Here's some hard data on the lack of freedom in the Middle East, except Israel. I guess all those people (Elroy, tejek, Amy) who claim Muslims in the Middle East enjoy freedom and human rights must be smoking some of those funny cigarettes. news.bbc.co.uk INDEX OF POLITICAL FREEDOM Israel: 8.20 Lebanon: 6.55 Morocco: 5.20 Iraq: 5.05 Palestine: 5.05 Kuwait: 4.90 Tunisia: 4.60 Jordan: 4.45 Qatar: 4.45 Egypt: 4.30 Sudan: 4.30 Yemen: 4.30 Algeria: 4.15 Oman: 4.00 Bahrain: 3.85 Iran: 3.85 UAE: 3.70 Saudi Arabia: 2.80 Syria: 2.80 Libya: 2.05

Yes, our good old American pacifists sweep these articles exposing Islamic wacknuts under the rug. Don't want to admit that Islam isn't peaceful, now would we? That just wouldn't be nice. Yes, and its the good old right wing, the party of exclusion, looking for ways to vilify the Muslims. They have done it before.....the communist gooks in SE Asia were going to take over the world.........everyone knows the gooks aren't law abiding like Americans. Why they commit torture and everything. By turning Muslims into gooks, it was how Bush/Cheney got us into this war. Now they will pay the price for their mendacity and hubris. The truth is the right wing is the problem, not the rest of the world. And its not just in the US. You all can see an enemy in a room full of grandmothers.
