Apples and oranges, but your point is taken. does the left have a problem with someone flying a Confederate flag during Black History month?

I think you are comparing apples and oranges. Our fight is with al quaida and not Muslims or Islam.

For four years we lived about a block away from the old WTC in Battery Park, every year on the anniversary of 911, for hours we would hear the names being read aloud of those killed on that one horrific day. Some of the names being read were Muslim names, i believe 300 Muslims died in the WTC on 911, about 10% of those killed. On my way to work I would stop by the lower level of WTC near the subway to buy a newspaper, the people who ran the newspaper stand were all muslims from Bangladesh. Poor people trying to scratch a living, not terrorist. I remember all their faces well, I hope they made it out, I suspect some of them perished that day. Muslims not terrorists worked in the subway sandwich shop, au bon pain, worked as security guards making minimum wage. All trying to espace their impoverished war torn countries.

NY Gov Paterson throws his political weight behind resolving the debate over the "Ground Zero Mosque" by helping the mosque relocate to a less volatile location:

which will probably mean that it will be built there, based on his track record.

But their fight is with you. All of Islam views themsleves as in struggle with the west and other religions.

No islam, no al quaida, it's that simple. Islam is the incubator of hate, it is the enabling belief system and support structure for al quaida. No other belief system spawns so much violence and intolerance, the fact that some don't partake is irrelevent, but the fact that they don't try and stop it, is. In private most muslims despise the west and non muslims however most will put on a good face in public. They are taught how to appear kind and patient as part of the training that starts at birth.

Don't confuse interaction with individual muslims with group behavior. Almost anyone will be polite and kind in a setting where nothing is at stake, like a fruit stand. Some terrorists themsleves have often been known to be seemingly nice people before they killed. If however you assemble a large number of muslims and they start to assert their political will, the story is almost always violent and intolerant.

I suggest a visit to any muslim dominated nation, or the muslim ghettos of europe.

I wonder how much that is going to cost the taxpayers.

Regarding intolerance, I would have to place the unfortuantely up and coming foxnewsism as crushing all other blind belief systems.

and you believe this, really and truly?

I can't say i have been to the muslim ghettos of Europe but i wholeheartedly agree with you in recommending a trip to the Muslim dominated nations as Turkey, Malaysia, Jordan and even Morocco were great (though I did get ripped off for a carpet in Morocco)
