Liberal Double Standards

Funny, I don't remember the United States government lecturing Martin Scorsese about not making The Last Temptation of Christ (not that it should have). Nor do I recall Precedent Obamao and the liberal establishment media lecturing the Moslem world on the Florida minister's absolute right to burn the Koran, especially as a political/religious statement. But I do remember something about our government financing Muslim Brotherhood front man Imam Rauf's trip to the Middle East. I also remember something about the liberal establishment's defense of flag burning and Nazi parades through Jewish neighborhoods. However, if anyone, anywhere does anything that might offend the hypersensitive, violent adherents of Islam, its a federal case.



Liberals are either too stupid or too dishonest to recognize that the special consideration that they bestow upon Islam is a flagrant violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

Update: Just when one figures that the hypocrisy can't get anymore rank, the federal government proves one wrong. I just came across this story from last year:

Military burns unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan

Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.

This event would have been an excellent opportunity to school the Afghan barbarians (apostasy is a capital crime in this tolerant land of Islam) on the meaning of freedom of religion, the press, and speech. Instead, the US military is helping to impose Sharia Law on a country that they are allegedly "freeing" and civilizing.

As usual with both Islam and liberalism some book burning is more equal than others.
