Bigotry hiding behind sensitivity
Big protest at the site of Park51, the "Ground Zero mosque" that isn't at Ground Zero and isn't primarily a mosque, 1,000 against and 200 for.
Among those against, a sign that read, "Obama, your middle-name is Hussain, we understand. Bloomberg, what's your excuse." [A few sics required there.]
Anyone who would see that sign and stand with it is a bigot. It's not about being sensitive to 9/11 families and it's not because Ground Zero is hallowed (just wait until that hallowed new building goes up filled with tons of businesses not signed off on by the families), it's because most people in this country believe that Islam = terrorism. Some of them at least admit it.
Ironic touch: Protesters against the mosque blared "Born in the USA." Still too dumb after all these years to know the meaning of Bruce Springsteen's song.
UPDATE: Even "the most conservative man in Congress," Ron Paul, is on the side of Park51, stating:
"If Islam is further discredited by making the building of the mosque the issue, then the false justification for our wars in the Middle East will continue to be acceptable."
