While I agree with most of what Giuliani says here, there are two points that seriously frost me.
09/11/01 was committed in the name of Islam. As such it is as big an insult as it could be, for Imams to be included in any memorial related to 09/11. It was also an insult of the highest order for them to be involved shortly after 09/11.
If a Christian had killed 3,000 Hindus by an act of terrorism in the name of Christ, would it be proper to force Hindus to sit through a service led out in part by Christians? I say no.
The proper way for Christians to show their sorrow would be to hold a special service of their own, to voice objection to what had taken place and offer Hindu followers their sympathy.
Imams don’t belong at these events. Christian leaders do. Bloomberg is a lost soul, and no Islamic facility belongs near ground zero.
Agree with what you said, in fact, love it.
