I Sincerely Wish that I Had Written this
"......that the values of Islam trump anyone else's - which is what any follower of Islam does assume, just as any follower of any religion believes that theirs is the sole way, truth and light. If people wish to love a 7th century preacher more than their own families, that's up to them, but nobody else is obliged to take it seriously......If any of you clowns are right about anything, the cartoonists are going to hell anyway - won't that do? In the meantime, if you want to get excited about affronts to Muslims, read the Amnesty International reports on Syria and Saudi Arabia."............British journalist, Andrew Mueller 2006, in response to the outlandish reaction by Islamic extremists to those Danish cartoons that supposedly portrayed the prophet, Muhammad, in an unfavorable light.

Even on the Palestinian issue.... Israel gives Palestinians in its borders much more rights than they get in ALL of their neighbors.
In fact, in the neighboring countries (Lebanon, etc), native born people of Palestinian ancestry are denied citizenship and other rights, simply due to the fact of Palestinian ancestry. These people can also be murdered with the approval of the government if they make decisions of conscience such as changing religion.
Of courser, Palestinians in Israel are full citizens.
I remember how King Hussein put a major hurtin' on 'em, too.

That's an extremely brave young woman, Les. Hopefully she doesn't wind up getting stoned to death any time soon.
