MB--Why do you support these Islamic *******s? You've been reading the
wrong books. As a professor you need to do more research. You should study
the Koran. You know nothing about Islam. You are a fool. You are on the
wrong side. A trip to falugee would do you good.

I think it is important to be careful how you quote this. Yes, taken
out of context it seems that he is somehow racially biased. However,
the general problem as I understand it is that many folks believe the US
is somehow diminishing the equality of other races and that is how
protests and media coverage spin it. In the case of the quote above, he
was likely trying to answer directly to the concerns. Many think the
Americans hate Muslims and therefore hate middle easterners ergo darker
skinned people. Looks to me like he was merely saying that as a
majority white nation (and I mean that with respect to SKIN COLOR ONLY)
we *do* believe that other races are equally capable of governing
themselves. It is not a rhetorical statement. It is answering a
question in my opinion.
though i see what you're saying, Al, I am troubled by having a President
who is
quick to define the US as a "white nation." And the President's sentiments
seem
to be divergent with many posters in this newsgroup who suggest that
Muslims,
in general, are a group of people that cannot co-exist with the rest of
the
world.
