No? The ninteen men flying planes into buildingd in the name of Allah were Buddhists?
If you’re saying that these guys were [del]hijacking[/del] using their religion for political purposes, or that they have nothing to do with most people’s interpretation of Islam, fine. But saying 9/11 had nothing to do with Islam is ridiculous.
Actually, I thought that would be a good idea. Build a mosque there instead of the “Freedom Tower”, along with a synagogue, Hindu temple, a Catholic church, an Anglican church, and so on.
There’s this thing that describes what we’re doing…and it has nothing to do with intolerance, or bigotry. It’s a part of the human condition. But all subtlety is lost on the internet, and if something CAN offend, it will surely find the person it DOES offend.
Locally we have an assisted senior living center located on Cemetery Lane. They keep a mailbox, unused, on Babcock Blvd but the entrance and building front are clearly Cemetery Lane.
A Catholic seminary near an all-boys’ school. After all, if we’re going to blame all the members of a religion for the actions of a portion, then this would seem apt.
