I suppose as a matter of fair play we could say they are Cristophobes, Heterophobes, and Libertyphobes.
Time magazine tsk tsk tsk'd that about 46% of Americans think Islam has a propensity for violence. Jeeze, where'd we get that idea? USS Cole, Lockerby, Achille Lauro, 9/11, Pentagon, Embassies in Africa, to just name a few. Can't remember any Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos, or Christians doing anything like that. Seems like Muslims have a lock on that market.
In a city with about a hundred mosques already, the Islamists want another huge monstrosity, that is supposed to open to everyone. Here's a difference. If you go to a mosque anywhere and are not Muslim, you have to enter by a specific door, not during prayer time, and from various reports, not so readily accepted. The NY Mosque of Triumph is going to be different? Anybody can walk in like any other religious building? Probably not. In Christian Churches, one can just walk right in. When I was in Asia, I just walked right in to several Buddhist Temples. Jewish Synagogues I've just had to put on a yarmulke.
We have to ask Time magazine, if nearly 70% of Americans think the location of the NY mosque is inappropriate, and speaks to intolerance, why are there not reports of violence against Muslims here? You can bet if a Christian church or a Synagogue were going to be built in Mecca, the streets would see riots and non-Muslims being killed. Time should not tell this lie, and should not lecture us on intolerance while giving a pass to the intolerant Islamic countries. They should be reporting on honor killings, murder, rape and torture that go on in this country by Muslims, but it's okay because they are Muslims, it's part of their belief system.
Shame on Time magazine.
