“Peaceful New Yorkers, pls refute the Ground Zero mosque plan if you believe catastrophic pain caused @ Twin Towers site is too raw, too real” – Sarah Palin



With these words, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin becomes the first national political personality to support the growing resistance movement in America to aggressive Islamicization tactics. George W. Bush had bent over backwards not to offend American Muslims. Even as he sent U.S. troops to Afghanistan, and then Iraq, while pushing through the Patriot Act and creating the Department of Homeland Security, the White House was inviting Muslim leaders with extremist connections to attend the memorial ceremonies for 9/11.



A passel of Paul Reveres have been warning us that America faces not only the threats of foreign and home-grown Islamic terrorism, but the encroachment of “legal Islamism” as well – that is, the widespread and aggressive use of legal means to expand the Muslim footprint over our society. We are not talking here about Muslim individuals being allowed to use vacation days to observe Ramadan.



Instead, we are talking about an imam of dubious political provenance using foreign millions to erect a 15-storey Islamic center at the very place where thousands of Americans were incinerated by well-coordinated extremists acting in the name of their prophet.



Why would any peace-loving Muslim want to offend ordinary Americans by insisting on erecting a mosque there? Educated Muslims, as well as aficionados of their culture, know well that Islam has always used architecture to express political and spiritual dominance. In fact, so does every civilization. That’s why they took down the Twin Towers. As one caller to a Sunday talk show put it: “This is like the Japanese wanting to put a Shinto shrine at the entrance to Pearl Harbor.”



Now Sarah Palin has joined the fight. How wonderful that the latest “Palin endorsement” comes on the very day The New York Times runs a page 1 Sunday story of Gov. Palin’s emergence as the most influential figure in Republican politics. When the Times admits it, Sarah Palin has really arrived.



Gov. Palin has demonstrated once again that she is not afraid to listen to the warnings of our latter-day Paul Reveres. And to add her voice to theirs. As with the other famous “Palin endorsements,” may this one be for a game changer.



And another tweet, about 1 1/2 hours later: Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing – Sarah Palin
