Time to laugh at the Americans

Submitted by Octavio (Italy), Dec 15, 2006 at 08:26

Americans are always making fun of Europe, and quite rightly so. We are too weak with our own Muslim communities. We allow European Muslims too much freedom, without asking anything back. Now, Americans have made a mistake, and I will not spare them. I guess, you can talk about "Freedom of Speech, For Those Who Can Afford it". Your own scared principles of freedom of speech, freedom of expression are available only to those who have got a rich bank account. Freedom of expression depends on the Financial Statement of a company, and we are about to close our Financial Statements on the 31st of December. CAIR has got a very rich Financial Statement, thanks to its Muslim supporters in the Arab world. Therefore, Muslim CAIR can afford more freedom of speech, more freedom of expression, than a lot of Christian/ Protestant groups who have less resources. I guess, some rich Muslim monarch, like King Fahad of Saudi Arabia, will have full freedom of speech and freedom of expression in America.
