Anti-Defamation League says, ‘let the bigots win’
The press release from the Anti-Defamation League about the Park51 project in New York is truly disappointing and depressing. excerpt:
Proponents of the Islamic Center may have every right to build at this site, and may even have chosen the site to send a positive message about Islam. The bigotry some have expressed in attacking them is unfair, and wrong. But ultimately this is not a question of rights, but a question of what is right. In our judgment, building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain - unnecessarily - and that is not right.
