US bars Muslim leader

This is the sort of thing that makes me despair of the US government. Do they really want to send the message to ordinary, law abiding Muslims that in the opinion of the United States there is no difference between them and a suicide bomber? You know what? That rapidly becomes true. If you treat reasonable people as enemies that's likely what they will become. If Tony Blair had an ounce of sense and decency he'd be reaming Bush over this nonsense. I'm not holding my breath.

Heh.

I tried to argue "If you treat reasonable people as enemies that's likely what they will become" with some of the people on my friends list. Who were threatening to "Boycot [sic] Islam" -- that is, to refuse to patronize Muslims and any business that end up having any Muslims on the payroll.

People are daft. And in the very worst ways possible.
