An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Fighting “Political Correctness”
Father of 9/11 Victim Fights to Have ‘Murdered by Muslim Terrorists’ Inscribed on Son’s Memorial
Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, James, who was killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
And he also wants people to remember how he died: “Murdered by Muslim terrorists.”
For Gadiel, any tribute to his son would be woefully incomplete without those words.
I tend to agree with Mr Gadiel. The young man was murdered….by MUSLIM terrorists.
“I think it’s important, because I think there’s a nationwide effort to suppress the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks,” Gadiel told Fox News.
Unfortunately, he’s right. All in the name of “diversity”. Screw diversity. If some people want to forget who carried out the murders of 3,000 people, that’s their prerogative. Don’t ask a grieving father, or anyone else, with an ounce of common sense to do the same.
Kent, Conn., has wanted to honor the young man with a memorial plaque next to its town hall. But the tribute has hit a snag because James’ father wants to include the phrase, “Murdered by Muslim terrorists,” under his son’s name.
For Peter Gadiel, it is a central fact of the Sept. 11 attacks that is often left out.
“It isn’t just overlooked, it’s suppressed,” Gadiel said. “It’s simply wrong to imply that people just died. The buildings didn’t just collapse, they didn’t just fall down — they were attacked by people with a specific identity, a specific purpose.”
Have so many really forgotten what happened 8 years ago?

Source. Hmm…. Not a Joe Smith, Catholic, or a Avi Horowitz, Jewish, in the bunch.
Town officials call the phrase too controversial for a small town memorial, and they recently voted against erecting the plaque if Gadiel insists on the language.
What’s controversial? Truth is controversial?
“We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town,” said Ruth Epstein, a Kent selectman and one of two town leaders to vote the plaque down. “To disparage any one ethnic group is just against everything that we stand for here.”
Well, if the Norwegians had murdered 3,000 human beings, I’d say put “Murdered by Norwegian terrorists”. Oh, but wait, Norwegians aren’t murderous pieces of trash, are they.
Epstein noted that other Sept. 11 memorials, like the one at the Pentagon, don’t mention Muslim terrorists, and she said she does not want to alienate any members of her small and close-knit community.
And that was a mistake too. People need to be reminded who attacked us, and continue to attack, through various means now.
“We have at least one Muslim family living here with children and it — it would be just awful to have them see something like that,” Epstein told Fox News.
Does that Muslim family not know who hijacked 4 planes, and murdered not only those on the planes, but many more going about their daily business, not knowing it would be their last day on earth? In 100 years (if we’re still a nation), will anyone even know who perpetrated the atrocity? Or will it have faded into obscurity while our descendants bow to Mecca.

how ANYONE, including other muslims, can want to protect things theyve done like this is beyond me. We all as a whole (humanity) should be shouting them down from the rooftops that theyre monsters, and were not going to tolerate it.
Oooh….but that would be…so…so…so…..intolerant!
HUMPH! Because of such actions, I’m becoming more and more intolerant of the blatant ignorance. (insert four lettered words here)
