I have puzzled over why the Liberals in Europe and America align themselves with radical Islam. They all have in common a hatred of President Bush. That will end in two years because Bush will be retired, and his successor will be doing things the radical Islamists don't like, or will be fending off impeachment. There is another area where they have common ground though. The Liberals want rights for special groups and the radical Islamists also want special rights. They start off asking for Sharia laws applied to them rather than the common laws of the country. They want to have the right to beat their wives and abuse their servants, rape women who don't wear veils, broadcast calls to prayer, not allow alcohol or dogs in public transportation; all or one of these have been requested in Canada, Australia, Sweden, and the US. Originally Liberals in America like George Washington were in favor of individual rights. Today's Liberals in America are for group rights as opposed to individual rights. They promote special rights for members of favored groups, which by now include everyone but Anglo-American males and unborn babies.
