Peter King may have ties to the IRA, but he believes that Muslim Americans should be investigated for failing to denounce terrorist organizations.

This last weekend, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held a rally to “Restore Sanity and/or Fear.” Closing remarks from Jon Stewart epitomized the rally stating, “There are terrorists, and racists, and Stalinists and theocrats, but those are titles that must be earned! You must have the resume! Not being able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Party-ers, or real bigots and Juan Williams or Rick Sanchez is an insult - not only to those people, but to the racists themselves, who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate. Just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe, not more.” According to CBS news, about 215,000 people showed up. We asked some of the elan readers to share their reactions

...Muslims should especially give gifts when they are appreciative of what someone has done for them. Knowing this fact, one University of Michigan graduate, took this idea a step further. In response to television host and comedian, Jon Stewart's, fairly consistent defense of Muslims and his commentary on the "Ground Zero Islamic center", Chris A.R. Blauvelt wanted to thank him in a big way.

Blauvelt started a Facebook event entitled, Send Jon Stewart an Eid Gift and shared his reasoning for the initiative: "He who does not thank people, does not thank God" ~Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. In thanks to and recognition of Jon Stewart's sane, honest and hilarious commentary on the ground zero mosque controversy and defense of Muslims against the growing tide of Islamophobia, we encourage everyone of all faiths and backgrounds to send him a gift on the Muslim holiday of Eid, this year on September 10, 2010. **NOTE: It's also the high Jewish Holidays, so please wish him a warm Shanah Tovah too!"

Jon Stewart returned from a long weekend last night to tackle the recent controversy over the building of a mosque at the World Trade Center site. Critics of the Islamic cultural center claim it would be built on hallowed ground, but it would actually be built several blocks away from Ground Zero on top of a former Burlington Coat Factory.
