Fanaticism
Today in Liberal American media we hear excuses for the murderous fanaticism of those indoctrinated into Islam . I find this disgusting. Rami Khouri, a Muslim media person related to the American University of Beirut, has been trotted out to be the rationalizer-in-chief on American public radio. Khouri maintains that individual freedom of speech must yield to what he call "respect", as recognized in Muslim culture. This is laughable in light of current events. Where is the "respect" in Muslim culture for a country which has recently supported the human rights of Muslims against tyranny in the Muslim world? It is not visible. It appears that the culture of devout Islam entails having things your own way or no way at all. This is the same narcissism of Roman Catholicism and Hasidic Judaism. It is fanaticism and should not be nurtured or tolerated in a secular nation's culture.
