Referring to mounting hysteria among right-wing media in the United States, British comedian Charlie Brooker (and others) put it succinctly:“For one thing, it’s not at Ground Zero. Also it isn’ta mosque.” 1 Still, Park51, the Islamic community center proposed by one New York entrepreneur, provoked a seismic domestic controversy in the summer of 2010. This chapter asks: Is there anything we can learn about the postsecular and the so-called War on Terror from the controversy that raged during a characteristically hot, muggy August in New York City? It takes as theoretical starting points Georg Simmel’s observation that war is uniquely revealing, stripping away peacetime presuppositions to expose uncomfortable truths, and Brighton and Barkawi’s account of war as generative, that “war consumes, reworks and produces truths.” 2 I suggest that while Park51 has the potential to become a productive postsecular site of global impact, it is still in the process of that becoming. However the example suggests that postsecular dynamics within certain c ities with a global profile like New York have the potential to impact global politics, for good or ill. These global cities project a kind of “spatial force,” like Bially Mattern’s “discursive force,” which may impact political claims around the world. 3 In this way, everyday, mundane, postsecular rapprochements in global cities may be generative within global politics. 4
