Muslims are the real victims of Islamic terrorism. Like 9/11. The murder of thousands of Americans really hurts Muslim feelings.
A Muslim activist group in New York state is asking that the words “Islamic terrorists” be scrubbed from a 9-11 memorial because it fears the language is inflammatory and may lead to anti-Muslim violence.
The group, the Islamic Organization of Southern Tier, tells KTRK-TV that the monument in Owego, NY unfairly paints all Muslims with the same brush. It would prefer that the word “Islamic” be scrubbed and replaced with just “terrorists” or even “Al Qaeda terrorists.”
But town officials are pushing back. Owego town supervisor Donald Castellucci says the monument is accurate as-is and will not be altered.
We must never forget that the real victims of every Muslim terrorist attacks are the Muslims that the media rushes to interview to express their fear of the backlash that never materializes.
