1. To morally equate other wrongs committed by America in the past to those actions by Muslim terrorists today. This makes all guilty-feeling, self-loathing liberals feel happy.
2. It attempts to diminish the reaction of the visitors by distracting them from the horrific event of 9/11 by introducing with other images. People are much less likely to leave with a renewed vigor against those that caused the atrocities.
Planned exhibits include Abu Grahib, Nazi Holocoust, and lynchings in the 20s. See more here
...The World Trade Center Memorial Cultural Complex will be an imposing edifice wedged in the place where the Twin Towers once stood. It will serve as the primary "gateway" to the underground area where the names of the lost are chiseled into concrete. The organizers of its principal tenant, the International Freedom Center (IFC), have stated that they intend to take us on "a journey through the history of freedom"--.... The public will have come to see 9/11 but will be given a high-tech, multimedia tutorial about man's inhumanity to man, from Native American genocide to the lynchings and cross-burnings of the Jim Crow South, from the Third Reich's Final Solution to the Soviet gulags and beyond. This is a history all should know and learn, but dispensing it over the ashes of Ground Zero is like creating a Museum of
Tolerance over the sunken graves of the USS Arizona.... WSJ
