I’s like to think so, but at times like this, I’d like to actually see some justice, not just have faith that the Man Upstairs will dispense it in his own particular way.

Big Guy upstairs is going to get really even with whomever did that.

Jewish writes, “I just can’t understand why they treat Jewish shrines like that..” Quite simply, it’s because we’re deemed “unbelievers”, unworthy of respect. Islam has a long history of disrespect toward the sacred sites of others, be they Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Budhist or Zoroastrian. In some cases, they rededicate them as Muslim sites, as in the cases of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and Hagia Sophia in Constantinople/Istanbul. More often, they simply destroy them.

It’s 10:17AM in NYC and so far you are right. The story has run only on the JTA.
