Attack On 9/11 Shrine

[EdNigma]

They come to American to destroy the shrines of 9-11 heros. IMHO, if you immigrate to another country, it is your duty to have respect for their heros/history/way of life. However, we all know that this attitude is few and far between.

If you have let the rage of 9-11 fade, hopefully this will remind you.

Also, to say he must be 'sick' gives him an excuse other than the truth of the matter. Which is, islam has no tolerance for other religions, people, or cultures.

October 3, 2006 -- A man described by police as a Turkish-born Muslim was charged yesterday with destroying a Queens memorial to a fallen 9/11 cop while screaming, "This is political!" The Post has learned.
Adnan Emre, 26, tore down a portion of Officer Paul Talty's tribute attached to a light post at 50th Avenue and Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City, police sources said.
It consisted of 5-inch-by-7-inch picture of the late officer, a cross, a plaque and crossed American and Irish flags. The plaque is inscribed, "Rest in Peace, Paul. We miss you. God Bless."
Emre ripped down the cross at about 7:52 a.m., cops said, and announced his deed by screaming, "This is political!"
"There are so many deranged people," said the officer's mom, Barbara Talty. "This doesn't surprise me, but it's sad."
Talty's sister, Patricia Dougan, said the suspect must be unstable.
"I just have to think whoever would do this isn't right in the mind," Dougan said.
A passing MTA booth clerk witnessed the vandalism and called cops, who responded from the 108th Precinct station house just down the block.
Emre was charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, said a spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. He faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Talty, 40, rushed to the World Trade Center's south tower as it fell.
Talty had served in the 108th Precinct before he was transferred to the NYPD's elite Emergency Service Unit.
He left behind a preteen boy and girl - and a pregnant wife, who gave birth to a girl two weeks after the attacks.
Talty's survivors maintain the memorial.
Emre is a native of Turkey but now lives in Long Island City, police said.
Local residents were outraged by the destruction.
"If I caught him, he'd be dead, the bastard!" fumed Tom Ledden, 71, a long-time Long Island City resident and military veteran.
Sung Park, owner of a deli across the street from Talty's memorial, said he fondly remembers the cop as a friendly, regular customer:
"I only have good memories of him," he said.
"Who would do this? He's a nut. People died on 9/11 and this sicko destroys the memorial? You must be really sick."

I have to agree, Ed. This is not sickness; it's just plain evil. And it does sound like the man is motivated by religion, no matter that he said "political."

Why is always immediately sickness (ok it is a sickness of a mind infected by religious hatred) there is NO excuse for this behaviour.

THe Arab & Islamic world is littered with posters and memorials to so called martyrs yet NOT one of them considers that to be political.

These people want to set their standards in our countries, yet when we go to their countries we must obey their laws, what a duplicitous and hipocritical attitude.

I agree. It falls along the lines of this.

You have a friend whose house is on a nice piece of land, pool, all the things you would love in a house. You ask your friend. "May I come and live in your house, it looks so good to me." Your friend willingly invites you in, gives you a job, roof, food, and takes care of you. Then, you go on to tell your friend how to RUN his house. What pictures he can hang, whom he may call friends, what he say, eat, and basically shape the house into what YOU want it to be.

How long do you think your friend would let you stay?
