So, a victim of a terrorist attack (religious fundamentalism) provides what support for your defense of fascist-like behaviour in the US? Or are you claiming that Juliana McCourt didn't want to be coerced into saying TPoA either? Or are you claiming that Juliana McCourt liked saying TPoA? Or are you claiming that if everyone said TPoA that Juliana McCourt would still be alive? Allow me my view on the situation. Certain people are taught a certain belief and are willing to harm others who don't believe as they do. Now, whether those certain people are terrorists or school-mates.......... But that's okay in your mind 'cause our cause is right and just and meet.

Moffitt's kid is not a hero. And neither are the terrorists. And neither are you.

Depending upon how you define "hero". She's certainly a lot braver than most of the people I've met. Knowing how much it drives people like you up the wall to see things put in perspective. And what perspective is that? A child was killed by someone who couldn't stand opposing thought. A child was beaten by someone who couldn't stand opposing thought. "Perspective"? The child who was beaten was beaten by US CITIZENS! Oh, is the "perspective" you're aiming for the fact that we can treat people with different viewpoints just as badly as the terrorists did? Or is it that you don't HAVE a point? You start waving pictures of dead children as some kind of holy symbol against the forces of evil (liberals) hoping that they will flee in terror? Doesn't look like that happened, does it? So, again, I'm asking you what your point was with your post of a dead girl's picture. Don't give me generalities like "perspective". Give me specifics. And Mike's daughter has more guts and character than you've displayed so far. She's willing to get beaten for her beliefs and you can't even articulate your's in a web forum. She's being beaten. The worst you'd get is embarrased. No wonder you don't think she's a hero.
