Just don't mention that the terrorists were Muslims

Radical Islamist groups in the United States have asked curators at the National September 11 Memorial Museum, set to open on May 21, to censor derogatory references about al-Qaeda in order not to offend Muslims.

Islamist groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and at least one imam from a mosque in lower Manhattan say a six-minute film entitled The Rise of al-Qaeda would “greatly offend” Muslim visitors to the museum because it refers to Jihad and the fact that the hijackers were Muslim.

“Unsophisticated visitors who do not understand the difference between al-Qaeda and Muslims may come away (from the movie) with a prejudiced view of Islam, leading to antagonism and even confrontation toward Muslim believers near the site,” said Sheikh Mustafa Elazabawy,an imam at  Masjib Manhattan, a mosque located about a mile from the site where Muslim terrorists murdered nearly 3000 people in the Twin Towers attack a decade ago.

According to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Elazabawy has not shown the acceptance of Jews that he now demands on behalf of Muslims. His past statements include an accusation that Jews “killed the Prophets and Messengers” and that they are a”cancer … in every generation as they get in power.”

The IPT website also said that during the 2008 Operation Cast Lead, Elazabawy quoted Quranic verses depicting Jews as mischievous and corrupt. He has also blamed Jews for unrest in Afghanistan,  Iraq, Egypt, Sudan and Somalia.He also reportedly accused Israeli leaders Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon of murdering pregnant Palestinian women for sport.

“They kill our children. It’s halal [kosher] for them. It is a hero. It is a victory … Begin and Sharon in 1967, they used to bring the Palestinian women, pregnant Palestinian women. They used to bet between both of them is it son or girl, boy or girl, between Sharon and Begin. And then after all what they did, they killed with a knife, and they opened the belly of the woman to find out if there is a boy or there is a girl. If they found it’s a boy, they killed the boy and they leave it exactly the same what Pharaoh did with them before,” Elazabawy reportedly said.

Notably, Elazabawy is clearly not anti-Semitic. He has reportedly embraced Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, head of the radical anti-Zionist Netuei Karta who has said that that Zionism is ”rooted in… a rebellion against God.

  7. Who the F cares what they want now. It was okay for they to bring the buildings down, killing 2700 innocents and then their buddies danced in the streets world wide in celebration, but they might now be offended.

  9. The truth hurts but needs to be stated even just for historical accuracy my friends…..when have we seen action on your part to get your Muslim friends to legitimize the State of Israel and seek peace not just with Israelis and Palestinians, but with all that surround Israel too.

  23. I object them being here and trying to tell us what and what not to do. We as a America need to stand up to this Mess. Send them all packing back to there own country’s. we will wave our flags say our prayers and read our bibles . Deport all of them

  30. A “RADICAL” Muslim is an “Obedient” to the Qur’an and Hadiths Muslim…They Devour Their OWN…Don’t be Offended..But Know they are NOT Obeying the Commandment to LEAVE that Place where “THEY” Are Being “OFFENDING”..SO They Play AT BEING The VICTIMS …Say Goodbye to YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF WORSHIP.

  46. I bet the Towers were apartheid buildings occupied by Zionists and had to be liberated before they started a holocaust. The city of New York, the US, and families of all those people imprisoned by Zionists liberated (killed) by those planes are not even grateful to Al-Qaeda.

  56. Funny they leave the countries they run away from come to the west and then they try to change the west and try to make it an Islamic country
    That’s what there doing in England and there geting away with it don’t let it happen to the USA .

  59. Muslims do not want peace with Israel
    Muslims want another holocaust
    Stop trying to appease them.
    Appeasement did not work on Hitler.
    Take full control.and annex Jerusalem Gaza and west bank. Remove all dissidents and their families immediately. No more Muslim enclaves. Syria is about to become a.serious danger. Liberal American Jews are a cancer in israel.

  63. This just in. The German government objects to German’s being associated with the Holocaust and have asked curators to remove all associations made between The Holocaust and Germany. Any mention of Hitler, Germany, The SS or other german sounding items will only further Germanophobia and and discriminatory.
