HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!

I just Googled our young Lieutenant's name (I won't give his last name here for obvious reasons - don't want any of y'all bothering him ;-)

and found that he is still waxing poetic!!!!

Gues whose side he's on NOW?? Read what the traitorous little skunk says today:

"Feature on mosque considered negative

Editor:

I wonder what it’s like to be a Muslim in the United States today. Are you frustrated by the task of raising your children in a society rife with disrespect, materialism, promiscuity and atheism? Do you tire of the cutting jokes about being a terrorist? Do you worry that your place of worship will be the next one vandalized, or your business the next one burned down? Do you pray that your wife or daughter will not be the next woman killed for wearing a headscarf?

I wonder how you feel when you see four young men, non-Muslims, visiting your mosque unannounced with cameras and notebooks. Do you cringe inside, dreading yet another in the daily litany of negative reports about your cherished faith? Do you smile and shake their hands and answer all of their questions and invite them to take your pictures, even in the most sacred time of prayer? If you are a member of the Brownsville Muslim community, you do.

I was there on Oct. 15 observing, the only non-journalist of the four visitors. I was excited to see the press arrive and looked forward to a good article on the beautiful new mosque, or the first day of Ramadan, or the sermon about how fasting and prayer brings us closer to God, or the conversation between Ms. Benazir Bhutto and local Muslims. Instead, Kevin García’s article “Former Pakistani prime minister barred access to mosque’s male sanctuary” detailed the one awkward moment of the afternoon, when members disagreed over the application of a long-standing policy.

I appreciated the rest of The Herald’s coverage of the former prime minister’s visit, Ildefonso Ortiz’s article and “Don Pedro Says,” and I can’t find fault with the way García presented both sides of the argument. I just wonder, if I were a member of the Brownsville Muslim community, how would I feel about seeing my new center introduced to the public through an embarrassing article like this? Why the negative spin?

Be a part of the solution. Visit the mosque to make friends and learn deeper respect for an ancient, fascinating, complex, beautiful civilization. Please don’t visit to find fault.

Good thing he left. He would have compromised our forces.

"I wonder what it’s like to be a Muslim in the United States today."

Hey Mark: Simple solution. Muslims leave the US.
