A group of Jewish activists and community leaders voiced their support for a planned mosque near ground zero and said opponents, including the nation’s leading Jewish civil rights group are perpetuating misunderstandings about Islam.
Yes right, Islam is peace. Western people know it. But the Muslims seem not be able to understand their own religion.
Waskow says the mosque will help people learn more about Islam.
Perhaps he should change the profession.
“Whenever there has been bloodshed allegedly in the name of one tradition or another, it’s necessary to say, ’That’s not what that tradition is about,’” Waskow, 76, said.
This sounds loose.
“I was really surprised that the Anti-Defamation League opened the door to that kind of hatred,” he said. “That door must be closed gently and firmly.”
I think he confuses cause and effect.
