What kind of craziness is going on? Watch an intelligent and informed conversation about an incendiary topic.

Irshad Manji burns AlQur'aan AlKareem every public hour of her public life.

And She is correct in saying that 'it is political'

she gets a job at a university because she dresses and lives her life AGAINST AlIslaam---and she castigates President Hamid Karzai......please............... she represents NO one that Reads and Believes AlQur'aan and hillary, condiRice, susanRice politicians love her?

Robert:
Clearly, you know Professor Manji from previous experience.

I do not know anything about her background. I can't say anything about her religion. All I know about her is the observations she offered to Chris Matthews.

But I did find her comments to be reasonable and sensible.

jenFad had a Blog Subject about the extinction of the nativeAMerican.

they are Extinct because they stopped being Natives a long time ago, when the native decided to be reasonable and sensible in their comments.

of course they were helped by the alien diseases, alien beverages and alien belief of The Creator.

Ms. Manji wants to introduce alien diseases, alien beverages and alien belief of The Creator, FOR the one that is supplying the alien diseases, alien beverages and alien belief of The Creator.

AlIslaam and AlQur'aan are Native to the Family of Adaam(as); there exists a long History and Greatness in the Diverseness of the Monotheistic Tradition.

Pesonally, I could care less about Pastor Jones, he can burn down my house----but I assure you I might be homeless without a house, but not Traditionless or Retalitory.

Ms. Manji wants me not to be Retalitory and wants me not to maintain the Uniqueness of the Family of Adaam(as)---that I cannot do or Hamid Karzai or any Believer.

as always, my brother clark writes it better than I.

Thanks for the comments.

The main point of this Chris Matthews interview is that religious and ethnic hatred is not a good thing.

That point is important enough so that it needs to be said.

Anyone who spouts that kind of bigotry should be called out for it.

The norm in our country is to blame the victim for the 'crime' is it not...

I have yet to see anyone putting that fl. minister as the 'cause' of this and not the Quran/ 'terrorist'...

but, I am still waiting for someone to dEfine this minister as ( MENTALLY ILL) AS THIS IS aMERICA IS IT NOT?!? (NUP!!!)

I must thank Mattews for talking about this matter that should be on the lips of every American so this maybe will be taken more serious than another OH, oh, because oh, oh is always too late. (nup)

If and until we come to undeerstand / accept the civil rights era in the 60s was about forcing our government to enforce Brown v board of Education from the 50s...we will not be able tounderstand FREE SPEECH...

and how SPEECH TO CAUSE A RIOT / MAJOR PUBLIC DISTRABANCES WAS DEEM BY OUR SUPREME COURT AS NOT FREE SPEECH, GENERATIONS AGO...because te perod of between WW1 and WW2 is generationg ago when this kind of speech was deemed not free in America.

EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!!EDUCATE!!! (SMILE)

but, then we can not blame the average American for not knowing their true and actual American history that is until our country begins to obey our Constitution on SEPRATION OF CHURCH AND STATE...BUT WE SHALL GET THERE SOME DAY... AS WE CONTINUE TO SHARE DIFFERENT RESOURCES AS WE ARE DOING.(SMILE)

great post teaching moment, brother Cow. (smile)

ROBINSON IRMA Thursday, April 10th 2014 at 6:47PM

...AND, "I" shall continue to chant(pray) that the peoples of the middle-east don't begin to treat us as we treat them. (nup / smile)...

dispite my belief in treating others as we want to be treated...
