9/11 Lessons

Submitted by Soloview (Canada), Sep 12, 2010 at 09:32

Nothing describes the American decline and lack of self-respect better than the poor attendance at the protest rally against the Ground Zero Mosque on 9/11. A thousand souls came to listen to the main speaker ....a Dutch parlamentarian. It is unbvelievable how effective the anti-American propaganda has become in America.

The denial of Mr Rauf that the location is at Ground Zero illustrates well his duplicity since the building has special significance for Islamists as it is the place damaged by the landing gear of UA Flight 175 (Reuters 22/7/2010). No matter whether Mr Rauf wants to call it a mosque of a community center a la YMCA. This inevitably is a shrine to the 911 Islamic martyrs' sacrifice in their victory over Satan. The symbolism will be read that way throughout the world whatever the fairytale Mr Rauf dreams up for the American Idiots.
