The New York Times Muffs Mosques And Confederate Monuments

Are you as surprised as I am that the New York Times believes in ?graciousness and reconciliation? toward Confederates? Well, that?s not quite true, since it extends that olive branch only to Confederates who are long dead ... and to self-described ?moderate? Muslims who want to build a Mosque near Ground Zero.

If you?re interested, take a look at what I have to say, here on Pajamas Media, about the interesting Times editorial.

Perhaps compared to other Muslims those Muslims are ?moderate,? much as the segregationist White Citizens Councils were ?moderate? compared to the Ku Klux Klan. Thinking back to those civil rights days also reminds me of Laurie Pritchett, then the sheriff in Albany, Georgia (pronounced all-BENNY, where I
had and have relatives). He, too, was described as a ?moderate? white Southern sheriff .. because he only beat up civil rights workers when he was mad at them.
