It has so many elements: the parallels with the Ground Zero mosque; the tacit acknowledgment by liberals and establishment press that Islam is dangerous and not a religion of peace; that widespread Koran burnings did not lead to WTC '93, Kobahr towers, African embassies, USS Cole, 9/11, etc.; and, of course, responsibility for another's actions.<br /><br />It is this last element that the media is ignoring. The pastor is not advocating for others to commit acts or to rise up or anything of that nature, yet that is exactly what Al Gore recently did. If the pastor is to be blamed and held accountable for reactions of others on the other side of the world, then the media needs to demand Al Gore's arrest and hold him accountable for the recent attack at the Discovery Channel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187612000983657834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-58528251094288911452010-09-10T07:51:02.517-04:002010-09-10T07:51:02.517-04:00In Tony Blair's introduction to his biography ...In Tony Blair's introduction to his biography he talks about the US. He says how the world is never going to like us because we are leaders, but that the world at the same time gets angry with us when we don't lead. The problem with Obama's foreign policy is that he doesn't understand that to be a leader means you are not necessarily liked by those that resent your leadership but that it is our job to stand up and be counted. Taking responsibility and leading is just something he has no idea how to do. <br /><br />It is time someone in that administration stood up and lead the world in condemning threats and violence of extremists and the threats being espoused now by that Mosque 51 huckster. But that would take a backbone and strength of character that neither Obama nor Clinton possess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-52204391100585020432010-09-10T07:28:57.392-04:002010-09-10T07:28:57.392-04:00Regarding the pastor...

Even the President says so.<br /><br />I have always been taught that those who are quick to offend are typically hiding some deep insecurity. That's what I heard from many on the left when Catholics took exception to some of Dan Brown's fictional flourishes. Yet he remains free and unscathed. Jews are often on the receiving end of horribly offensive opinions...yet they manage. Even most Southern Baptists can take a good jab with humor (my boss being a prime example).<br /><br />So yes, we are being held hostage by a deadly religious intolerance. At least now it will be easier to point it out for what it is...using the left's own words.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969165050852281666noreply@blogger.com
