Ground Zero Mosque is UNNECESSARY Provocation: Sarah Palin
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has called plans to build a build a $100 million, 13-story community center including the prayer space near the site of the 9/11 terror attack in New York City an “unnecessary provocation.”
Sarah Palin wrote in a tweet, “Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts, Pls reject it in interest of healing.”
She also tweeted a plea asking “peaceful New Yorkers” to “pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real.”
The developer, Sharif El-Gamal, describes the project as an “Islamic community center” that will include a 500-seat performing arts center, a lecture hall, an exhibition space, a swimming pool, a gym, a culinary school, a restaurant and a prayer space for Muslims.
Sarah Palin has clearly failed to distinguish the criminals involved in the 9/11 attacks and rest of the whole Muslim community in United States. She is calling a pure business venture “unnecessary provocation” and stab in the hearts clearly indicating that any body with the Islamic faith or called Muslim is involved in the 9/11 attack.
It has been nine years, thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq have lost their lives because of the US war on Terrorism started blindly right after the 9/11. Sarah Palin is asking peace loving Muslims to reject the building of community center in the interest of ‘healing’ but what about starting something for the interest of healing of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq which are affected adversely by the actions of her country United States? What about the healing of the whole community of American Muslims who are being wrongly targeted as if they were also involved in the 9/11?













Her saying what she said is a stab in the heart of Lady Liberty and all Muslims in the world, since she is implicitly making Islam responsible for 9/11 and taking away a right granted to any American, which is the freedom of worship and freedom of doing business.
Sad that this comes from a prominent politician not only in the US, but also in the world. She could use her influence to re-conciliate between Muslims and Americans but puts instead more gas on the fire.
