http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/americas/refudiate-this-palin-defends-word-mangling-malapropism/article1644847/ everyone's up in arms that Sarah Palin is inventing words like "refudiate". why is NO ONE up in arms that she's telling muslims that they should not want a mosque built in downtown manhattan?
and the comments in the article? OMG. seriously, because the people who were connected to the destruction of the twin towers were muslim, no muslim should be allowed to worship in downtown manhattan as it would be an affront to those who died on 911? i'm pretty sure MUSLIM AMERICANS DIED IN THE TOWERS.
the only thing i can think of is as if black people in the south asked that no baptist or evangelical churches be built in predominantly black neighbourhoods because there are baptist and evangelical KKK members who have been involved in lynching. if ANYONE even uttered something as CRAZY as this, they'd be shot down SO quickly.
every person in the world has the right to worship and i'm pretty sure that the US constitution clearly states that, so WTF?
i hate that racism/religious intolerance seems to be acceptable if it's towards muslims/middle eastern people.
