My point was that it's a rather telling comment about this administration that they need to be specifically directed to comply with federal law. One would think that sort of thing went without saying.

By all means, let's not do anything that might harm their self esteem.

Keysor Soze was right.

Given that we ultimately need the good will of the “good Muslims” to win the struggle against the Islamists, it’s probably just as well to take that one out of the tool kit.

Uh, "good Muslims"? As if there is none?

I'm pretty sure these guidelines were all already required by US law...

Like Monte Python's Spanish Inquisition I guess we are down to using comfy chairs and soft pillows.

Yes, I wouldn't want to offend the religious sensibilities of a beheading jihadist.

However, if the whole Muslim world wants to offend Jews, Christians, and Hindus, it is hunky dory.

I know, tell the Buddhists getting slaughtered in Thailand to quit pissing off the terrorists. Those school girls deserve it for attending school. Don't they realize they are infidel dogs?

I no longer care what Muslims think until they anti up and cleanse their own religion.
