Save the indignation for something deserving of it

The man advocated the killing of Salman Rushdie, and gave money to Hammas - I am all for freedom of speech, but I am also for accountability for your actions.

It was completely valid to not let that sick zealot into our country.

  - So keeping a supporter of murder and terror out is persecution now? - ebnelson - 9/23/2004 9:15:17 PM
  - Do you even like America? - REB - 9/23/2004 9:13:26 PM

        I just don't hear that from Raoul - Art Martin - 9/23/2004 9:44:18 PM
        
        The reference was to Bowser - ebnelson - 9/23/2004 10:12:28 PM
        
        Not Raoul, Bowser. - REB - 9/23/2004 9:48:04 PM

    - Whatever, Raoul. You can't even acknowledge his real name. - ebnelson - 9/23/2004 9:13:34 PM
- He is not Cat Stevens, nor has he been for many years. Why would he revert back to a name he legally dropped? Perhaps because 'Yousef Islam' says a bit more than he wants us to think? - ebnelson - 9/23/2004 8:37:29 PM
