"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

Indeed, although I have no articulable proof, I suspect that if the Muslim Brotherhood didn’t instigate this outrage, they will enthusiastically endorse it for promotion.
Let’s see… will being suddenly “rational” advance the MB’s agenda of re-establishing the Sharia-governed Caliphate, and enslaving or killing all those infidels and apostates they couldn’t convert?
This is the same Muslim Brotherhood that ardently supported A. Hitler et al, in that whole Holocaust thing. A stance they have yet to modify or refute one itty bitty bit. It’s THAT Muslim Brotherhood, innit?
I think we have our answer.
Well, there’s grown-ups…and then there’s grown-ups. Sometimes the mind does not follow the body, which I suspect is more prevalent than not in this case.
Esteemed liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg selected the Arab Spring countries as her vacation hot spot during their just past break. She gave positive comments about the elimination of tough dictators working with the USA against Al Qaeda and their replacement by groups committed to the Caliphate and our destruction, along with little satan. Ruth’s reported sage advice for the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda was to stay away from our Founding Father’s concepts and the USA Constitution. Not sure what she suggested as a replacement for freedom and all. Maybe an Obama/Soros/Marx constitution and sharia? Egypt has given sanctuary to the leaders of AQ they must be smilin.. The 15 Americans and 30 others in jail for promoting democracy, not so much.
