Political correctness and Islam
From PhiloWiki
Are Western countries being politically correct with regard to Islam?
[edit]
Yes
- "In his victory speech, Galloway accused Tony Blair of causing the murder of hundreds of American and British soldiers. In the meantime, by actively supporting Saddam Hussein's regime, Galloway should be accused of aiding and abetting in the mass murder of thousands of Iraqis at the hands of Saddam and his henchmen. Yet in Britain, the evil crimes of the Saddam regime are dismissed as irrelevant and as the internal affairs of a foreign country.
- Under the guise of 'political correctness,' Britain demands of their leaders to leave tyrants and dictators alone, which permits them to get on with their crimes and butchery.
- Over Iraq, 'politically incorrect' Blair was right and just in his decision to go to war against an evil dictator. 'Politically correct' Galloway is wrong. Indeed, by standing alongside Saddam Hussein and using the British parliament and media to keep him in power, Galloway's actions are criminal. Yet the Muslim voters of Bethnal Green have swept him into Parliament as their newly elected representative."
- "Washington -- Three people died Wednesday in a demonstration by American citizens angry over reports that Pakistanis burned an American flag and tore up a Bible in Islamabad. Chanting "Death to the Arab world!" and firing rifles into the air, the U.S. demonstrators ransacked the offices of the Pakistani consulate, overturning desks and setting papers on fire, and tried to storm the United Nations. A Pakistani security detail and District of Columbia police managed to contain the eruption, though not without casualties: Five persons were shot, three critically, and several dozen were taken to area hospitals with injuries, including two D.C. police officers who were wounded by rocks thrown by the demonstrators."
