85. I'm not proposing arguing with fundamentalists
Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 04:39 PM by Bragi
I don't give a shit about their religious views, what matters to me is the adherents' behavior, and if they represent a threat to the safety of other people.

If a group feel they have a right to threaten or do harm to others should they feel offense regarding their religion, then I think I'd like to see them watched/dealt with/stopped. I'd also favor reviewing sentencing guidelines for crimes aimed at suppressing the free speech of others.

I also wish Obama would invite Molly to the White House before she heads out to her new life in hiding. He could take the opportunity to announce a special Presidential initiative of some sort to address this problem. That would be a good way to start the learning process.

Substantive Edit: removed the word "tedious" before "religious views", other changes
