It's not about bowing in fear, it's about staying true to who we say we are.
This entire stunt with the pastor was such a big deal only because it came on the heels of the Islamic Cultural Center controversy in New York. That was only such a big deal because people are exploiting fear of Islam for political gain.
We can have free speech in the country and let the crazies be crazies without it being a problem. But when the Right Wing is acting like MSG, primarily to serve their own interests, then they infringe on all our rights.
Sure, we have the right to ask for responsibility from Muslims abroad, but who are we to ask if we can't even practice what we preach?
Pretty soon you're going to see the fringe Right blaming Islam for all our ills. I can see it forming as we speak.
