Moral outrage hypocritical

Re: Mosque really about pushing Sharia law, Salim Mansur, Aug. 28, 2010

The area surrounding the “hallowed” soil of Ground Zero is rife with bars, salons, liquor stores, and -- wait for it -- porn shops run by smut peddlers.

Tellingly, indignant critics of situating a Muslim centre including a mosque near Ground Zero are sheepishly silent on this score. Who do they think they’re kidding when they insist cultural sensitivity and moral outrage is their sole motivation?
