By preventing this ‘mosque’ from being built, America is doing us a favor. It’s providing us with more recruits, donations, and popular support. America’s enemies in Afghanistan are delighted by the vehement public opposition to the proposed ‘Ground Zero mosque.’ The backlash against the project has drawn the heaviest e-mail response ever on jihadi Web sites. We are getting even more messages of support and solidarity on the mosque issue and questions about how to fight back against this outrage.
We talk about how America tortures with waterboarding, about the cruel confinement of Muslims in wire cages in Guantanamo, about the killing of innocent women and children in air attacks — and now America gives us another gift with its street protests to prevent a mosque from being built in New York. Showing reality always makes the best propaganda.
