Islam’s authoritarian culture did not produce the geniuses who participated in the great freedom debates of 1776. All Americans, regardless of their faith or political persuasion, get to inherit the freedoms that are permitted because of our beloved First Amendment. Sadly, some Muslims apparently don’t get it.

As Marlette put it in a recent e-mail: “They have the know-how without the know-why.” They adopt only as much of American culture as suits their purposes — our freedom to protest, for example — without embracing what makes it possible.

These people should go back to Dar es Salaam.

The so called Ummah gets up off it's hind quarters and belches. Not a pretty sight.

Classic intimidation.

Learning from the agitprop techniques of the Left, this seems a textbook exerice in what Herbert Marcuse called "enforced tolerance"; restricting debate and culture to your POV by using the techniques of repression under a rubric of tolerance.
