Jason Levesque Comments on the Construction of a Mosque by Ground Zero

Jason Levesque: An example of when political correctness overcomes the hearts of Americans

Auburn, Me – In recent days, the controversy over the Mosque being built in the shadow of Ground Zero in New York City has exploded into a national discussion.  Jason Levesque released the following comments on the issue:

“September 11, 2001 was a day when thousands of our fellow citizens lost their lives and millions of hearts were terrorized and broken. Today, we are faced with a challenge in our nation where we celebrate religious freedom, yet mourn for our fallen.  I have struggled over this discussion in the past weeks because I believe that people have the right to practice unfettered religious freedom. I also believe we have the right to honor our fallen and ask for the respect and sensitivity to do so.  This is not a matter of whether this Mosque can legally be built in the shadow of Ground Zero; it is a matter of whether it should be.  The constructors of it say it’s a place for healing.  Healing for whom? This is disingenuous and very troubling.    This Mosque should not be built in this location and political correctness should not take precedent over the hearts of Americans.

“Again, we as Americans are uniting around the solemn place where our Twin Towers once stood.  We are uniting around a common belief of respect and of honor.  We need to speak loudly, all of us, against what one can only interpret as a deliberate affront to our sensitivities.  Those in elected offices or public positions who are siding with the Mosque’s construction are putting political correctness over the hearts of Americans.”
