The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm not making excuses. I'm saying it is a reality, especially in the Muslim world. They are taught to hate America (something of a generalization, but the Wahabi madrassas funded by the Saudis all over the globe teach it). Are you saying we should prohibit these chants? That's a very dangerous line to cross.

The Muslin rally was held in Dearborn Michigan, America, the USA, not some far off Muslim country. One would think these Muslims are Americans now and adopted the ‘American way’ not chanting death to America and to Israel. I thought in America this was once considered a Hate Crime.

Like abortion protests. As long as they picket peacefully, I have no problem with them. I think they're wrong on so many levels, but it's their right to protest. When they intimidate women going into clinics, or shoot doctors, that's another matter.

OH, what about the Muslim marches and demostrations?

Hundreds arrested after Pro-Palestinian demonstrators flood Cannon Rotunda, Capitol complex.

The detained protesters were lined up outside the building and shuttled to a temporary holding area in the Capitol complex. Capitol Police say demonstrators inside the Cannon Rotunda will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House Office Building.

They say among the arrests, three people were charged with assault on a police officer during processing.”

Why were they not put on trial and given jail time? Instead they were let out with a slap on the hand, not to mention the damage they caused.
And what about the Jewish Collage students who now have to hide on campus in fear for their lives?

Your sympathies are a bit screwed up.
