There is the post. And then there is "the immediatly preceding thought". "the immediatly preceding thought" was: "German leaders made a huge mistake by not speaking out strongly about this, right away." My response to that was: "Will some one please post statements from Muslim leaders condeming the murder of film director Theo van Gogh... shot 8 times, nearly decapitated, and left with two knives implanted in him?" --------- BTW: I do not disagree with the "immediately preceding thought".
