As you may know I purposely do not speak much here about September 11th but I have to say that this sort of fear mongering and publicity seeking built on a scaffolding of people who died in my city's biggest tragedy to date makes me feel quite unpeaceful feelings. I don't, of course, require that you join the photo bombing but if you support this kind of event I can definitively say that I can't support you.
On a lighter note, I'd like to send a photo or two out for the cause but I can't decide which one. Any suggestions?

ahhhh, I've got a few photos to send :-) Thanks for the heads up about this!
ReplyDeleteMy sister teaches History at a private Islamic school. She's not Muslim or really all that religious (we were raised Southern Baptist). But she puts up with a lot of hate mongering. When she's gone to trainings and teacher conferences outside of her school, people actually move away from her when they find out where she works. I don't think I will ever understand this way of thinking or this kind of hate.
ReplyDeleteWhile I may not approve of the idea of building a mosque so close to Ground Zero, I also absolutely cannot condone a Koran-burning event. That's bigotry, plain and simple. There's a difference between true Islam and radical Islam, people!
ReplyDeleteSince no one brought the mosque question up I'm not sure why you did. There's a conversation about the mosque here if you're looking for one: http://mcschmanky.blogspot.com/2010/08/newt-world-odor.html
ReplyDeleteWHOOPS! Sorry, that's what I get for skimming - I saw 9/11 and immediately thought of the current controversy surrounding the mosque.
ReplyDeleteMy bad. :(
