Sestak joins Bloomy in supporting religious freedom on mosque
At a broiling hot event in a parking lot at a North Philly shopping complex, U.S. Senate hopeful Joe Sestak strongly supported the concept of religious freedom in connection with the ground zero-area mosque, although he deemed it a local issue that should be handled — with sensitivity — by New York.
Sestak and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg also fended off an angry heckler who’s backing Republican Pat Toomey but who showed up in the crowd and accused the Democratic nominee of speaking at an event hosted by a Muslim group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which he noted hasn’t renounced Hamas or Hezbollah.
Yet Sestak has an interesting perspective as a former military man who worked at the Pentagon, which was attacked by the Sept. 11 hijackers.
