Glad you decided to post, CL. As long as Charles allows it, you shouldn’t worry about anyone else. At least, that’s my philosophy LOL

I make very clear distinctions between how Islam is practiced in fear based societies and how it’s practiced in freedom based societies.

I do not like the Palestinian people. I quite loathe them, actually and I have little feeling for the 22 very wealthy Arab countries who do nothing to help them, even as they live as refugees in their own lands. That would solve the problem, if the Arab nations would reach out to their own brothers and sisters, but they have no desire.

However, when these people flee tyranny for freedom, it is up to us to extend our hands and I believe that very strongly.

You may remember the story last month in Miami and Fort Lauderdale where an Imam and his family were indicted for allegedly providing aid to the Pakistani Taliban. The case is pending, but the Imam ran a mosque in Margate (Broward County). Residents decided that the mosque should be closed and began to picket. It seems like the standard reaction when these things happen, run them out of town.

Who is running the Catholics out of town when a priest fondles a young boy? Who calls for the church closing? No one, actually.
