Muslims To Invade Manhattan!, by Mike Gold – Brainiac On Banjo #171

If for some reason you still think we’re a religiously tolerant society, perhaps this will have you think again.

A Muslim group wants to build a 13-story mosque and cultural center in lower Manhattan. This is a busy and popular location that houses major corporations, churches, synagogues, hotels, parks and restaurants. It’s about three blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center.

You can see what’s next, can’t you?

The executive director of Stop Islamization of America, Pamela Gellar, said the project is “an insulting flag of conquest of Islamic supremacism.” Co-founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America Debra Burlingame said “It is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.” Act! for America member Madeline Brooks asked “Is it a victory for Islam over non-Muslims? … If they wanted peace and harmony, do you really think they’ll get that?”

You know, if a Muslim said that, Ms. Brooks would take the comment as a threat. That’s fine; if somebody attacks the Masque – should it be built – she’ll be at the top of my list of suspects.

It’s not difficult to understand their point of view. They believe all Muslims are terrorists, that it’s part of their religion. They join a large, unhealthy group of Americans who believe all Jews drink Christian baby blood, all Catholic priests screw children and nuns, all white Protestants are in the Ku Klux Klan and all black Protestants are actually Muslims.

America has never been big on religious freedom, but this hysteria is totally beyond the pale. It goes well beyond typical barroom bigotry and the standard white power / you’re-not-one-of-us Tea Bagger politics.

Were they as adamant about the militias and the types of people who blew up the Oklahoma City federal building and day care center, perhaps that broader perspective would mitigate these mindlessly hateful comments. But, in fact, they sound like they’re militia members themselves.

These people are not Americans, they are prejudiced, ignorant slugs who leave nothing but a trail of slime in their wake. They dishonor the memory of those who died in the terrorist attacks nine years ago. They dishonor this hallowed nation.
