http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/09/24...est=latestnews Criticism of Islam Is New Front in PC War, Media Expert Says By Joshua Rhett Miller Published September 24, 2010 FoxNews.com The mere act of criticizing Islam has become an act of politically incorrect hate speech, a media analyst and free-speech advocate says, citing several incidents in recent weeks where people have been lambasted publicly for their remarks. "We're living in a 'here and now' where no one's allowed to say anything bad about Islam, it seems," says Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center. The most recent transgressor, he says, is Marty Peretz, the editor-in-chief of The New Republic and a former Harvard professor, who has come under attack for a Sept. 4 blog post in which he wrote: "Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims," and questioned whether Muslims deserved protection from the First Amendment. |
Might be a good idea if those criticizing Islam knew something about it it, don't you think?

For the rest of the story:
Meanwhile, Ari Ravin-Havt, vice president of research and communications at Media Matters strongly disagreed with Gainor's assertion that "no one's allowed to say anything bad" about Islam. "If that were true, bigots like [blogger] Pam Geller would not be consistently given a platform on television to spew their hate, and Marty Peretz wouldn't be editor-in-chief of The New Republic," Ravin-Havt said. He said Peretz has the right to say "something incredibly offensive, inaccurate and wrong," by suggesting that Muslims are not entitled to the same constitutional protections as other Americans. "And other people have the right to tell you that what you said was wrong, and to assemble with others to collectively send that message," he continued. "Our freedom of speech is our most important right and it works two ways." Gainor also compared Peretz's case to that of Molly Norris, the Seattle-based cartoonist who has gone into hiding after declaring May 20 to be "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day!" and calling for people to draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. That led to death threats and the placement of Norris on an execution list by Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Gainor said the fact that Norris has reportedly gone into hiding to protect herself from reprisal attacks is another example of political correctness gone awry when it pertains to Islam. "The media is making it seem like Americans are the ones who are wrong and backwards," he said. "But it's the reaction that's wrong and backward." |

There are rules that don't like you copy and pasting articles, not unlike those same rules that are at AWE. No one likes a Copyright Copy and Paste whore kudzu, you're gonna get banned faster than those socks who posted hardcore ass to mouth pictures. |

Maybe if you learned the rules first before you copy and pasted copyrighted material you wouldn't do it. |

Well hell, Jews have been a sacred cow for decades now, might as well give the Muslims their turn. Only White Christians can be criticized in White Christian countries.

There was never a sacred cow where Jews are concerned. Just you try it sometime.
