Omar Khan: Stop ...

Why can't I criticize your religion? I can criticize any religion I want to criticize. This is a democracy. Muslim newspapers and television criticize and slander other religions all the time. Why is it, that when someone in the West criticizes Islam, they receive death-threats or are murdered? Could it be, that Islam and Democracy are, afterall, incompatible? Could it be, that you are a hypocriet? How dare you become so visceral and personal against someone who is simply stating an opinion? How many times have you made a derogatory comment against Jews? I would bet a million times, and it is this double standard that make you so.... It goes something like this: "Little Omar Khan comes into a room and hits his little sister in the head so hard that she falls over. After she gets up and collects herself, she boxes little Omar Khan's ears and he goes crying out of the room screaming that his big, bad little sister beat the crap out of him. (Even though little Omar obviously deserved it.). ... Really, man, get a grip. Gururaj was just stating an opinion.
