Sorry, but I do not think that wanton murder, terrorism, kangaroo courts and sham trials, subjugation of women and female genital mutilation constitute "values." Perhaps we ought to consider shutting down those that think that the foregoing constitute "values." Islam is hell-bent on dragging the world back to the seventh century. They can go if they wish. But they will not take me. What a thoroughly disgusting, gutter cult!

Doesn't he know that the question of the Prophet's successor is the most important issue in the world today? The issue that makes Sunnis like Al-Qaeda fighters want to kill Shiites like Hezbollah militants? Any issue that makes one band of loonies want to kill another band of loonies is worth preserving and promoting.

It is every ayatollah's human right to shut down 120 newspapers and to jail dozens of editors and writers.
