[Vision2020] September 11th Memorial Events

Sat Sep 10 09:47:24 PDT 2011

My pardon for not responding on this topic.  No, it wouldn't matter to 
me if it were a celebratory block party sponsored by a Muslim mosque.  
Assuming they are celebrating the return of UI and WSU students to campus.

If they were reveling in the work of the terrorists, then I would think 
they are absolutely bat-shit insane for having their block party and I 
would think it in horrible taste and would not agree with them one whit, 
and I would be encouraging people not to fly off the handle and do 
something stupid.  I would also be more-than-likely arguing against 
shutting them down, unless their safety could not be guaranteed.  
Freedom of expression and all that.
