Muslims say one of the phrases on a new 9/11 monument is offensive, want it removed
BPR BizPac Review ^ | 9/07/16 | Scott Morefield

President Obama and Hillary Clinton aren’t the only ones having trouble identifying the religion of certain Middle Eastern descended terrorists.

At least one Muslim group wants the words “Islamic terrorists” entirely scrubbed from a new Owego, NY 9-11 memorial created to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the attack.

The Islamic Organization of Southern Tier, a New York state based Muslim activist group, told KTRK-TV that the words unfairly paint all Muslims with the same brush. Believing the “inflammatory” language could lead to anti-Muslim violence, the group would like the word “Islamic” scrubbed entirely, or even replaced with the words “Al Qaeda” to describe the attackers.

Because if the word Islamic is left off that monument, maybe people won’t know the attackers were Muslim. I mean, they could just as easily have been Jewish, or Christian, or Buddhist. After all, everyone knows Buddhists are just as statistically likely as Muslims to commit devastating acts of terrorism on Israeli and Western targets, right?

So far, to his credit, Owego town supervisor Donald Castellucci is standing his ground. He says the monument is accurate and will not be altered.

“I don’t live in a politically correct world,” Castellucci said. “I live in a historical fact world and terrorism — whether it’s American homegrown, Christianity, Islamic — you call it what it is.”

According to Castelluci, the memorial isn’t about religion, but is in memory of “one event on one day that killed more than 3,000 people.”

The memorial reads:

The hijackers didn’t scream “al qaeda akbar” did they? They didn’t scream “bin laden akbar” did they?
They did it in the name of islam.

OK.

So call it "Quranic terrorists."

The perps themselves would not object to that. And shouldn't we respect the way they'd want to self-identify?

On September 11, 2001 nineteen Islamic terrorists unsuspectedly boarded four airliners departing east coast airports to hijack the planes and carry out a series of coordinated attacks against the United States. This is a tribute to all the lives lost that day and to the heroic sacrifice of all who rushed to help. As Americans, we honor their memory by living our lives in freedom. We will never forget.

Please, please, let a busload of muzzies armed with hammers & chisels come roaring up into the Owego town square and attack the memorial while screaming “Allahu Akbar!!”

They will all be beaten to a pulp.

The fallout they are receiving from 09/11 results directly from the Satanic Koran.
To this day Moslems are commanded by the false prophet and his sidekick “god” not to make friends with unbelievers and to kill, enslave and terrorize us wherever the find us.
Nothing will change as long as the kill commandment exists over 100 times in the savage Koran.

The truth is not flattering to Islam. Never has been and never will be.

The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier is associated with ISNA and ICNA (Islamic Society of North America, Islamic Circle of North America), both Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

The long-term and now recently former imam of the Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier, Kasim Kopuz, was a speaker at the 2009 ISNA annual convention.

Their complaint is part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “civilization jihad”, spelled out by their documents shown in evidence at the Holy Land Foundation trial (see United States v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development et al., 3:04-cr-00240 (2007 N.D. Tex.))

Mahometans who feel that they are treated unfairly in this country have my permission to depart from us in peace, that we may trouble one another no longer.
