The same fascists who degrade women and preach holy war. The same fascists who told people the lie, and actually convinced them of it, that if they killed themselves and committed mass murder in the process they would get to live for eternity in a place that sounds like Santa Claus's workshop. The same fascists who have demonstrated hyper sensitivity against the slightest criticism of their repugnant philosophy but claim to be baffled anyone would be upset at building, just yards from the hole in the ground that was once the World Trade Center, a 13 story 100 million dollar tax free monstrosity that they want to open on September 11 2011. </div>

<br>The community board responsible for the area unanimously voted for it, but of course, you know better what should be in their neighborhood than them.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

I guess that's why on September 12 2001 huge demonstrations spontaneously broke out all over the Islamic world condemning the hijackers. Oh wait that didn't happen. </div>
<div class="im"><div><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You know what? The Amish also didn't break out in spontaneous large demonstrations, neither did Novascotians or the Iroquois. Clearly all three parties were in cahoots with the hijackers.</div>
