Only a Mosque

Obama has given his support to building a Mosque and Muslim community center near the WTC, and I'm happy whenever he gives us a glimmer of progressivism. Those who are so vocally opposed to the Muslim center are flat wrong. They are un-American. They are racist. There is no way around that truth. Muslims are not terrorists, yet that is the implication Palin and Guiliani are making. Again, as I wrote in my previous post on immigration, this is the kind of behavior that wreaks of fascism. At the very least, people like Sarah Palin are trying to send us back to the pre-Civil Rights days, the days before we were a true democracy. This sort of reactionary attitude does not provide counterbalance to the mindset of terrorists, it is in fact the same mindset because it is a narrow, exclusionary, prejudicial and antagonistic attitude.
