Agree or disagree with the idea of building a mosque at Ground Zero, you cannot deny that the issue controversial, and an emotional one. On those two things alone, Everyone on the left should be saying “do not build it,” if we went by past precedent.
Editorials like this New York Times piece blasting critics of the mosque are just absolutely absurd.
I remember years ago when talk about a statue of the 9/11 Flag Raising, and some people, in the name of “political correctness” wanted the statue to reflect, not the realities of the moment famously captured on camera, but an altered version, featuring firemen of different races. Now here we are, ten years later, still plagued by political correctness, to put a mosque next to the site of an attack done in the name of Islam.
Sure, the attack was carried out by extremists, but no one can deny that the attack on our country was carried out by Muslims in the name of Islam. This isn’t an issue of religious freedom. No one is denying any constitutional right by saying “This mosque shouldn’t be here.”
What are these people trying to prove by saying the mosque should be built in that spot? That they are so tolerant and open-minded? Give me a break.
