the situation in Egypt

[VINYLONE]

Is that Muslim chick still in possession of her ****? Does she wear a burka?

I think this statement alone says everything about your knowledge on the Muslim faith.

Freedom from/to do what?

The root meaning of freedom relates to both a collective/societal right as well as in post-American Revolution times, for a few years anyway, a number of individual inate/God-given/natural rights. A Christian nation overcome by a Muslim jihad will result in a sense of loss of freedom to those who still feel fondly for religious freedom or for their former society. You are right that a lot of our treasured individual rights would be gone as well. The American doctrine of personal rights/liberties would support the right of an individual woman or her parents to refuse some mutilation type practices. That these mutilations are done to children who have no say in it is an incredible offense to all concepts of individual rights, and there should be no "favorable press" supporting or even ignoring it, regardless of any religious basis. I think it applies to Jews as well in regard to males.

A lot of Christians don't really get it, but the American Revolution was a radical departure from the ideas of post-Constantine Christianity. I think a step in the right direction.

Why? I asked you a question about the particular Muslim you know. You act like the 4 Muslims you know represent all Muslims. Are Muslims all alike or are they diverse in their practice? You can't have it both ways.

I can't say I'm surprised at your cut and run, just disappointed.

I don't get why anyone is applauding these people who treat women like shiat. The only reason their riots even matter is because they control the Suez.

Ann is right on the money with this one, as usual:


DEMOCRATS: EMBOLDENING AMERICA'S ENEMIES AND TERRIFYING HER ALLIES SINCE 1976

Absolutely. If you applaud a grass-roots revolution by a populace that resulted in a (for the most part) non-violent overthrow of a repressive regime via protest you should also support the invasion of a country based on faulty intelligence which cost about a trillion dollars, resulted in the death or maiming of tens of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens.

Clearly one in the same.

Oh I see. Dictators are only bad if all you have to do is "applaud" from the sidelines.

What are Jersey Shore cast members doing in Egypt?

Would you care to explain what I'm meant to understand by watching that video? I see him standing there with an American flag jacket, obviously not trying to hide his identity. If the translation is accurate (I don't speak Mandarin) the guy with the camera starts trying to provoke him and telling the crowd that he's the U.S. Ambassador, and Huntsman walks away. I haven't read up on this, so I'm not sure what the controversy is. What did he do wrong?
