I vehemently oppose a mosque and Muslim community center being constructed in the shadows of Ground Zero.
I find this to be incredibly, and I would argue, intentionally, insensitive.
Some readers at my blog on FranklinNOW.com aren’t happy about my outrage. Their PC-ness and inability to reason has them painting me as hating all Muslims. I don’t hate anybody. I do have a major, serious, huge problem with the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many Muslims that want to kill Americans. And I don’t apologize for that, to anyone.
Let’s be even more direct and in your face by calling in one of my favorite columnists, Doug Giles (I’ve just got to get him on my show when I fill in at WISN). From his just released column…take it away, Doug:
“Building a mosque at Ground Zero is like OJ’s mom putting a glamour shot of Orenthal over Nicole Brown’s gravestone. In other words, it’s very wrong and extremely disgusting, as every person with a lick of decency would agree.
What’s next, Awad? Are you going to demand a Nidal Malik Hasan Avenue on Ft.Hood’s military base? What about an Abdulmutallab Upgrade Package on Northwest Airlines?
To me, the question is not if a mosque could be built right next to the place where Muslims slaughtered 3,000 innocent people, but should it be built. The “no duh” answer to that insane inquiry is: Hell no, it should not be erected because that is simply gross.
The irony in this Islamic insult is the nine years of living hell the daft and duplicitous NYC bureaucrats have been giving St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in getting their church rebuilt after the TwinTowers flattened it on 9/11. But those same NYC bureaucrats are giddy as schoolgirls in erecting a mega-mosque to Mohammed on that macabre scene.
This is sick, twisted, rancid, pathetic, profane and offensive in the extreme. But this is what they historically do. Muslims see our 3,000 murdered citizens as a conquest to be celebrated, so they’re going to memorialize their bloody victory by establishing a mosque in honor of that sad morning.”
That’s most of Giles’ outstanding column. Read the entire masterpiece here.
Don’t forget to call it “Obama’s Ground Zero Mosque” from here on in.
So noted, and so true.
