Why did no one object to the "Pentagon mosque"?

[cynatnite]

Yes, Muslims have infiltrated the Pentagon for their nefarious, prayerful purposes -- daring to practice their religion inside the building where 184 people died on Sept. 11, 2001. They haven't even had the sensitivity to move two blocks, let alone a mile, away from that sacred site.

The "desecration" began shockingly soon after the attacks. Cox reported in October 2001:

Army Chaplain Abdul-Rasheed Muhammad, the first Muslim chaplain to serve in the military, read a verse from the Koran at the memorial service at the Pentagon on Thursday, exactly one month after the attack. Muhammad, who became a chaplain eight years ago and works at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, ministered to rescuers in front of the smoldering Pentagon after the attack.

Any guesses as to why no one has ever heard about Muslims praying at the Pentagon -- let alone cared? It's almost as if the entire "ground zero mosque" controversy was whipped up out of nothing by a right-wing tabloid and politicians in search of a wedge issue ...

1. This story needs to be out there

so MSM will pick it up. The right wingers need to know about it so they can make up excuses as to why that one is okay :sarcasm:

Am sure during the Bush Regime it was not noticed since the drumbeat to war was so loud and drowning out everything else.
This really does need to grow legs and be highly visible in MSM.

3. Because righties love authoritarian figures

of which the Pentagram is full.

[drm604]

4. Because they don't know about it.

Faux News hasn't reported it because no politician has seen any advantage in making it an issue. If it becomes general knowledge you can bet the brain dead on the right will start screaming about it.

5. I object that there are any religious services of any kind at the Pentagon

8. You know what? I agree with you.

I'm uncomfortable that the Pentagon is sponsoring any religious services of any kind.

This isn't a great analogy to the "ground zero mosque" issue at all imho.
