I’m a little uncomfortable about this because my instinct – my strong instinct – is to stay far, far away from religious issues.
But, this business about the proposal to build Mosque in lower Manhattan has become big enough so that the Washington Post made it a front page story in its Sunday edition. Here was the lede:
One day after President Obama defended the freedom of Muslims to build an Islamic complex near New York’s Ground Zero, he offered a less forceful version of that position on Saturday: Yes, Muslims have that right, Obama said – but that doesn’t mean he believes it is the right thing for them to do.
Doesn’t exactly qualify President Obama for a chapter header in a new edition of “Profiles in Courage,” does it?
