Excerpt:
SOMEONE should tell The New York Times what happened on 9/11 - it ap parently has no clue. If it did, it never would've run that 4,500-word, front-page tearjerker Monday on Brooklyn's Khalil Gibran International Academy and its ex-principal, Debbie Almontaser.
What happened back then (as everyone but, it seems, the Times knows) is that Arab Islamists, disguised as harmless civilians, murdered 3,000 people and leveled the World Trade Center. In so doing, they awoke America to their war, which relies heavily on deception and targets unsuspecting, open-minded, tolerant Westerners. Gullible fools, that is.
Since then, Americans got wise. One response to the sneak attack: vigilance. If you see something, say something. Be careful whom you trust.
The Times sees no need for vigilance, as if 9/11 never happened. But caution underlies resistance to the city's first Arab-themed public school.
