When will we learn? Obviously, I know the answer: NEVER! or at least until it is too late. I was reminded of it when teaching about Neville Chamberlain and the Munich Agreement this AM.
The Muslim crowds are rioting demanding the British teacher be punished (executed?) for calling a Teddy Bear "Muhammad." She could have had public lashings, but "leniency" left her with only 15 days. Yeah, only 15 days. And the mobs demonstrated for greater punishment. Punishment for "Tickle Me Muhammad!?!?"
And then I read of a Saudi woman, gang-raped, who received 200 lashes for it. The Saudi government said it was "an outrage!" Not that she was gang-raped; not that she, the one who was raped, received 200 lashes. The "outrage" was the international (read "Western," since nobody else in the world believes in human rights--that's how Libya--Qaddify?--is on the UN Human Rights Commission) objections to the punishment of the victim.
Toss in the people still giving their business to La Shish and...
...Yep, I'm getting a headache.
