Just saw this on Facebook, posted by a former co-worker: "If you think that putting up a mosque 600ft. from Ground Zero and having the inauguration on the anniversary of 9/11 is immoral, inhumane & a complete lack of respect for the memories of all that perished on that day & their survivors and that politicians are doing a grave injustice to the fallen heroes, their families & all the people of New York City & Our Country.THEN PLEASE COPY & PASTE THIS ON YOUR WALL!"
It saddens me that some actually view this as immoral, inhumane and lacking respect. TO me, the hostile attitude towards those who want to build the mosque is immoral, inhumane and lacking respect.
