RE: Hirshi

salam, talib,

to be honest, i did not feel sad that the darned imam was deported from 
france. i felt bad that all whacked religious nuts were not. that is what 
bothers me, that there is a rather discrimination launched between whackos.

i know of orthodox rabbis in america who teach horrible things about women, 
gays, non-jews, etc. i also know of right wing christians who do about the 
same. and their likes are all over the place, and most certainly in france. 
but nobody deports them.
