Mark Steel Looks at the 'Ground Zero Mosque' Row

Wednesday, 25 August 2010 14:21

We thought you might enjoy Mark Steel’s comic take on the hypocrisy and confused thought processes of those opposing the proposed Islamic centre in New York.

Writing in The Independent he observes:

“To give yourself a stressful and futile day, try telling people there are no plans to build a mosque at Ground Zero. You'll get nowhere, although the truth is there are plans to build an Islamic centre, with a swimming pool open to everyone, two blocks away from Ground Zero. So if this is a continuation of the terrorist agenda as claimed, it's been a peculiar plan, and Bin Laden must have started by telling his followers "First we will destroy their buildings – and then, oo it's so deliciously evil, we will get people to swim near to where the buildings were... mwaHAHAHAHAHA.”
