Why did no one object to the "Pentagon mosque"?

By Justin Elliott



Navy imam Chaplain Abuhena M. Saifulislam lifted his voice to God as he called to prayer more than 100 Department of Defense employees Monday at a celebration of Ramadan at the Pentagon.

Yes, Muslims have infiltrated the Pentagon for their nefarious, prayerful purposes -- daring to practice their religion inside the building where 184 people died on Sept. 11, 2001. They haven't even had the sensitivity to move two blocks, let alone a mile, away from that sacred site.

snip:

Army Chaplain Abdul-Rasheed Muhammad, the first Muslim chaplain to serve in the military, read a verse from the Koran at the memorial service at the Pentagon on Thursday, exactly one month after the attack. Muhammad, who became a chaplain eight years ago and works at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, ministered to rescuers in front of the smoldering Pentagon after the attack.

Any guesses as to why no one has ever heard about Muslims praying at the Pentagon -- let alone cared? It's almost as if the entire "ground zero mosque" controversy was whipped up out of nothing by a right-wing tabloid and politicians in search of a wedge issue ...

1. I guess most people assume

that the military is keeping a watchful eye on their Muslim collegues these days.

Or, maybe not, at Fort Hood...

But like everything else the morons do, they pick one hot topic and drill it into the heads of those who are transfixed to their boob tubes.

8. Who knew the Pentagon was really a mosque?

Well, if you apply the same reasoning that's being used to label the Cordoba House, then the Pentagon is also a mosque.
