I am not philosophically opposed to vigilantism. But this is dangerous talk... you know that, don't you?
It's just that people like the Iman feel free to spout off and say any incindiary thing they want to without fear of consequence. They operate below the bounds of society with its rules and regulations. They feel free to threaten without fear of being threatened.
Peaceful, official Western society has its official ways to deal with people like the Iman, but then there's the rest of us...the people who actually take the hits, are blown up by car bombs, truck bombs, etc. We are the ones who are being threatened and since we end up being the victims of these threats, sometimes I think it's best to remind the good Iman who he's messing with.
We are the majority and we really don't have to put up with crap like that.
johnb838,
I know what you mean, but...we are at war. Most of us just do not realize it. Compare it to the 1930's in Europe...all along the facists were saying just what they meant, and the free world refused to listen.
This guy is not even nearly as subtle. I agree that for what he is doing, he crosses the line of free speech into treason, at least for our country, in my opinion.
On the other hand, some say he can say that he wants us to be killed by his followers. In that case, we should be free to say black helicopters should be dropping black-clad men in to pay him a visit some night to spirit him away and find out who he is hanging around with.
It's more dangerous when good people do nothing.
