Maybe I’m old. Maybe I’m from the Upper-Midwest. Maybe I think too much of my service to my country (and my Father’s and my Son’s).  But to think that this isn’t a big F* You to the US, you’re naive. There are 10 gazillion OTHER places they could build this community center. Putting it smack dab in the middle of the site of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil - An attack led and executed by men of the same faith… It’s not just insensitive of  them to request it, it’s negligent of NYC officials to be allowing it. This isn’t about tolerance (if you’d like an idea of what intolerance looks like, please check out the cover story to this weeks Time magazine), this is about being sensitive to the memory of those who lost their lives and the families they left behind. danipantsless: jackinjill: fuckyeahemergence: mohandasgandhi: wafflesforlunch: aimee-b-loved: scottfriday: cjmeetsworld:
