Defending Memory of 9-11 Victims, Un-American, NOT!!
"There are 100 mosques in New York City: Will 100 Christian churches ever be permitted in places like Riyadh and Kabul?"
With New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg now condemning as "un-American" those who believe the ground zero mosque should be moved elsewhere, the ill-advised project's most prominent defender is tottering on the precipice of the deep end. It is unfortunate that a man who made a fortune building a media company devoted to providing accurate and timely business information now resorts to such extreme rhetoric. The mayor needs to get a grip and apologize to those he has insulted, who include, according to multiple opinion surveys, clear majorities of New Yorkers and the American people.
It's also time for the project's main advocate, Imam Fiesal Abdul Rauf, to explain his previous rationalizations for terrorist attacks against America. Speaking in Australia in 2005, Rauf said: "We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims. You may remember that the U.S.-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations."
Aside from the United Nations' utter lack of credibility, Rauf, who described himself on that occasion as an Islamic spokesman, echoed a familiar alibi of Islamist terrorists who murder innocent men, women and children, including many who share their faith. President Clinton, who supported the sanctions, rejected the alibi as nothing more than a lie that originated with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
