Ignorance is alive and well in america. None of these people have ever known anyone outside their race and thus said:
And finally, name any Muslim countries throughout the world that allow
freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, freedom of
the press, equal rights for anyone -- let alone everyone, equal status
or any status for women, or that have been productive in one single way that contributes to the good of the world.[/i]
You just talked about profiling and doesnt that take away the rights of individuals according to the high courts and judicial reviews. Yet, you talk about freedom. Hypocricy through Democracy.
Pookie,
Some shiek guy? You kill American soldiers lives?
Where are you from? Are you trying to use the system of liberty to deflect the fact that you're racially profiled? Are you playing this "Sikh, Muslim, Sunni/Shi'ite, etc." trivia game because you, in fact, look exactly like my enemy?
Well, okay then. I'll ask the mods for a sticky to set up a fund for you to go to Beirut, Kandahar, Tikrit, and any other catbox of a dump with a couple extra bucks for you to stay... forever.
All you have to do is shed this tiresome burden of being persecuted here in America, this atrocious job, these backwater Bible-thumpers that just don't understand what a human's rights are, Starbucks, Super Tuesday, cable television, running water, and toilets that flush. Oh! You get more sand, less tolerance for your Westernization, decent food becomes a special and exciting new challenge, a few folks watching your every move kindly called "morality police," a rather shakier economy, weather that goes from blistering sun to raining cluster bombs...
Get the F outta here.
The Quran, or Q'ran, or Kooorayann (I'm Texan)- who give's a wet slap? Why not the Bhagavad Gita? Why not the Book of The Dead? Or the Principia Mathematica? Or even tastier books by Chomsky, Russel, Einstein, Gould, Proust... the list goes on. Jesus is a prophet in Islam, too... We're all the same danmed religion, rooted in Abraham's covenant with a Creator. Now go kill yourselves! YAY!
How ignorant is that, to slam the country that brings you more opportunity than any other on earth, yet you force yourself into the myopic, dimwit view of another arbitrary viewpoint?
Get outta here. You're exploiting the system to illicit sympathy in the shadow of a world that just doesn't like you. It sickens us, it ignores the demise of innocent US Citizens on US soil, it deflects the focus from the issue at hand to a smoke-screen of litigant claptrap and bleeding heart nonsense, and most of all,
IT OFFENDS US, WE THE MAJORITY, BECAUSE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS IS CAPABLE OF MAINTAINING A PRESENCE HERE LEGALLY AND THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN.
