Arabs can be of any race. So can Jews, Muslims, Christians and Americans.


So technically speaking, a camel jockey could be of any race. But last time I heard anything about camel jockeys, they were enslaved, starved, sexually molested Bangladeshi and Indian boys working the races in the United Arab Emirates.

If I say that this child slavery is another wonderful aspect of Arab culture, like honor killings, enslaved Filipino maids, suicide bombs, lack of freedom, hijackings, beheadings......

am I being racist?

or observant?

There's a big difference between being culturally "observant" and Miss Coulter's crass trotting out of time-worn racial epithets in the guise of "humour" for some lame attempt to extend her 15 minutes of media notariety.

I would consider myself liberal in my point of view on social issues, but I think Ann Coulter is right on in a lot of what she says. I definitely agree with most of what she says in this article. The fact is we��re scared to be open and talk frankly about the divide here between Western values, Muslim values and the conflicts that are the result. Also, we��re forgetting that there are extremists out there who are stirring this stuff up. These cartoons were published weeks ago. Were there just stacks of Danish flags lying around Muslim countries just waiting to be burned? More probable, as these cartoons were published weeks ago, it took a few weeks for the flag orders to be filled and arrive. It stinks of the masses being manipulated.

The fact is however, that the news outlets are going after and giving press to the rioters while mostly ignoring a whole group of Muslims who aren't storming the gates of some embassy from the West. It seems like the folks on the Right are quick to lambaste the media when the press isn't on their side, but ignore the clear bias to spin the negative angles in stories to get ratings. The fact is not all Muslims are rioting over this, and I think I can safely bet that most Muslims aren��t rioting over this.

I'm frequently un-PC, but like the cartoons themselves, it's hard to read someone's intention in print. I usually keep the un-PC comments to verbal communication. I get the point she was trying to make because I frequently run around, among my friends being one of the most un-PC people in the group. However, I think, her article would have more power had she kept the slurs to herself and just reserved the sarcasm for making her point.

The most enjoyable aspect of the Coulter saga is the willingness of conservatives to attack liberals for saying far less inflammatory things than she does without having their heads explode from cognitive dissonance.

We seem to be divided into three groups. Those who disagee with every thing this woman said because she's racist at heart ( we have all met a few like that, especially here). Those who will listen to the good points, ignore the bad and live life better for it ( a minority) and those who accept the majority of what she says because its in line with their own thinking (a small percentage).

Before you shoot the messanger, consider which group do you truly find compatibility with.

This video sums up Ann Coulter pretty well.
