Andrew Sullivan on Mosque Attack: 'This Little Incident Moved Me Deeply'

Posted by Jim Ridley on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 5:10 PM

Andrew Sullivan picks up both the City Paper and Pith reports on the aftermath of the Al-Farooq mosque vandalism. How come the loons don't pester him? (h/t: Steve H.)

Actually, he does take e-mail, and I'm sure he's heard from some loons [I know he heard from me; I passed on the Pith link. What does that tell you?].

"How come the loons don't pester him?"
Probably because he really, truly, doesn't care a crap Pink. The Mosque attack moved me deeply too. However, that does not mean that I'm carried off with forgiveness about doctrinaire war on infidels. From any quarter. (With whom, by the way, on the surface, I might be considered to be sympatico.) Jihad does not occupy part of my thinking. I'll just stay out of sight.
I think it's wonderful that so many servants of The Lord showed up to spruce things up over there. But that doesn't make one right and the other wrong.
Take your pick.

Sully may have started picking up City/Scene since this town crowned Sarah Palin Queen of the Tea Baggers.
About the Mosque Sully feels deeply as he experiences hatered from many people also.
Since Pres Obama started running for offce and after he landed the Job of being President there have been at least 36 hate groups to spring up in the Nashville to Franklin Area.
This country has moved forward in ome areas but in the area of LGBTQ community ,the black,The Latino and the Muslim community I think we have regressed.
People usually become filled with hate when the economy is bad and it can be directed against the minorities and that is sad.

All the buzz going around about it maybe having been a "false flag" done by Muslims to stir up sympathy ~really~ gets my panties in a knot!
Sit on it, you redneck honkie skinhead bigots! Just because Muslims have done things like that in the past is ~no~ reason to make accusations for which there is ~NO EVIDENCE~!!
Did any of you SEE a Muslim spray painting their own place or the sign in Murfreesboro? NO! There's not ~one~ eyewitness to it. So ~stuff~ it. Sideways!

HONKIE?(!!!) What kind of racist shit is this? Wash your mouth out with soap. Better yet your brain.
"Did any of you SEE a Muslim spray painting their own place or the sign in Murfreesboro?"
Not likely to either. Militant Muslims aren't paying attention to constructive stuff like paint, paper, sheet rock, hammer and nails etc. Pipe bombs, plastique, Molotov cocktails and gun powder are more their focus. Those are what get the job done.
