In short, she's everything the extremists hate.

I don't think she has an agenda, Lilo. I just think it hits her closer to home than it hits some other people.

Are you seriously comparing a "brouhaha in Hamtramck" to the events of 9/11 in New York City? Because life didn't "go on" for 3,000 plus New Yorkers on that awful Tuesday morning. They weren't given the choice of a "rough compromise."
