Ironic to me would be complaining about how they act over there and then wanting to be more like them.
And the Muslims who live in the states? The Muslims who died in the towers during 9-11? The Muslims who currently serve in the armed forces defending our country?
the irony is that free thinking societies allow people like that imam to talk about whatever he wants even if it is vile and totally bigoted and prejudiced against anybody who thinks differently. the irony is in places like pahkistan they still jail the man who led us to bin laden .... the irony is in saudi arabia you can be given a death sentence for being a homosexual ... the irony is france allows so called little blocked off societies within it's own boarders ,muslim neighborhoods who use sharia law on it' own people.
the irony is we let these facists say whatever they want and we fight for the freedom to protect the rights of people like that imam so he has the right to be as disrespectful and biggoted as he desires... much like the cartoonist that were slaughtered... it is very hard being on the side of righteousness.
i do not desire to eradicate a whole people based on religion .. i do want to eradicate all those who wish to do that to me ,you and us.
