Stop the Ground Zero Insult

I'm sure you're all well aware of the plans to build an Islamic community center and mosque within several blocks of where the World Trade Center towers once stood, buildings that were destroyed by Islamic extremists On September 11th, 2001.

I can with absolute positive certainty say that this kind of insult, intentional or merely perceived, would NEVER be allowed to be directed anywhere remotely close to Islam. It would spark such devastating outrage by the Muslim community, the American liberals in the West would most certainly do everything in their power to stop it. And yet, the American liberals of the West are enthusiastically calling for the completion of this mosque.

And as a Muslim, this outrages me.



American liberals are determined to show off to the world how much more tolerant and peaceful the West is than many countries rich in Islamic culture. They believe they are above us and our culture, and they aim to prove it. Do they think they are better than us? Are we but barbaric neanderthals according to them? Their encouraging the building of the mosque is a perfect example of this.

Common arguments by the Christian "hill people", that (for differing reasons) oppose the mosque, include claims that churches would never be permitted to be built anywhere in Saudi Arabia and therefore a mosque should not be built near where an attack by Muslims occurred. The American liberal retort to this is that "America isn't Saudi Arabia, we're better than that." I find this immensely insulting. An insult that should and will most definitely spark outrage in the Muslim community. Stop the Ground Zero Mosque! Death to the infidel!! Allahu Akbar!!!

The Prophet Muhammad couldn't be reached for comment.
