MOSQUE: Let it be 'tombstone of Islam'

| August 18, 2010 6:17 AM

By virtue of the First Amendment, Islamists have the unfettered RIGHT to build their Mosque wherever they can acquire the land.

By virtue of human decency and respect for the pain of the thousands who suffered direct losses on 9/11, Islamists also have the right to NOT build it so close to Ground Zero.

Those who are intimidated by Islam appear most anxious to gratify, to appease, to acquiesce to this totalitarian philosophy. History does not forgive such catastrophic mistakes.

So go ahead. Build it. I dare Islam and I dare the Democrats. Put the damned thing up so that from that point forward everyone who walks past it, everyone who sees it on TV will know what it really stands for and how it got there.

The Islamic Mosque a few blocks away from Ground Zero will become the tombstone of Islam in America and the Democratic Party as well.

Good. Go for it.
