Boy, you're really reaching there. How would you know what "almost all of those claiming to be Charlie" feel about other issues? Do you think for instance you're the only person alive who ever criticizes Israel or AIPAC? Pray do tell: where do you get your information then? And how about all the Jews who also speak out against the Israeli occupation?
Your modern-day Saladdin role of the moment is likely blinding you.[/quote]

This is a very interesting response. The issue at hand is freedom of expression. I provided an example of where one person's expression had resulted in his losing his job. So, you turn this into an attack on me. Where did I ever mention anything about my criticizing Israel or AIPAC? Why would you ask that question? Why are you asking about Jews who speak out against the occupation? Did they have any impact on Professor Salaita? Your question really doesn't make sense. Finally, saying I have a modern-day Saladin role? What is that about? Saladin captured Jerusalem. I have no designs on Jerusalem. Saladin was a Muslim and a Kurd. I am neither. Saladin led an empire. I run the Mommy Fight Site. I am at a complete loss to see the connection. Unless, of course, you are trying to imply that anyone whose opinion might be sympathetic with Muslims must be a Muslim so he is Saladin? I guess when I write in favor of full rights for gays, you call me Harvey Milk? When I support civil rights for people of color you call me Martin Luther King, Jr. or Cesar Chavez? Is that how it works? I am also a dog lover. I guess you should call me Fido as well.
