It’s been in the news for a while now — the mosque that Muslims want to build near the site of “Ground Zero” — the former site of the World Trade Center twin towers that were felled on 9/11/2001 by suicidal Muslims invoking the name of Allah. It’s time I weighed in on this.
Americans are constantly being chided for not showing “sensitivity” to other cultures around the world. Isn’t it about time Muslims showed us some? Do Muslims truly not understand why people would be offended by this apparent thumb in the eye of New Yorkers, of Americans?
The U.S., for its part, carefully avoids damaging mosques even in war zones, lest it be perceived as anti-Muslim. Is it too much to ask that Muslims be just a tad sensitive to non-Muslims regarding the ground zero mosque? Apparently, it is.
After all, infidels are not to be tolerated, much less coddled.
