Nine years ago this morning, he kissed his wife and three children goodbye and went to work as a cook at Windows on the World. All that remains of him is his leather wallet, an ID card, and some coins. His name was Abdoul-Karim Traore. Nine years later, the prayers of his wife Hadidjatou and their three children are not welcome on or near Ground Zero.
They, along with the scores of American troops of Islamic faith in Afghanistan who are currently putting their lives on the line for Sarah Palin, John Boehner, Terry Jones and Newt Gingrich as well as everyone else in this country, are effectively being called baby killers.
Land of the free, eh? We have come nowhere since 9-11-01 and somewhere in a cave the inexplicably still alive Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahari are having a good chuckle.
Because they are still winning.

And I'll repeat...
If the guy actually wants a "dialogue", and the "Religion of Peace" actually wants peace, it's easy enough to see how to do it.
Absolutely, let them build their mosque. And let that mosque also be a cathedral, not just in the same building, but the same space. And let it also be a synagogue, the same space.
One place of worship, where none of those wounded on 9/11 are turned away. Call it 'The Children of Abraham'... in three different languages.
Easy enough to see what needs to be done. Good luck finding anyone with the courage to do it. Feel free to start a nonprofit or something to try to raise money to buy the land yourself and do precisely that, you can have all the credit for the idea. The owner claims he'd sell it in a heartbeat if the price was right.
Talk is cheap.
Wow, you sound almost like... Glenn Beck.
