(BLOG) Pearl: Islamic Leaders Justify Violence

"Slain reporter's dad says Ground Zero mosque would prolong 'illusion.'

In a Jerusalem Post op-ed article, Judea Pearl, father of the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel murdered by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan eight years ago, says that permitting the Ground Zero mosque project would prolong 'the illusion' that the American Muslim leadership can achieve public acceptance without confronting its role in allowing “victimhood, anger and entitlement” to spawn acts of terrorism.

In the article, which will appear in Sunday’s Post, Pearl notes that, in public, American Muslim spokespeople praise the US 'as the best country for Muslims to live and practice their faith. But in sermons, speeches, rallies, classrooms, conferences and books sold at those conferences, the narrative is often different.'"
