I made my regular stop for coffee at the Senior Citizen Center yesterday and, as usual, got an earful of advice. But one comment really stung.
A lady who regularly gives me a hard time came prepared. She held a copy of The Des Moines Register in my face, her painted finger nail pointing at a picture and said, "You claim to represent me. Why are you letting this happen?"
Man, that hurt. It hurt because her criticism had a grain to truth to it. The picture was of workers pouring concrete for a new Muslim cemetery over in Iowa City. There are already two or three Mosques in Iowa with cemeteries. She asked, "Why do we need another one?"
For some reason these Mosques and cemeteries are allowed in all the larger cities in Iowa. Here in Freehold is Landover Baptist Church, the only legitimate religious institution in the State. We elected officials should stop the construction of Mosques and their cemeteries before they become wall to wall in Iowa.
