Because you wanted to see it....my cover story for today's Daily News on "Islamophobia" around the country (bad) and in Philadelphia (not as bad).

    I put my faith in the people . But the people let me down. So I turned the other way and I carry on, anyhow.

    I was just in Paris last month. The problem with Paris isn't the Muslims, it's the French. If it wasn't for Italy, France would be the laughing stock of Europe. The only thing France has going for it is they don't have state troopers on the highways.

    >>>former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who has used crude comparisons with Nazi Germany and Pearl Harbor, and Alaska's Sarah Palin, who on her Twitter feed begged "peaceful Muslims"<<< there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the cream of the Republican party!

    "I hear Muslims are being rounded up in camps in flyover country." . . . . . . . Patience, cheese bag. We need to repeal a few Amendments first.

    Yes, to Coulter, giving anyone simple respect is backward. She's a pig.

    For liberals, the time around 9/11 is now a time for remembering the suffering of Muslims. I'm actually shocked that the DN didn't run this story on 9/11. I mean, why not go all the way?

    Islam is the same as any other religion. Honest. Fox News: "TEHRAN, Iran — The lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to be stoned on an adultery conviction said Monday that he and her children are worried the delayed execution could be carried out soon with the end of a moratorium on death sentences for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan."

    I stand corrected Hamlet, I let fly with crazy accusations against Islam, but read further and found out the stoning was actually postponed during Ramadan. My apologies.

    I was talking about your offensive comment about liberals and 9/11. That date does not belong to right-wingers, and religious tolerance is an American, not just a liberal, value. I love it when people wrap themselves in the flag and then show they know nothing of what that symbol stands for.

    ///That date does not belong to right-wingers, and religious tolerance is an American, not just a liberal, value//// Like Aug 28 does not belong to left wingers, and honor and justice is an American, not just a liberal, value. Yet you have a problem with Beck's rally. Interesting.
