| #4 "They'd be bleeding in the street if it weren't for the First Amendment." No, Street sanitation is available in the US. |

| #3 If they don't like free speech then they shouldn't stay in America. Do they think that they would be allowed to spew their antisemitic antiAmerican bilge if Americans had the same reactions that muslims do to anything that offends them? They'd be bleeding in the street if it weren't for the First Amendment. |

| #2 I followed the link in the artilce above to The American Muslim website. There're you'll find a compilation of statements about Islam made by public figures dating back to Churchill. The authoress offers these statments as evidence of islamophobia. What I did not find was a compilation of statments made by muslims providing evidence of their vitriol toward the infidel. I guess I'll just have to rely on the complilation of statments set forth in the koran, ahadith, and sunnah. That should be sufficient. |

| #1 Once again, what they quote in outrage I quote in earnest. Besides, if it's the truth it ain't slander. 1899 Winston Churchill ““How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.” Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages248-50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899). |
