Subject: RE: In Remembrance
It wasn't about me either, but that didn't stop you or the others from trying to make it so.

I responded to what I perceive as racist, inflammatory statements in the opening post of this thread. Mudcat has become more and more accepting of this anti-Muslim racist shit, especially since so many people are now voting for one or the other candidate who is promising to carry on the Crusades in the name of America's Freedom.

Flaming me won't shut me up, or keep me from calling people on their anti-Muslim bigotry, especially when it is wrapped up in that "9/11 is my birthday, and I'm so bummed about it" sympathy ploy.

These kinds of juvenile, narcissistic, pathetic attempts to get attention by associating one's self with tragedy (which is currently at epidemic proportions in the US) is maudlin, phony, and a slap in the face to anyone who TRULY WAS effected directly by the events 9/11 by surviving the attacks personally, or losing someone in them.
