9/11 “Ground Zero”: always remember, Muslims also died
Watch this before making up your mind:
Chris Hitchens also talks a lot of sense on this issue, even if he’s rather less inclined to be charitable to the Sufis behind this project.
And – just for the record – US (and, for sure, most other) Muslims are not insensitive to people’s feelings:
The Islamic Circle of North America decided against holding its Muslim family day on September 11 out of respect for victims and families. Founder Tariq Amanullah worked in the World Trade Centre and died in the attacks.
An ICNA spokesman, Naeem Baig, said: “We took the decision not to have it on September 11 because it is not a day to celebrate. We will be mourning the deaths of all those who perished.
“We wish it to be as close to Eid as possible. But we don’t want it on 9/11. That would be insensitive, we had to think of that.”
That should (but won’t) put enemies of the US consitution like Sarah “refudiate” Palin and Rudy Giuliani to shame.
