Greg Palast on THE Mosque for BuzzFlash: Why Not Ban All Churches From Oklahoma Because McVeigh Was Christian?

GREG PALAST FOR BUZZFLASH

BuzzFlash just got off the phone with Greg Palast who wanted to make sure that BuzzFlash got his latest -- and perhaps most droll -- piece posted first (in addition to his site). In it Greg offers his irreverent reflections on THE Mosque controversy (it's really a community center, by the way).
Separation of Church and Hate:
The Kate Mosque Solution

Since everyone seems to have an opinion about the mosque near Ground Zero (and President Obama has two), I'd like to ask you all a couple of questions:

Given that white Christian supremacist Tim McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building, shouldn't we ban white churches from Oklahoma?

As New York City's indigenous Lanape Natives died at Ground Zero by the thousands when overrun by Christian colonists, shouldn't we ban Christian churches from their sacred ground?

3. I suggested the very argument to a friend the other day
But it is an interesting commentary.
