Hat tip to the Blaze
In this Fox News interview with Neil Cavuto, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg tries to justify why he is excluding clergy and first responders from Sunday's 9-11 ceremony. The article in the Blaze also describes the angry reactions from police.

Of course, the real reason Bloomberg is trying to keep any religious feature out of the ceremony is because he would have to deal with the question of whether to include or exclude any Muslim clerics. Thus, he avoids the issue altogether. As for police and fire-fighters who were involved that day, you find a way to include them. You don't shuffle them off to another room on another date. They have every reason to be outraged.
Maybe Bloomberg could give up his seat on the dais to a worthy first-responder.

He could have had a Catholic Priest, Protestant Minister, Imam, Rabbi and Buddhist Priest. That what was at the Memorial right after 9/11. Nobody complained, not even the atheists.
Bloomberg will not get another term as mayor. The city is fed up with him.
There is more than shame on Michael Bloomberg! He is a spineless jellyfish bowing to the far-left liberal ideological idol of hypocrisy.
Over three hundred firefighters sacrificed their lives to save others. There was room for them to stand and plan to save Americans, on the same spot the 9/11, 2011 memorial took place today. There was room then, but no room today. Shameful!

You forget, Findalis, that several dozen, if not a couple of hundred, of the dead on 9/11 were Muslims.
I said he should have had an Imam there too. You didn't read it very well:
He could have had a Catholic Priest, Protestant Minister, Imam, Rabbi and Buddhist Priest.
But remember that 19 of the Muslim dead were the hijackers.
You're right, you did include Imam. I missed that. I wasn't counting the hijackers. They weren't starting a normal work day inside the buildings, or on the police or fire department rosters, like all the other Muslims (and others) who died.
