Muslims complain about town's 9/11 memorial

By Todd Starnes 

A group of New York Muslims has taken offense at a small town's new memorial honoring those who died in the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier fired off a letter to city leaders in Owego – alleging that words engraved in the granite memorial would encourage hatred toward Muslims.

The entire inscription reads:

"On September 11, 2001 nineteen Islamic terrorists unsuspectedly boarded four airliners departing east coast airports to hijack the planes and carry out a series of coordinated attacks against the United States. This is a tribute to all the lives lost that day and to the heroic sacrifice of all who rushed to help. As Americans, we honor their memory by living our lives in freedom. We will never forget."

Mr. Castelluci said they have no plans to change a single letter in the town's memorial.

Changing the name doesn't change the fact that they were muslim. Bravo Mr. Castelluci! Hopefully, the muslim in charge won't have DoJ step in and declare the memorial racist.

One wonders if BLM will come to the aid of the Muslims?  :smile:

They won't change it for a bunch of dirtbag Mussies, so some judge will do it for them.
