Spat Over 'Muslim Terrorists' Halts 9/11 Marker

Dad of one victim wants those words on it; town says not on public property

Ruth Epstein, a first selectman in Kent, Conn., says that to add "Muslim terrorists" to a planned 9/11 memorial would be disparaging towards Muslims.

HARTFORD, Conn. - A memorial to honor a Sept. 11 victim from a small northwestern Connecticut town has been halted by the unexpected conflict arising from his father's insistence it say his son was murdered by "Muslim terrorists."

Town officials in Kent are balking, saying it would be inappropriate to single out a religious group in a project on town property and paid for with taxpayers' money. The memorial plaque to be erected outside the town hall is on indefinite hold.

Peter Gadiel is criticizing town leaders for being too politically correct, and says he's frustrated about what he calls a growing trend across the country to soften the reality of the Sept. 11 attacks by not mentioning a word about terrorism on victims' memorials.

Good for the father! Tell it like is, America. How could it be any other way?

[LibFreeUSA]

So, if not “Muslim”, then what other word would be more appropriate to describe these terrorists?

[VR-21]

The American political class has all but officially redefined the word ‘truth’ as ‘hate.’ Soon one can expect to face charges for such ‘truth.’

[TXBlair]

Yes, yes. We wouldn’t want to be “disparaging” toward muslims with regards to 9/11.

There once were councilmen from Kent,
With a particularly Islamofacist supporting bent,
Along came a parent with argument of merit
So, they tried not let him share it,
Oh, how much better this would be if he was from Nantucket.
For then he could tell them — ———

The day is coming when Clergymen will have to stop preaching that homosexuality is sin or lose their tax exempt status for their churches.

Some will go along to keep that status.

"Some will go along to keep that status."

And will continue sermonizing about moral standing of prostitution.

Is Connecticut on this planet?

Radical Islam is an insame murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Lets ask selectman Epstein if the word Nazis should be omitted when referring to the Holocaust because it would be disparaging towards Germans.

What’s wrong with Islamic terrorists? That works too, right? This is much to do about nothing. Call them what they are.

You are a master poet! Thanks for sharing your creative talent that has exposed a serious flaw in your culture.

[NorwegianViking]

I meant to say, “a serious flaw in OUR culture!”
