A conservative political activist and pro-family leader is outraged that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is forbidding prayer during the upcoming ceremony commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Robert Knight, a senior fellow for The American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) and a columnist at The Washington Times, recently penned a column called "Observing 9/11 without God." The columnist says Bloomberg has even topped his own endorsement of a mosque near Ground Zero by forbidding prayer during the upcoming 9/11 anniversary.
"I think the mayor is doing what many secular officials do, which is to try to appease Muslim extremists -- he's banning all religious references," Knight suggests. "Of course, that's the excuse they give in government schools and town squares during Christmas. It's like, 'Oh well -- we don't want to offend anyone, so let's just have an atheistic standard.' This is cowardice.
(Billy's Thoughts>>> So an Islam place of worship is OK with the head of New York city but nothing to do with faith which is what got New York and America through the 911 attacks. I hope the good people of New York and for sure the families who had people die in the 911 attacks will speak up.)
