Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, James, who was killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.

And he also wants people to remember how he died: "Murdered by Muslim terrorists."

[Kartographer]

I pray that God will bring peace to the heart father and grant everlasting peace to soul of the son.
I thought that it would never be forgotten and am deeply sadden by how many have, especially among those who are supposed to be leading us.

Did anyone find out where those airplanes that attacked Pearl Harbor came from? I know they had red balls on their wings and there’s a flag with the same thing on it but it could be a coincidence.

[Kartographer]

Yeah Obama plans to apologize for upsetting the Japanese so much that they were froced to act out, clearly it was all the fault of the US. (sarc)

Our political correctness will be the downfall of our nation.

[mjp]

We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town,"
"To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here."

to tolerate evil lets it spread, and those who sanction evil are also evil

Yes. Mitsubishi.
So it'll be a cold day in hades before I ever bought one of their cars.

I stay away from all jap rice burners and wouldn't take a Lexus on a bet. (it's nothing but a fancy, tricked-out Toyota)

[mckenzie7]

You speak the truth!

Can this be reversed?

[Catholic Canadian]

To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here.

So telling the truth is 'disparaging' and ethnic group?

[DieHard the Hunter]

> “To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here.”

I wasn’t aware that “muslim terrorists” qualified as an ethnic group, on par with the Irish. Have they been promoted or something?

[reagan_fanatic]

Town officials call the phrase too controversial for a small town memorial, and they recently voted against erecting the plaque if Gadiel insists on the language.

It's a sad commentary on the state of our nation that this is even being debated at all.

[TNCMAXQ]

To some, putting words on a memorial is a more hateful act than killing. That’s a great mentality to have. (sarcasm)

[IronJack]

If he changed the epitaph to read “Died as the result of failing to appreciate Muslim culture” or “Sacrificed on the altar of American hegemony” it would set better with the PC crowd.

[Lurker]

It seems to me a fairly simple matter for this man to pay for the memorial worded any way he choses himself. He can come up with the funds out of his own pocket or raise money by taking donations. I’d happily contribute to such a memorial myself.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And he also wants people to remember how he died: “Murdered by Muslim terrorists.”

If he succeeds in getting this on the monument you can bet it will be chisled out in th future just like the word “savage” was removed from the monuments in the square at Santa Fe NM.

“”We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town,” said Ruth Epstein, a Kent selectman and one of two town leaders to vote the plaque down.

That line simply reeks with Oven Jew Liberalism. Sorry, but those were Muslims, they did kill the son, and the father has the right to put on his son’s memorial marker what he so sees fit.

People like her are why I have exceeding few Jewish friends - I simply won’t suffer Liberals willingly.

The good news is that some Jews in South Florida are rethinking their anti-gun position, despite their Liberalism.

Cognitive dissonance ride again.

Too bad. I believe you're missing out on some very nice, well built and affordable cars. Since you don't by Japanese I guess you buy American? That's well and okay, but I can't do it. I feel like I'm supporting the Democrats everytime I buy anything “Union Made.” Guess I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. Just my opinion.

[panaxanax]

While you’re at it don’t forget Toshiba who sold our super secret submarine prop design to the Soviets. Neither Toshiba or Mitsubishi products will ever enter my home.

Too bad the younger generation does not share our convictions.

[mrsmel]

I agree,and so would I (contribute). Don’t ever let the b*stars call the shots by letting them pay the bill. That’s what’s got this country in this mess now.

[MrB]

Supporting unions is supporting the current enemy of freedom.

Supporting Japanese businesses is supporting a former, vanquished enemy that is now an ally and trading partner.
(and you’re getting a high quality product)

[Balding_Eagle]

Too bad. I believe you're missing out on some very nice, well built and affordable cars.

And their trains run on time too!
