I absolutely believe that Islamo-Fascism is a greater threat to our civil liberties than the War on Drugs. By a thousand times over. No, strike that. A million times over.
I don't do drugs. (Though I do sympathize with those who do, particularly marijuana smokers who SHOULD NOT be thrown in jail or even fined for their lifestyle choice.) But I do shop at Barnes & Nobles and Borders, ALL THE TIME. Well, guess what. Both chains just announced that they will not carry the May/June issue of Free Inquiry bowing down to Islamo- Fascist pressure, because the issue contains reprints of the Danish cartoons of the "Prophet Muhammed." Sorry, but B&N and Borders not carrying a particular magazine because it's "too controversial" has far more of an impact on my personal life than the War on Drugs. Sorry that you feel the fight against Islamo-Fascism is not as important an issue. Sorry that you feel that Islamic extremists murdering Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands is also not as important. --- In [email protected], "mark robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Eric, > > > > Then I was NOT preaching to the choir because you DO think > terrorism is a greater threat to our freedom than the drug war. > You are incorrect by huge magnitudes. > > > > What are your "Islamo-Fascists" doing to legalizers over there?
