#4  It's also cultural suicide.

#3  I hope this father of one of the 9/11 victims stands his ground:

"A memorial to honor a Sept. 11 victim from a small northwestern Connecticut town has been halted by the unexpected conflict arising from his father's insistence it say his son was murdered by "Muslim terrorists."

Town officials in Kent are balking, saying it would be inappropriate to single out a religious group in a project on town property and paid for with taxpayers' money. The memorial plaque to be erected outside the town hall is on indefinite hold.

Peter Gadiel is criticizing town leaders for being too politically correct, and says he's frustrated about what he calls a growing trend across the country to soften the reality of the Sept. 11 attacks by not mentioning a word about terrorism on victims' memorials.

"Ordinarily I would not want a reference to his murder on his memorial, but there seems to be an effort to whitewash what happened that day," said Gadiel, a 61-year-old retired real estate investor.

"I don't think it's right that people should be murdered like that, and that people intentionally forget what happened. It's wrong. It's immoral."

We should stop calling it terror and terrorism and call it what it is.

Jihad.

Terrorism can be committed by just about anyone; Only muslims commit jihad.

#1  Beneath the official multicultural smokescreen which dare not speak the name of the religion that prompted this attack, I believe most Americans understand this was a terrorist attack on America.
