I don’t think it’s fair to label freepers as the knuckle draggers and mouth breathers.
The knuckle draggers are the muslims.
What most are saying here is that one cannot rely on their US citizenship, the UN, a “Progressive” philosophy, or status as a reporter for protection in the dangerous parts of the world.
There really are people and entire cultures with alternate values systems where different rules apply. It should not be a surprise to find that muslims operate by their own rulebook. It is foolish to enter their world and expect them to treat you by your rules. They don’t give a tinker’s dam about Title 9, women’s Lib or gender equality.
We have ample evidence that these people will do us harm at every opportunity. It is wise for us all to consider that. Even moreso if you are a blonde, American female travelling to a muslim stronghold.
You're sounding dangerously multicultural. Not all cultures are equal. Some are more equal than others. The Mooselimbs operate by a different rulebook, to be sure. An invalid and inferior rulebook!
