Washington Post Runs Two Editorials Against Ground Zero Mosque

From The Washington Post and Jihad Watch:

End Times nigh: WaPo Faith blog runs another post against the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero


What has gotten into the Washington Post? Has hell frozen over?



The first column against the mega-mosque is here. "A mosque at Ground Zero is inappropriate and counterproductive," by Richard Land at the Washington Post's On Faith blog, July 22:



Having a mosque at Ground Zero would be the equivalent of having a Japanese Shinto shrine built next to the USS Arizona. Do the followers of Shinto have a right to have a shrine in Honolulu? Yes. In close proximity to the USS Arizona? No. I am well aware that many Japanese did not support the attack on Pearl Harbor and in fact, Japanese-Americans in a Nisei battalion composed the most decorated combat unit in the American armed forces in WWII, as they demonstrated their patriotism, even while many of their family members were shamefully placed in internment camps in the United States. That still does not negate the fact that it would be inappropriate to have a Japanese shrine in close proximity to the USS Arizona. It is similarly inappropriate to put a mosque in close proximity to Ground Zero. Posted by Robert on July 22, 2010 4:55 PM
