We are NOT the world's police.
I suppose this is a good reason why the women are so intent on being involved in the demonstrations currently in the Middle East.
God help them.
The "fear mongering" that exists within the states are due to the Regressive Right Wing and have no measure i constitutional law. It is politicking to INFLUENCE the elections where ballot provisions regarding outlawing Sharia Law from any government 'rule of law' is taking place.
It is a dangerous trend. It could lead to oppression of cultural practices within the Muslim faith, which could be extrapolitated to a 'right to control' religious practice of any faith.
Burning of any religious symbol that defines a religion, regardless of a Bible, Koran or otherwise should be viewed as an expression of a 'hate crime.'
I realize burning a flag is sometimes exampled as a reason why burning a Koran is nothing more than an expression of freedom of speech, however, the American flag is backed up by a miliitary and national guard and a constitution while Muslims are human beings with the ability to die without notice due to hatred of others.
Burning a religious symbol in a country where the practice of freedom of religion is a freedom the entire can enjoy or not; should be seriously viewed as a "Hate Crime." There are real people, including young people and children that can fall victim to these bigots and it needs to stop.
Religion is a 'core belief' of a person and should never be met with an expression of hate, so much as tolerarnce from others.
This mess of turning religion into a 'choice' for victimization is actually choosing whether or not human beings can be a victim as well. When will people learn the lessons of the Holocaust? The 'idea' that a civilied society could never turn into a land of hatred and victimization is a sincere myth. Diveristy is more than a 'word' it is recognition of tolerance and tolerance is not an 'exercise' but a method of civil discourse.
I find these videos very offensive, presented in a way to control and victimize and not empower. Very sad. Very, very sad.
One other thing:
This not only validates hate by the Right Wing, but, also raises the question as to why they are so intent on controlling other faiths besides Christianity and demanding Charter Schools replace public schools?
