re: #598 iossarian

Not sure about the second half of that statement - I mean, whatever the rights or wrongs of the IP debate, I don’t see how it affects Muslims (or at least, those of Middle Eastern origin) in the US any less than it affects any other US citizens.

This is not to say that their position is the right one, only that they can justifiably claim to be “affected” by the political situation there, in that they feel an attachment to the region.

Well, sure, but when we’re talking about the org that basically tackles human rights issues inside the US, why does it have to have any POV in I-P?
