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:

They should consider a less violent prophet like Charles Manson.

Now we’re not even allowed to identify those who murdered our friends, families and countrymen, people who undoubtedly went to their own deaths shouting praise for their supposed “prophet” (piss be upon him)?

Yeah...you Moose Limb asshats can GFY, with a rusty chainsaw. You’re not in control here, so learn when to STFU instead of insulting most of those you live among.

The wall just got higher, the phrases just got longer and more offensive.

If they don’t agree, the can go to Europe, where they can sexually assault the women and the men won’t do anything, not even protest.

They weren't so much islameO terrorists, as they were sharia compliant mudslimes.

That is their law. 1400 years, either they go mohamicidal, or they provide for the ones that will.

Castelluci, huh? So, why the PC crap, huh? Where is that “Bafongule!” that the rest of us would have E elected from any self-respect New Yorker of Italian descent? Geez, what’s the world coming to?

Were they muslims? Were they terrorists?

“Islamic Terrorists” is factually accurate and concise. Nice try,

Yes, instead, it should read:

Those who won the war write the history.

If Trump doesn’t get elected they will have won.

Until Islam is removed, there can be no peace.

Their book tells them to subjugate, convert or kill everyone else on earth.
Their book tells them to lie to infidels to advance Islam, but never befriend them.
Their book tells them that it is their religious obligation to see that everyone submits to Allah under sharia law.
Mad Mo made it so.

Submit, die or fight.

Nothing will change as long as the kill commandment exists over 100 times in the savage Koran.
*************************
Nothing can change because the penalty for even suggesting changing their book is death.
Mohammed was the perfect muslim, a larcenous, murderous, pedophilic rapist slaver.

There is no reforming Islam.

Someday, that truth will have to faced.

They don’t like the term “radical Islam” either.
And illegal aliens don’t like the term “illegal aliens”.
Millionaire football players don’t like America.
That’s too bad. Leave.
