Respect for other faiths

Submitted by Rajeev (United States), Aug 22, 2010 at 23:35

Dear Dr Pipes: The people who are defending the construction of the mosque near the 9/11 site on the grounds that America should show respect for all faiths should also demand that Islamic countries should also stop persecution of other faiths. How many times we need to repeat this fact? When will the islamists understand that symmetry is a useful concept?
