If they attack the American Embassy, maybe we will finally be able to take action. Fox News saying Pakistanis ran at the American Embassy before being shot. American Diplomacy works the best...

I was talking about this yesterday, Flag burning doesnt anger anyone else like it does Americans, we hold our flag in much higher esteem than most nations, for example, europeans are shocked at how much the flag is displayed on Private property.

I'm on Car Burning watch, France will explode any minute, Le Monde has published the cartoon I believe.

Gee, I wonder if their threats to behead cartoonists and to effect anothr 9-11 type attack could be construed as hate speech.

"What are they waiting for? A major crime (before) they take action?" he asked.

This has become the modern mentality -- actually having committed a crime is considered a "technicality." It's not only used for PC issues like this, but for dealing with "sex offenders,", etc.

"The suspect would have been on public property when the sign was placed and did not cross onto (the mosque's) property as far as we can tell. It's currently under investigation to determine whether it should be classified as a hate crime,"

LOL! I would love to see this prosecuted.

2 things here that they can not touch, they would go to court and the koran could be used against islam to show how islam is the enemy and the sign was truthful and secondly we either have freedom of speech or we do not.... when the kkk marches and hold up nasty hateful signs they are not thrown in jail for those signs because no crime was committed, now if the guy had firebombed the mosque and left his sign then it would have been a hate crime.

If Freepers only knew that "Saddiqi" is a generic Arabic word for "moonshine" (as in moonshine whiskey), and means "crazy"...

Hate crime, my a**.

It might not be polite, but it's still free speech.

Next to the mosque a sign
With stated message not too sublime
You are the enemy
But hey, we have empathy
So maybe it’s not a hate crime

[Bigh4u2]

Yes they did.

Last thursday.

MAybe we should be handing out Bibles in front of the Mosques? (on public territory).

Post signs with verses from the New testament?

I challenge them to attack me as committing a hate crime. I would be committing an act of love. Their souls are already doomed to hell and I would be fulfilling my religious duties to help them find Christ.

[TheForceOfOne]

On the ground it is a hate crime, once they pick it up it becomes propaganda, set it back down and it becomes a hate crime again. See how that works.

[Bigh4u2]

Oh stop!

Now you're just being 'insensitive'! /sarc

[MeanWestTexan]

Yeah really.

If it was Mohammed, he'd either be burning in Hell if depicted now or, if depicted while alive, he'd be killing innocent people or raping little girls.

A bearded guy could be anyone.

[BenLurkin]

That is a likely candidate.

[Post Toasties]

The large plywood sign, written in black crayon, labeled Muslims as the enemy and included a bearded character representing the Prophet founder of Islam, Muhammad.

[trebb]

Now you're just being 'insensitive'! /sarc

As JJ would say: IN-Sens-I-TIVE!

[gridlock]

Muslims around the world can rape and pillage willy-nilly, but leaving a sign near a mosque is a "hate crime".

We are truly through the looking glass, here.

When ever I hear of the latest "outrage" I think "yadayada, yeah whatever."

[MizSterious]

I'm outraged by the overuse of the word "outrage."

;)

[HHKrepublican_2]

But this isnt a hate crime??
Thats not Islamabad, Its LONDON.
