Who better than the Onion to highlight the situation of anti Islamic hysteria we are observing today, in light of the Park 51 mosque project.

The deliberate attempts by those who hate to stoke other's emotions ignorantly against one faith and its followers is a modern tragedy, especially in the information age. The hate crimes that have taken place since, including the stabbing of a NYC cab driver, numerous attacks on mosques, and intimidation and harassment of Muslims across the country are the direct result of giving legitimacy to such hatred. Bravo to those who have stood up for truth and stood against hate. Bravo to Mayor Bloomberg, John Stewart, Keith Olbermann. The President backed off of such a stance for political reasons. Shame on the media and the republicans for making an issue of hate one to ride on. Everyone of you will look back on this episode with regret.
