Theocracy- SouthEast Asia
I never said anything about a theocracy. By the way, I do know the difference between Southeast Asia and the present day problem that is going on in the Middle East. Anyone can turn on the idiot box and see the difference there.
As far as how safe it is to criticize America, I have never heard of anyone being rousted out of there beds in the middle of the night here for reading western literature. ( A popular practice under Ayatollah Khomeni ) as well as punishment for wearing make up .
My self, whether or not main stream America is tolerant of the gay community is not the issue, the issue is that we in this country have rights and laws that protect the rights of ANYONE who is a victim of crime. The gay community being only one example of a community as a case in point.
By the way, the code of what was called chivalry in the Middle Ages was first thought to be the product of the Muslim leaders during the battles for Jerusalem during the early 1000's. The idea of treating prisoners of war fairly, giving sustenance to captured villagers etc. etc. was previously unheard of up to that point.
I had heard of the work of the CAIR and did not find it to be all that outspoken. While your opinions may vary differently from mine DO NOT tell me that I have not been paying attention .
