Too many have forgotten
Reader comment on: Madrassa Plan Is Monstrosity

Submitted by Natalie, Jun 21, 2007 12:20

To forget seems to be the pattern for some Americans. 911 is and should be a reminder of what the muslim culture can impose upon a country. They murdered many. To suggest a school be built solely to teach their (muslim) offspring violence and hatred of Christians is beyond comprehension. We may and should remain a compasionate nation, but not revel in stupidity.
