It was no blunder.
ok - so westerners certainly do not agree with "sharia law" But - isn't religious freedom - the right to worship as one see fit - the whole basis of the the founding of the US of A? So we're good with religious freedom....as long as it's OUR religion..... right? scrape 'em off - let the ME countries do whatever they please - stop support one and all - F-them we can get our oil from Canada......
