More On The "Downtown Mosque"
“So look: unless someone’s prepared to make an argument that a straight line runs between Cordoba House and Usama bin Laden, no objection to Cordoba House’s location makes any sense. That’s the only sense in which the Cordoba House could actually offend the reasonable sensibilities of those victimized by 9/11. No one can make that argument without sounding like bin Laden himself. Everything else about this debate is just ugly noise. Those who sincerely believe that Cordoba House is offensive need to tell a Muslim serving in the U.S. military precisely how far from Ground Zero he may acceptably practice his religion.”
