This is particulally offensive as the 16 year old girl was just executed over there for having sex and her boyfriend was given 100 lashes.
Khatani is very anti-American in his speeches in Europe.
Thank you.
I'm glad I'm an atheist.
I work within blocks of Harvard. Hmmm, wonder what I could do on 9-10 to show what I think about this?
Dialogue of Civilizations.
Their opening statement in the dialogue of civilizations was on September 11, 2001. They were so eager to have this dialogue; they certainly got our attention that day.
So now we need to do some "navel gazing" about what's happened with the dialogue over the past 5 years. Should be a very interesting seminar. Sorry I can't make it.
I live a couple of towns near you. I just want to show
up with a picture of the girl with a noose over her neck.
I have not yet calmed down from the SF driver yesterday.
"CAIR should be investigated and brought down."
Should be shouted from the rooftops in every village, town, burgh and city in America!
These Arabs should be rounded up and deported or held
in prisons as hostages, every now and then we could send their relatives an ear or leg.
CAIR and the ACLU should be investigated and brought down.
BARF !!!
Well, you should bring the picture, I'm sure that crowd will have some good explanation for that barbarism, uh, expression of religious tolerance.

Empower? With what? AK-47s....a few planes....
I know, but it's fun to dream......
Down with CAIR!
"CAIR and the ACLU should be investigated and brought down."
Should be doubly-shouted from the rooftops in every village, town, burgh and city in America!
