I, unfortunately, achieved what I’d set out to achieve with our efforts to get a local discussion going on the proposed New York City Muslim community center.
A discussion going we got, indeed, and it was revealing, all too revealing.
I don’t see a way for us to ever be able to repair our broken relations with pretty much anybody in the outside world ever again. That’s how clearly isolationist we’ve become as a nation.
Think about it. It’s national policy (to 40 percent of our nation, anyway) to want to eradicate Islam and its adherents from the face of the earth.
(As if that could ever happen. Right?)
