Arab-Americans accuse 9/11 Memorial Museum of discrimination
Bizpac Review ^ | September 16, 2013 | Cheryl Carpenter Klimek

Tourists visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City can read its brochures in 10 different languages – but Arabic is not one of them. Nor will it be any time soon.

“Nine languages are spoken by over 97 percent of our visitors: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian, Japanese and Russian,” a representative from the memorial told the New York Post.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, claiming Arabic is the world’s fourth-most-spoken language, is sending letters to memorial coordinators demanding answers on why the language is not included.

But it appears that the Arabic community is looking for more than just brochures printed in its language. An August AlJazeera.com report describes Manhattan as the area once known as Little Syria:

I wonder how many years it was before the Pearl Harbor brochures were printed in Japanese. Probably longer than ten years.

By the time that happened, I imagine Japanese visitors didn't applaud the attack and the deaths.

If then. Culturally, the Arab-speaking world only marinates in the distant past.

How does one write “Islam is a war plan” in Arabic?

Streets that are now lined with skyscrapers housing the headquarters of world financial institutions were instead lined with low-rise Arabic coffee shops, Middle Eastern restaurants and shops. Men in traditional fezzes poured coffee for passers-by on the streets.

The unspoken message would be "This was Muslim territory once. It is thus Muslim territory forever, and the infidels must be driven out!"

The AADC was established in the early 1980’s, patterned after the successful Jewish organization, the B’Nai Brith Anti-Discrimination League.

However, there was a great difference. The AADC was a logical extension of the pro-PL “Palestine Human Rights Campaign” (PHRC), which was literally a joint project of the PLO Lobby (Zogby brothers, Jabara, etc) and the Communist Party YSA (Jack O’Dell, CPUSA, SCLC, Op. Breadbasket-PUSH-Rainbow Coalition run, over time by Dr. King Jr. and Jesse Jackson Jr.).

The AADC was an expansion on the PHRC leftists/PLO lobby but included many of the same people, while adding more Arab-Americans from other organizations.

Their goal, like that of CAIR, has been to attack anyone who tells the truth about Islamic extremists/extremism, to spread disinformation about the threat from these organizations/movements, and to undermine the American will to defend themselves from them.

(there are no Arabs in Star Trek because it is set in the future).

America: The Federation

Russia: The Klingons

China: The Romulans

Islam: The Borg.

These people need to get a clue.

It’s not in Arabic because these people are not welcome there.

And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country."

On [Red] Flag Day (June 14, 2012) POSOTUS wrote this on the beam of the ONE WORLD Trade Center.

The "We" certainly was NOT the We in We The People. Those words were hoisted up like a flag/symbol/monument of conquest, more like. Reads like a threat.

This Muslim group ought to be on their knees apologizing instead they flaunt their arrogance.

The writers of Star Trek have a decided liberal bent, so I’m pretty confident we’ll see arabs in the next TV incarnation.

Odd. My parents went to Pearl Harbor to see the memorials and exhibits there and practically all their fellow tourists were Japanese.

Muslims in America just don’t get it.

Their religion is anathema to peace and prosperity. They contribute nothing but grief and silence regarding terrorist tragedies. Most Americans hate them as much as they hate this government.

Go back to the desert!
