I merely wanted to highlight the changing nature of my fellow countrymen’s irrational prejudices and the Islamamphobia now rampant in American society. Most murder victims that I personally know (and this includes two people who died in a terrorist incident) have been killed by ‘Christians’. This doesn’t mean that I now equate my fellow Christians with murderers the way that some people shamefully equate Muslims with murderers.Petroleum Jellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-45850818964478369952010-09-26T18:42:20.821-07:002010-09-26T18:42:20.821-07:00Chiana, I want to thank you for the thoughtful and...Chiana, I want to thank you for the thoughtful and detailed comments that you leave!

You wear macrame shirts too?? ;-)<br /><br />KatellaGate, I'd like to believe that PetroleumJelly's comment was not meant to make light of 9-11 or the terrible losses that so many people suffered.

One was the Flight Engineer on the Lockerby Flight, One was killed on TV in front of my eyes when the second plane went in (he was in the impact zone so I didn't have to wonder if he jumped), and the last was my aunt in tower 7, who had so much industrial debris deep in her lungs she died in sheer misery of cancer seven years later.<br /><br />So yeah, Muslims make me twichy. Like the Jews were kinda twichy about Germans in 1948. How many more of my family have to be murdered before my "discomfort" is justified?<br /><br />Take your cheap and self-congratulating opinions over to the Daily Kos where you can feel as superior as you want. Far away from me.

Nowadays, of course, they wouldn't be allowed to have so many pavilions from Muslim nations so near to Ground Zero! Ah, remember the days when America was a more hospitable nation?

First, I'm amazed at the height of those skyway buckets. Yiy!<br /><br />I like the mid-century modern exotica air of the Indonesian pavillion (what's with the wreckage on the left? That truck run over stuff?)<br /><br />Someone is filming, professionally, on scaffolding seen above the UAR pavilion. Did themselves proud by the way, the UAR: I dig the joyous celebratory tile-like work to either side of the entrance way. It even upstages Otho with fur-collar beige coat, hat and umbrella styling implausibly under the Egypt sign on the left.<br /><br />A parade is passing by in front of the Sudan pavilion for a few devout parade-consumers; a surrey with fringe on top, 6 horsepower team about to run over a man in blue and 9 cold and wet dignitaries. All under an unoccupied Skyway closed for rain.<br /><br />Jordan represented by a most distinctive structure whilst Greece sent 4 stones from a building ruined 2,658 years ago that nobody there had even started to fix yet. How's that for making a statement.<br /><br />If a model of the world's largest jute mill doesn't getcha well... you shoulda gone fishing after all. But the novel tapestry will help brighten things. :)Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.com
