>>YES! GO DR.LAURA. A lady with the courage to tell it like it really is. And to approx. 12 MILLION listeners. We should send her a thank you card and ask her to never never apoligize for speaking the truth.<<

Lorne -

In my opinion, Dr. Laura is a crackpot. For one thing, I'd like to know why she assumes that a trip to a mosque to find out about how muslims are treated in this country would necessarily be about them being mistreated.

I believe muslims are treated reasonably well in this country for the most part, and I'd expect that one would hear exactly that if one were to visit a mosque.

Of course there have been a number of extremely nasty attacks on muslims (and even Sikhs, who have nothing to do with Islam, but happen to wear turbans) in the U.S. since 9/11. Were these attacks justified because the people who flew the planes were muslims? Of course not.

It is stupid and simplistic to attack all muslims as terrorists just because some of them are. It is stupid and simplistic to adopt this kind of "them or us" attitude.

Dr. Laura is full of crap on this issue, just as she was on the issue of homosexuality, when she quoted Leviticus.
