Going For Controversy Again

The United American Committee (UAC) is at it once again. This time, with an event tomorrow in front of the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City. They will hold a mock hanging of Osama bin Laden giving the "attendees an opportunity to throw old shoes at the effigy. The hitting or throwing of shoes at a person or object is one of the greatest insults within the Islamic world."

According to the UAC, the Culver City mosque was a frequent visit for two 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al Hazmi, and Khalid al Mihdhar. In addition, they claim Sgt. Akbar, the soldier who threw a grenade at fellow GIs, "was produced" at this mosque.
