Where Have Those Bridges Been?

I stumbled upon this clip this morning when reading about one of my favorite National train wrecks, Sarah Palin :



It has almost been a full nine years since extremists attacked our country, and killed so many people not only who were American, but international in the World Trade Center. In the recent weeks we have been hearing more than I care to hear about this event, because of the nature of the discussions.

Sarah Palin, as we know is just one ignorant conservative, like the blind leading the blind, and I am not surprised that her comments on the New York City Islamic Community Center planned for 4-5 blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center are just as ignorant as everything else she has ever opened her mouth on.

In the clip above, Palin, and some old white guy continue to ask about building bridges, and why the Muslim community hasn't reached out until this time to build bridges in the New York City area. Unfortunately for them, this question shows their ignorance as this community has repeatedly reached out, and is continually met with religious bias, racism, and hate. Like I cited in my post yesterday... In the years after 9/11 Muslim American's are more likely to be the victims of a terrorist act than anyone else in our country. Which is incredibly sad.

Now to insert my opinion.

As someone who is part of a minority community : Being a woman, if I was treated the way these same communities have been treated, I would not continue to reach out into the local community, I would not take others feelings into consideration, and I certainly wouldn't take their thoughts or concerns into consideration in anything I did.

People continue to forget, it was not just Americans, or Catholic, Christian White Americans that died on 9/11. We had Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Whites, Asians, Catholics, Christians, Mormons, and people from ALL backgrounds killed by these disgusting extremists. NOT only WHITE CHRISTIAN AMERICANS!

In fact there were people from a number of countries in that building working, visiting, and in meetings when those planes flew into the World Trade Center. It was not an American attack, while it was done on American soil. It was an attack on freedom. It was an attack on every person, company, and background in that building at the moment that plane hit.

Ms. Palin, get your head out of your ass yet again, and realize that the bridges have been partially constructed, and demolished by the ignorant hate of Americas, just like yourself!
