"Democracy go to Hell! Freedom go to Hell"



Source. A few comments:

Note the Imam: "We don't accept the few words that come from the likes of Barack Obama and others when they are occupying our land." So much for our President and his "reaching out" approach. The mentality of this Imam and those who think like him can be summed up as "us versus them". If the US military kills a Muslim terrorist what matters to them is that he is a Muslim, not that he is a murderer and a criminal. It would be like me protesting the jailing of a priest who committed a crime because he's Catholic. "Stop demonizing the Catholics!" Or a Jew claiming that Bernie Madoff's conviction demonstrates the depth of Antisemitism in the United States.

The next man in the video mentions how the United States attacked Iraq and Afghanistan with "nuclear bombs". I must have been in Canada when that happened. Did we drop nukes on those countries? Or is it just one of those things one might say that kind of feels good although inaccurate? Sometimes Accuracy has to take a back seat along with Objectivity and Reason. Truth and Decency are, at this point, locked in the trunk with ample amounts of duct tape on their skulls. I'm not sure they're still breathing.

How about the sign "Jesus will destroy the cross and follow the Qu'ran"? Somehow I think the reactions of Christians to this sign are different than would be that of these militants to a similar sign reading "Muhammad will renounce Jihad and follow the Bible."
