calling the kettle black.
Reader comment on item: CAIR Distributes 100,000 Korans; Overtly Proselytizes

Submitted by matt jones (United States), Jul 2, 2009 at 01:34

i found this link through a website, concerned women for America which describes it's mission statement as bringing Biblical principles to legislative affairs. quite frankly comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges, but it offers insight in to the perceptions of culture shifts and when enough is enough. when introducing the qu'ran to others especially during times of fear and suspicion towards followers of islam, it can be construded as simply attempting to develop good press.

however as many will use this article as a call to action defending western society from islamic influence i intend to make the argument that only religiously motivatated assualts on actual changes in the legislation of this country and any other must not be tolerated, and those merely attempting to express interests in expanding knowledge of their beliefs should not be used as scapegoats. furthermore those issues dealing with shari'a based law and courts again find their defects great, people are free to decide what services they may wish to use, and only when they make choices not to participate in such practices can they find protection in tolerating societies.
