I was in NYC not too long ago and I had a chance to take a look at the new World Trade Center and 9/11 Memorial. The new tower awes and inspires; it serves as a monument to the American spirit.

What should have been a place meant to pause quiet contemplation was instead massed by throngs of tourists surging forward to get the best selfies and cell phone pics. What really disturbed me were the large groups of Muslim families, all smiles, proudly standing on the site of a perverted Islam's most nefarious deed while they took their family photos.
