Let's say Boykin was a Moslem. (or any other Religion)...Further, let's suppose that he had the identical background that Boykin has. Wouldn't most of us consider what has been done, as "hate mongering..." I think you're off target on that one. First of all, if the speaker were Muslim and, like Boykin, basically agreed with the enemy that this is a holy war, he'd probably be dead by now or at least tarred and feathered at the hands the very folks who are sticking up for him now, that is before the administration ever got a chance to send him to Guantanamo, which they would. To make the comparison less complicated, let's say he were not Muslim but Wiccan. Do you really think that anyone on this board who is sticking up for Boykin would be sticking up for him? Do you really think anyone here would consider the criticism of him "hate mongering?"
