Was she a Lesbian for Bush??

We'll see more of this. The Muzzies hate feminism, homosexuality, atheism, and general promiscuity -- all deeply-held tenets of the Leftist Faith.

Whew, the New York Times editorial board is going to be in a quandary about this story. Should they spin it as an ugly American attacking islamic values ('the enemy of my enemy is my friend' principle)? Or should they spin it as a 'transgendered' individual being offended and then attacked by street toughs of indeterminate ideology (the 'gay is good, no matter what' principle)?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

At one point in the exchange, she told the dozen or so bearded young men who make up the group that the prophet Muhammad was a pedophile.

But the rise of gay bashing on European streets has pushed the question of tolerance a step further and led some to question their reflexive defense of a put-upon minority.

The elephant in the room's a bit too big to ignore.

The Islamic Thinkers Society

Anyone else find this group's name an oxymoron?

Here are some of the placards which upset Ms. Withers. I hope this settles the question of who are the good guys and who are the bad guys here. Screw nuance:

These images come from an interview with Withers you can read here

This isn't Bizzaro World, folks, it's the Real Rorld. The far left has shown its true stripes by allying itself with bigoted, homophobic, religious fanatics who share their goal of destroying America, capitalism, and all of Western Civilization. I know whose side I am on, and I hope Ms. Withers gets more support from my fellow FReepers

Haven't read the article yet and have just wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out what the title means.

It's like an endangered bird eating an endangered fish.

Gosh, doesn't sound like she is celebrating "Diversity" to me.

Western liberals have tended to cut Muslim groups slack on their ideological pronouncements, in part out of sympathy with some of their causes—the insurgencies in Chechnya and the Middle East, for example—and in part out of a sense that anti-Muslim sentiment in the West is a more pressing problem than anything Muslims themselves might do.

This is a great sentence. It's sadly true.
