Respecting Ground Zero
Mark Fiore's take on the Muslim Community Center:
http://www.markfiore.com/political-cartoons/watch-ground-zero-mosque-islam-ramadan-cordoba-house-animated-video-mark-fiore-animation?t=1282256171
But around Ground Zero, there already is a mosque or two in the area, Masjid Mosque on Warren St--since 1970 and Masjid Al Farah, on West Broadway.
But if we are really talking about respect--what of all the bars, the cheap stuff stores, the strip club?
The fact that the 9/11 responders health bill that did not pass?
That we are disrespecting the colonists, founders and the Constitution's Bill of Rights when we try to limit (or impose) religion.
