You know that the AP would be having a total fit if it were a mosque, front page of the New York and LA Slimes.
I'm certain that, already, some Muslims are considering this an Islamic holy site.....'Where a small band of Allah's Faithful held off the hordes of blood drinking jews'.
I wonder how long it will be before they lay claim to the church.
Yup---if this had been done to a moham mosque, it would be considered the hate crime of the century. There would be a fit of backlash of sensitivity training and diversity and hate-crime awareness public service announcements and telethons. Editorialists and NPR commentators would be wringing hands and gnashing teeth over the permanently warped lives of moslem children who witnessed on their tv screens the site of their holy sites desecrated so vilely yadayadayada.
Personally, I'd like to see an equally "militant" Christian group march over to the Dome of the Rock with a couple of large bombs and bring the structure down to the consistency of CAT LITTER.
My thoughts exactly.
