Terrorism

Piss Off, Wingnuts

The "ground zero mosque" story is pretty much a thing of the past at this point, but it's worth mentioning that there were Muslim prayer ceremonies INSIDE the Pentagon after 9/11. You know, the building that was also struck by a hijacked airplane on that day.

And there were Muslim iftar dinners at the White House during the Bush administration.

President and Mrs. Bush host an iftar dinner every year because they want people around the world to know how much they respect Islam and the many Muslims living in the U.S. who are free to worship as they want, and are an integral part of our society," said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council.

Also, while not "two blocks away," there are a number of shinto shrines in Honolulu -- just eight miles or so from the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

So go eff yourselves, you intolerant unconstitutional wingnut bigots.
