    Exactly. This is all the result of guilt-ridden namby, pamby political correctness.

    There’s a logical basis for racial profiling when it comes to terrorism. USE IT.

  4. benson,

    Isn’t it funny how we, as Americans, are expected to follow strict rules of engagement when making assumptions about sensitive issues pertinent to our own nation, while giving full benefits to people we know nothing about?

    So on Monday, I was attacked for having the audacity to question the appropriateness of a mosque over Ground Zero because I was able to connect the dots of a well documented history of Islamist tendencies to replace pre-existing religious and cultural institutions with Islamic centers and mosques.

    using Western methods of logic, I dared to use the word Islamist in describing those who would propose to build a large mosque/cultural center over the hole that remains of that national tragedy.

    basing my assumptions on solid history and recent events,
    on the scope of the proposed project, on the location of the project and most of all the timing of the project’s opening 9/11/11.

    Ten years later.

    If we cannot defend ourselves with logic and reason for
    fear of offending sensitivities, then we have already lost our Western traditions and I feel sad for generations to come.
