WI,

Because it's hypocritical. That's what make everyone crazy, and it always will.

The reality is that if the OP is "really alarming", or "enlightening", it would be a surprise to some individuals who read it and correctly respond that this is no different than most any power, be it a world power/nation/religion/government.

So, then question then becomes, why is it important to post? As ID points out, it's because it's related to drumming up anti-Islamic sentiment because of the war on Iraqi's, and basically part of a war on Islam.

This is then hypocritical, because the REASONS behind it, would necessarily mean those decrying Islam, should actually be decrying their own state/nation/religion. And since they aren't, they are called on their nonsense.

So if you ask why every time someone writes 1+1=3 always leads to people telling them it's 1+1=2, you can be sure that if someone writes 1+1=3 again, you'll see the same, boring response.
