Stupid Hearings is Stupid

[karadinart]

You might have heard of congressional hearings (in the US) on radicalisation of Isalm. As an American, I'm not afraid of Islamic radicals as much as much larger religious groups, who engage in terrorist acts on a daily basis, killing doctors, bombing clinics, etc. etc.

Hearings on radicalization of all kinds would have suited us, just pointing a finger at the Islamic minority smacks of the McCarthy Red-scare. Look over here, so you won't pay attention to what else is going on.

Why not go after all radicals then? Because no one religion holds the title of most "radical." Go after specific crazy people, not their belief systems.

Exactly! sounds so sane, doesn't it?
