Muslims Banning 9/11 Memorial Because Its Racist The September 11 Memorial at Ground Zero has become a place for Americans and tourists from all over the world to learn about the tragic event that took the lives of many Americans over a decade ago. Now a historical landmark, the memorial offers a complementary brochure in 10 different languages. Arabic, however, is not one of them. According to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, thats a problem. The group sent angry letters to the creators of the memorials, stating that it was unacceptable that the worlds fourth most spoke language was not being offered. Our fear is that there is a political intention behind the exclusion, claimed Raed Jarrar, director of the ADC. The overseers of the memorial contested the accusation, claiming that there are simply not enough Arabic speakers who visit the memorial. They also told the group that 87% of their visitors speak at least one of the following languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian, Japanese and Russian. What do you think? Should the memorial have to include Arabic, or is their reasoning justified?
