Many Christians have literally and deliberately been led to believe that they own ground zero.

Pretty much. And that’s damned sad, IMO. 9/11 could have been a teachable moment about how Americans of all faiths, races, genders, and creeds died due to the fanaticism and intolerance of a small few, and how we collectively have to fight against that sort of radicalism for all our sakes.

Instead, it’s been turned into a bludgeon that the bigots use to smear all Muslims as radicals and terrorists, and where they like to pretend that the only Muslims who died that day were the assholes who hijacked the planes. It’s infuriating.
