I'm glad to see you realize the bigotry in blaming (or expecting an apology from) any wasp other than the two that stung your kid (or wishing the wasps would condemn the tactics of the stingers). All this hoopla about there being an issue among many Muslims concerning the tendency to advocate or tacitly support the use of terrorist tactics is just discrimination against Muslims. Nineteen individual Muslims were responsible for the Towers and their inhabitants going down and nobody else period. Nobody has any business examining anything like the sentiment on the Arab Street, funding of those and other terrorists (by Mosques or other funding) etc., or encouraging a more vocal and public dialogue among influential Muslim groups. People like Fouad Ajami who want to see this dialogue? They're just "bigots" spewing "hatred" and they don't have "God on their side." Carry on
The cheering by these Egyptian residents of the WTC tower collapse has no broader meaning whatsoever beyond the men pictured. We should not expect anyone to condemn terrorist tactics and the loss of innocent human lives and to do so is bigotry. That they are Muslim is just a coincidence. Surely, hoardes of Irish Catholics stood in the streets of Dublin cheering too
