Of Mosque and Men
In case you haven’t read the news in the past month, there are plans to build an Islamic community center a few blocks from New York City’s Ground Zero. This has angered a lot of people who think the terrorists win if a moderate Muslim center is built nearby the site of of an Islamic-extremist terrorist attack.
Or to put it another way
Excellent point. If a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia forbids building churches and synagogues, we must do the same and ban mosques. We cannot afford a religious-intolerance gap!
And if we’re going to keep up with Saudi Arabia, there are a lot of other changes we need to make.
Saudi Arabia doesn’t allow public demonstrations. These anti-mosque protesters are actually hurting America by exercising a right Saudi Arabia doesn’t allow. That guy’s sign should really say
And when conservatives call for the repeal of the Fourteenth Amendment because it gives citizenship to babies of illegal immigrants born in America, they are missing a much bigger problem. What we really need to repeal is the Twenty-First Amendment, which repeals the Eighteenth Amendment which bans alcohol. Saudi Arabia has been beating us on the prohibition front for too long.
Also, Sarah Palin, I know you’re trying to help America, but you’re holding us back. Please consider my redesign of your book cover.
Because the only way to beat the terrorists is to become equally intolerant.

True enough. I mean, holding ourselves to a higher standard of freedom (religious or otherwise) than Saudi Arabia hardly seems American. Honestly, where’s our pride?
I’d also like to put a finer point on something your post already takes into account, and that is two more things many opinion pieces about the mosque at ground zero are missing:
1) It’s not a mosque
2) It’s not Ground Zero
But that can be taken care of with Photoshop, too. Maybe on Fox “News”!

Thanks Mike. Sadly, I don’t think it’s quite that easy.
