On Sunday . . . scores of masked mujahedeen, shouting "Allahu Akbar," or "God is Great," paraded four men stripped down to their underpants atop the back of a pickup truck that drove through the city. Their bare backs were bleeding from 80 lashes they had received as punishment for selling alcohol.
Does anyone else see the irony in this? The USA is savaged worldwide for "atrocities" and "torture" and "humiliations," yet arguably far worse behavior is perpetrated by the very Muslims who condemned the USA. And, of course, the world ignores what the Muslims do.

To complete my thought, can you imagine the worldwide reaction of horror and outrage if the USA had paraded terrorists down the street in their underpants and flogged them till they were bleeding? Yet the world yawns when the Muslims do that to men who've just been selling booze.

Yes.
It would be blasted on the front pages and across every network news program--if it would help the Dems. Since it won't help them, it won't get shown, except for some mention on FoxNews, maybe.

That's because they're *expected* to be savages, and we're *expected* to be civilized. Talk about racist, hm?
