"No Mosque"

By Bob Tyrrell

"There is nothing irrational or bigoted about thinking that a mosque does not belong at ground zero or at the Pentagon or on the Pennsylvania countryside where United Flight 93 crashed. Americans traditionally raise on such sites monuments to freedom, to courage, to the sacrifices of those lost. Now the ruling class wants to place a mosque at the site of Sept. 11. It is the only time I can recall the ruling class's ever being in favor of placing a religious manifestation anywhere. Yet in favoring this mosque, the ruling class does put itself squarely in opposition to the country class, so it does have a logic to it."
