From the article:
Peter Zieve, president of Mukilteo-based Electroimpact, said he is throwing in the towel on his campaign to raise concerns about the mosque and what he says is a link between having a mosque in a community and breeding Islamic radicalization.
“Apparently I have no privacy, and I have no freedom of thought,” Zieve said Wednesday afternoon.
The negative response that he got via email and in local newspapers “just completely overwhelmed me,” he said. “I didn’t anticipate it.” […]
My irony meter just exploded. First Amendment for me, but not for thee, I guess. How dare people (especially Muslims) be offended—I demand free expression without push-back or consequences!
