Sheboygan County on '20/20' tonight

[zinnisking]

A camera crew was in the area this week taping interviews involving two events — the controversy surrounding the opening of a mosque in the Town of Wilson this past spring, and the search in Lake Michigan for 9-year-old Sofia Khan, which brought together Sofia's Muslim family and Christian residents of Sheboygan County who opened their homes to them.

Instead of calling the opposition to the mosque what they were/are, a group of xenophobes who think they own America, 20/20 is framing it as "Sheboygan County's struggles with Islam".

"The other topics are "What is Islam? Why do radicals feel violence is justified? Is Western culture at odds with Islam?" and "Where is the moderate Muslim voice?""

1. Another topic might be "why is Sheboygan hallowed ground?"

4. I might have even watched the show

if that was a that was the way they framed it.

2. There was no "struggle."

It was a few, (VERY few,) noisy assholes against the mosque, led by an Oostburg minister who was in hysterics, he brought in one of those professional Muslim-hating demagogues.

The anti-mosque losers failed totally.

3. The red faced Irish guy shaking his bible

at the town board was really creepy. I assume that was the Oostburg minister.

5. I had no idea we lost a little 9 year old in Sheboygan..... That is so awful to read.

I agree with you about the wording. Another missed opportunity to shut down this hate....
