Answer to Ghulum and he lives in India?
Reader comment on item: No Islamic Law in Minnesota, for Now
in response to reader comment: Can the airport taxi man be deported for registering their objections to some traffic regulations.
Submitted by Cher (United States), Feb 19, 2008 at 09:56
So what is wrong with an American making a statement...here in our own country. You live in India...when do your words matter here. You stated this (By bringing in the topic of deportation, Bob has overtly extended a threat that is unwarranted and smacks of illogical and irrational hatred for Islam, Muslims and Sharia).
When does Bob's "freedom of speech" become a threat. I see nothing wrong with Bob's statement. I agree with Bob!
I know I am answering ..from a 2006 comment, but I want to put my two cents worth in. I am sure thats all its worth to some :)
