well-intentioned life. You haven't read my pleas after 9/11 to recognize that there is no Muslim uprising in America. You weren't present when I tore into a woman for telling a Middle Eastern friend to "go back where he came from." You don't know that I begged out of Catholic school as a kid because I couldn't think of another part of society where it made sense to follow rules that were 2,000 (or more) years old. You don't know that half my family is Jewish and that I think some of their rules are just as senseless. You don't know that I get along just fine with people who attend various religious services regularly.

What you read was that I will spit on a Koran at the very spot where the hijackers ran planes into my friends. That will happen, because that's my message to those murders.

It's just me, a book and my last licks at those animals. It's not a party, and no one else is invited.

Posted by Paul Katcher at February 6, 2003 11:03 PM

Guess what Paulie, those bastards that hijacked have the same respect for the koran that you do... none, or else they wouldnt have done 9/11. You will show only one thing by spitting on the Koran, the same exact thing the terrorists showed: ignorance and intolerance. If they respected the Koran they would have stayed home that night. Dont get me wrong, the only difference between me an you is that you think that religion drove them to the evil act, I think that people misused the religion to drive them to an evil act.

Posted by Jeff Paschall at February 7, 2003 11:26 PM

So far, Jeff has said I don't think before I write and that I plan to exhibit ignorance and intolerance.

Allow me to state again. I will spit on what I think was the source of greatest motivation and pride for the hijackers. This has nothing to do with anyone else. I don't care what Muslims think -- it's not about them. I don't care what Christians or Jews think -- it's not about them. It's just me, a book and my saliva. And god damn holy hell of almighty irony, if that gets people's panties in a bunch, then maybe we're onto something...

I don't hold the Koran sacred. I don't hold the Bible sacred. I don't hold the Torah sacred. Allow ME the freedom to spit on it and go about your lives without imposing any sort of belief or expected reverence for an inanimate object.

The name's Paul, not Paulie. I'm not ignorant to patronization, either.

Posted by Paul Katcher at February 7, 2003 11:53 PM

I would have done the same thing when I was in New York over the weekend (I live in England). I thought, "yeh thats a good idea. I'll buy a koran, go to the top of the Statue of Liberty and do the same thing". But then I forgot to buy the koran and when I arrived in New York, the Statue of Liberty was shut anyway.
As I'm sure most extremists would tell me "It must be an act of God"!
