And there was a 'mosque' in the towers, if by 'mosque' you mean 'an official area for Muslims to pray.'

They're the asshat people who give my girlfriend in NY shit and have the gall to say they won't believe her mom is a veteran...because her family isn't white.

Gaaaarrgh.

And, you know, if I'm an American, (and I am), it is my business. Because this is about what country I want to live in, and what it means to be a citizen. And being a citizen shouldn't be about shutting up and standing down. It should be about standing up and being proud of who you are.

I'm a Canuck so I'm a little removed from it but - yes. GAH.

Goddamn I doubt these asses know there WAS an official prayer area -
