Do More than Click Like - Say Something!

To build the mosque or not to build? To burn the Koran or not to burn? Fly you flag on the profile. Click like if you agree... Are all these type of apps on Facebook an absurd way of getting out of our civic duty? If we fly the "No Mosque Flag" on our profile does that remove our need to write the Mayor Bloomberg and complain vehemently?

Facebook is great for keeping in touch with friends but we cannot let this stop us from actually raising our voice or writing our letters. As Oklahoman who suffered an attack, we should voice loudly that allowing an Islamic Monument to their victory is not right!

We now live in a global world with news from every corner of the world. Do you sit by and accept what is happening without so much as a shame on you?

Here is link to New York City's Mayor Bloomberg email. No he will not care, yes you will have done something proactive and it's time to start saying "NO" to insane and cruel ideas. More than 3,000 families lost precious members of their families and will have to walk past the Victory Monument to pay their respects? No, that is not right.

Yes, law is on the side of the mosque but human decency is on the side of the families. This is not an Islamaphobic idea either, it is just plain insensitive to the families.

Enough for now...
