Regardless of whether there is freedom of religion or not, no selfrespecting censor would allow a ton of printed material to slip into the country without proper inspections. The fact that the printed material happens to have "Bible" for the title is irrelevant to the decision making.

-M- (8/19/2008) Regardless of whether there is freedom of religion or not, no selfrespecting censor would allow a ton of printed material to slip into the country without proper inspections. The fact that the printed material happens to have "Bible" for the title is irrelevant to the decision making. That may be, but why will they not return them since they are leaving?

Why can't Islamofascists learn some tricks like this? My point was doc, that Islamofascists do use tricks like that, more frequently than you might think. And if you don't think so, go take a browse through some of the headlines on Jihad-Watch and Dhimmi-Watch. It's not all violence and suicide bombs.

Locus Coeruleus (8/19/2008) Why can't Islamofascists learn some tricks like this? My point was doc, that Islamofascists do use tricks like that, more frequently than you might think. And if you don't think so, go take a browse through some of the headlines on Jihad-Watch and Dhimmi-Watch. It's not all violence and suicide bombs. How many Baptist suicide bombers you heard of recently? Thus my point: Baptist 99% non-violent religious freaks; Islamofascists 65% violent religious freaks.

To answer your question, none, of course. And that is exactly one of the main points the folks at Jihad-Watch make, all of the time. I guess I was speaking to something else, and that is that we must not fool ourselves into thinking that Islamofascists are only pursing their goals through violent means. The violent means are obvious. The non-violent tactics are not always obvious, and ones that we must be especially aware of. What kind of a liberal says things like this?
