Banner 3
Banner 3 does not work for similar reasons as the other two:
- “STOP ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA” looks like a pastel lavender on red. The pastel comletely washes out the blue in the SIOA.
- The American Typewriter font subtracts from the heavy serif in the SIOA.
- The drop shadow is just more blur against a heavily textured background.
- Also, notice that the drop shadow is above the letters instead of below them, which conflicts with the skyline. Drop shadows should (almost) always point downwards because the source of light is generally above the object being shadowed, and in this case the skyline is the point of reference that should determine the direction of the shadow.
- And there’s no letter spacing.
Banner 3 does not give you anything that you don’t have here or here. It actually gives less.
To be fair and consistent, the reason that this does not work is because the font should be the same as the heavily serifed font in the logo. Arial will never deliver umph, no matter what you do to it, and the title needs umph.
Additionally, the wide sidebar on the right should switch sides with the narrow side bar on the left. The logo should be bumped up to 380 (?) pixels wide to correspond to the wide sidebar and at the same time make the logo the cornerstone of the header.

SIOA Rally Calls For Halt to Plans for Ground Zero Mosque
The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) is hosting a rally at Ground Zero to protest the construction of a mosque at the site of the Islamic terror attack that brought down the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Victims of 9/11 – those who lost family or friends, or who were injured on that day – are especially invited to attend.
The SIOA No 9/11 Mosque Rally will be at Ground Zero on June 6 at 12 noon. Supporting groups (partial list): ACT for America (ACT Manhattan chapter); Z Street; Freedom Defense Initiative; No Mosque at Ground Zero; and Faith Freedom International; VAST, Stuart Kaufman, American Bulldogs, Center for Security Policy, The rally was scheduled after the Community Board for New York City’s financial district unanimously approved the construction of a 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center right across from Ground Zero.
SIOA executive director Pamela Geller commented: “What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack? Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn’t dream of such an insult. It’s a stab in eye of America.” “We chose June 6 as the rally date,” Geller explained, “because it’s D-Day. In 1944, Americans acted against the evil of Nazism. Now it is time for Americans to stand up against the evil of Islamic jihad terrorism and Islamic supremacism.”
Said Geller: “The only Muslim center that should be built in the shadow of the World Trade Center is one that is devoted to expunging the Koran and all Islamic teachings of the violent jihad that they prescribe, as well as all hateful texts and incitement to violence.”
Speakers at the No 9/11 Mosque will include Nonie Darwish, ex-Muslim and author of Now They Call Me Infidel; Simon Deng, the Sudanese ex-slave and campaigner for human rights for Sudanese Christians; James Lafferty of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force; and Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE). Hosting the event are Geller, the popular blogger and columnist who publishes the acclaimed AtlasShrugs.com blog, and SIOA associate director Robert Spencer, the bestselling author and director of JihadWatch.org. Geller is the author (with Spencer) of The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America (Foreword by Ambassador John Bolton), coming July 27 from Simon & Schuster.
As a manifestation of Islamic domination and expansionism, mosques have frequently been placed on the sites of the holy places of other religions. The Al-Aqsa Mosque, built on top of the Temple of the Jewish people, which is located in Jerusalem, is the most famous example. Many famous churches have been turned into mosques, including the Aya Sofya Mosque in Istanbul, which until the Islamic conquest of Constantinople of 1453 was the grandest church in Christendom. The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus was, before the Islamic conquest, the Church of St. John the Baptist. Historian Sita Ram Goel has estimated that over two thousand mosques in India were built on the sites of Hindu temples.
Rally speakers and participants will stand with those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and call for an end to plans for this mosque that insults the memory of those who died on that day.
SIOA is one of America’s foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty, and the freedom of speech against Islamic supremacist intimidation and attempts to bring elements of Sharia to the United States.
