I certainly agree that no religion should be above free criticism. But it is ironic that we are having this debate over Islamic issues, when for the past 50 years, there has been a major effort to stifle debate on all other questions of racial, ethnic, class or religious differences.

(Indeed, even while people encourage tasteless attacks on Islamic targets, it has become almost taboo for people who look to the Bible for spiritual truth & inspiration, to even express a Biblically based opinion on the subject of marriage, or the rights of religious Americans to decide not to associate with those who mock their religious beliefs. There are a whole host of organizations that make it a point to stifle free inquiry into problems arising from all sorts of causes, where race, ethnicity, class or religion is involved.)

Personally, I agree with Thomas Jefferson, that all tyranny over the mind of man should be resisted.

Those demanding that Americans self-silence on the subject of Muslims, Mohammed, & Islam.....I call them “SHARIAPPEASERS”.

El Rushbo said today that following 9-11-2001 everyone was saying if you fear doing this thing or that thing, “then the terrorists have won!”

Why don’t we hear that expression lately?
