Bigotry & A Tree

There are those on the far-Right who are horrified of a Muslim community “mega-mosque” center 2 blocks away from the former World Trade Center site. As of today, Park51, as it is called has been approved and the former Burlington coat factory building will be demolished to make way for its construction. This is a victory not for “sharia” but religious freedom as guaranteed by the often misinterpreted law of the land, the U.S. Constitution.

Meanwhile in the Middle East, Israel and Lebanon are (literally) fighting over the removal of a tree near the Blue Line.
