Al-Azhar Clerics Oppose Ground Zero Mosque Several clerics from Al-Azhar have rejected the construction of a mosque near New York's Ground Zero. A member of the Al-Azhar Islamic Research Center, Dr. Abd Al-Muwati Biyumi, said that the mosque's construction could connect Islam and 9/11, while Islam is innocent of the deed. He also called the plan a "Zionist plot." Source: Al-Masri Al-Yawm, Egypt, August 5, 2010 Of course, it will connect Islam and 9/11. thememriblog.org

The ad was refused. When I asked on what grounds, CBS Outdoor told me that the city said that "images of 911 were not allowed." I was floored. I said, "It is American history. How can it be banned? What about Pearl Harbor? Is that censored too? On what grounds are 911 images banned? It is unconscionable." The CBS Outdoor representative told me: "You can't run the plane." This idiot doesn't know the difference between free speech and placing an ad with a private company. A company has no obligation to run any ad. They do it to make money but if they think the ad may be inflammatory they are likely to back off. And they are likely to deny anyone who wants to run such ads.......winger or liberal. Frankly, I don't understand why Rs don't understand this concept. Are the schools GOPers attend inferior, or are GOPers the dumb ones who never learned anything while in school? BTW if she wants to carry her stupid and outrageous sign while walking around NYC, that's her freedom of speech in action and she's entitled.
