The Anti-Defamation League says that it "fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all," but let's face it, it's just an arm of Israel's conservative Likud party trying to influence U.S. politics, and if their aims require bigotry, then they're all for bigotry.
The Likud is anti-American because it does not support our ideals of religious freedom, free speech, and free association. They are a pernicious influence on our policy debates. They want to turn us into them: a nation that discriminates against and ghettoizes Muslims, and as a result, is in a permanent state of war.
BTW, the "Ground Zero Mosque" is actually not "at" Ground Zero, it's several blocks away around a corner. You can't see it from Ground Zero; and you can't see Ground Zero from the site of the mosque -- which is not really a mosque but a cultural center where people can pray if they want to. If we give in to the ADL and those who argue for discriminating against Muslims, then bin Laden has won. He will have un-made America.
