According to the Amherst Bulletin, representatives of local Muslim organizations will be joining the non-Muslims in the Amherst Commons to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 911 attacks, when Arab Palestinians from Egypt and Saudi Arabia introduced America to the Religion of Peace and the true meaning of “Al’lah is better than your gods.”
Since that time, other Egyptian and Saudi Palestinians have been welcomed into our community, and many showed their appreciation by reaching out to demonstrate the tolerance and respect that Islam gives to others in return.

Joan Lindeman’s Islamic Opportunities Network (ION)
The article mentions an ‘Interfaith Gathering’ but no mention is made of Joan Lindeman’s Interfaith ION group? Perhaps when Joan read the death threat from one of her supporters she realized that neither Dr. Hazratji nor the UMass poetry fans were quite what she’d thought they were.
Even last year, when UMass students celebrated the martyrdom of Sheik Osama bin Laden, local Arab Palestinian leaders and students showed their solidarity with America by brightening up their neighborhood with creative Islamic calligraphy on the STOP (THE JEWS) signs.
Original Story – 9/8/11 – Amherst Bulletin
The board has also adopted a resolution this year that recognizes Sept. 11 as a day of solemn commemoration to come together as a nation, to offer condolences to those who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks, to honor the service of first responders and law enforcement personnel and to appreciate those serving overseas and to keep America safe.
Three hours after the town ceremony, religious organizations are joining together to invite all faith communities and others for the “Memory, Healing and Hope: An Interfaith Gathering on the Tenth Anniversary of 9/11” on the Town Common.
This will include processions from the various churches, temple or other houses of worship – Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Quaker, Baha’i and Buddhist monks from the Leverett Peace Pagoda – beginning at 4 p.m.
The churches and Amherst College will also begin tolling their bells at that time.
After the solemn, silent walk around the common, participants will enter Grace Episcopal Church at 4:30 p.m. where the names of some of those who died will be read. There will also be readings from different faiths and prayers will be offered, followed by a litany of healing and hope.
WTF?! Celebrate 911?! Who’s the jackass that wrote that? You remember 911…if you celebrate you are happy and a radical muslim terrorist or Obama.
