Bloomberg: Investigating 9/11 Mosque Is Un-American

NEW YORK (AP) – New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says it would be un-American to investigate a mosque that is planned for construction near where the World Trade Center once stood.

Let me make a list for Mayor Bloomberg, to refresh his memory, of things that are Un-American:

• Honor killings
• Honor “rape”, or just rape in general
• Beatings for women going out in public unescorted by a male relative
• Not allowing women to go to school, or learn to read
• Killing Christians who won’t covert
• Killing Jews because they’re, well, Jewish
• Refusing to drive a cab for passengers who have an unopened bottle of wine, or a dog
• Flying planes full of people into buildings full of people
• Suicide bombings
• Strapping explosives to women, children, and the mentally retarded – turning them into bombs
• Shari’ah law superceding American law
• Beheadings, including of journalists like Daniel Pearl.
• Burning the bodies of Americans, dragging them through the streets, and then hanging them from a bridge
• Promising to drive all the Jews into the sea
• Declaring that the Muslim flag will fly over the Whitehouse
• Killing and/or threatening to kill people over newspaper cartoons
• Cheering in the streets when the towers fell
• Screaming ‘Allah Akbar’ and shooting up a room full of unarmed people on an American military base

There are more, but here is my last one: sticking a fork in the eye of the American people by building a huge mosque within spitting distance of and overlooking the pit where buildings once stood and 2,500 people, most American, were murdered by Muslim fanatics on 9/11.

These things alone are reprehensible on their face.  They are not a reason to investigate a simple, humble religious building being constructed in Manhattan.  That the folks behind the mosque might be funding terrorism is a reason to investigate.  That the folks running the mosque may use it to incite more terrorism is a reason to investigate.  I’m sorry that the symbolism of the mosque’s size and location are lost on you, Mr. Mayor.  I’m pretty sure it isn’t lost on the Muslim world.
