I was deeply saddened as I read the articles written by Steven Maurice and David Kuhle for the September 30 issue of the Catholic Herald in response to a column by Fr. Peter Daly.

Islamic religious freedom not being suppressed: But building a mosque near ground zero is not appropriate
To the editor:
With all due respect to Fr. Peter Daly (Catholic Herald, September 16, 2010), the “religious freedom” argument being used against those who oppose the building of the mosque near ground zero is a platitude that increasingly rings hollow. His comparison of this issue to the bigotry against Catholics in the 19th century strikes me simply as a false parallel.
Islam is not a religion that can tolerate other religions
To the editor:
In Fr. Peter Daly’s article (Catholic Herald September 16, 2010) on the intolerance that some Americans have for Muslims, he describes his cordial relationship with his Imam neighbor who gave him a copy of the Koran. Father Daly urges Americans not to blame Muslims for the actions of terrorists associated with Islam, saying, “We are not at war with Islam; we are at war with terrorists.”
