Manhattan Massage Parlors: False frivolity fails: Comely Cordoba Center continues construction
It is a colossal victory for America. It is a great victory for the American people and the US constitution. Of course Imam Fasel Rauf and Daisy Khan are elated. The Rabbis and Priests of Lower Manhattan who supported the project deserve this moment and the American people honor them.
The opponents of the Cordoba Center have no legal or moral leg to stand on. They tried to stir up hysteria based on race-baiting and fear. They tried to steam-roll the First Amendment, and the tried to use bigotry and political saber-rattling. Fox News has been in the forefront of the Crusade that fuels Islamphobia in this great nation of ours. Some of the worst bigots in the nation danced around the dead bodies of 3000 Americans, of which about 300 were Muslim-Americans.
The same players did not lift a finger to oppose Strip Clubs, Escort Services, and Massage parlors which truly desecrate the memory of the fallen. However an interfaith center that has Jews, Christians and Muslims as Board Members was supposedly anathema to the opponents.
