Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
"Joe is correct, the guy was either an idiot....calling the crowd motherfuckers, or a self publicist looking for his 15 minutes of fame."



Ake must have missed this.


"He was in the area because quote: he "is a Union carpenter who works at Ground Zero". After being confronted he states "I'm not even Muslim!". "


I'm curious to know how he was publicising himself, or how walking to and from work was going to get him his 15 minutes of fame.


Then again, I suppose it is likely that Ake didn't miss it, but just chose to ignore it.


If Ake says the guy was provking the crowd then it follows that it must be true, and if you support the guys right to go to and from work without being harrassed, and condemn the crowd to victimize him on his way to and from work, then you are a "liberal fascist".


Thanks to Ake we have established the key issue highlighted by the video - the irresponsibility of innocent passers by for not anticipating that a crowd protesting against a mosque might be aggressive racists.


It was his own fault that he was abused, so Ake is right to add to that abuse by calling him an idiot.


I suppose it would be comparable to a teenage girl wearing a miniskirt to a nightclub and then being raped, insofar as he was asking for it really.


FW is back folks.
