Freedom from page 37

nearly across the street, even if it is
in the spirit of religious solidarity
and brotherhood, even if its teach-
ings are moderate, inclusive and
secular rather than radical and dis-
criminating, even if those who build
the mosque openly acknowledge the
murderous crimes committed in the
name of Islam, the fact still remains
that the victims don't want it there,
and the ashes of the 9-11 dead will
no doubt rest even less peacefully
if a mosque is facing the memorial
that has still not even been built to
honor their death.
The approval of the mosque at
Ground Zero shouldn't even be
framed as a constitutional ques-
tion. Nor is the issue whether the
ADL is being hypocritical.
Actually, the issue is whether
the ADL stands alone among anti-
discrimination groups in showing
the proper sensitivity, decency, and
respect for the dead while those in
support of the mosque are simply
blinded by the reflexive freedoms of
the First Amendment that so often
privileges speech over pain.

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge

Iran insists that Israel is a true
danger to the Middle East,
saying in a recent letter to the
International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) that the Jewish
state has illegitimate nuclear
capabilities and enhances them
with illegal contributions from
outside sources.

D

The Answer

Iran points to Israel to divert
attention from its own viola-
tion of IAEA regulations and
inspections. Israel has never
threatened a neighbor with con-
ventional or non-conventional
weaponry.
