It never ceases to amaze me when the radical left draw “parallels” between America’s Christian Right and Islamofascists. Ayaan Hirsi Ali so eloquently explains that the dynamics of religion in the west are much more humane that what exists in the Middle East. Those living in nations with Christian influences are free to trash religion, promote and distribute degrading entertainment, have abortions, speak out against leadership, and in some cases, burn flags without the fear of prison or even death. That escapes Canadian documentary filmmaker, Avi Lewis.
According to Mr. Lewis, the people of the United States are under just as much oppression and strife as those living in the Muslim world. How can he or anyone else come to such a conclusion? Are things perfect here? No, they aren’t. But to believe that our country (or Canada) is in any way shape or form similar to a society under Islamic law is almost blatantly dishonest.

i liked ms. ali’s quote: ” you grew up on freedom and you can spit on freedom”, which is exactly what mr. lewis does.
she did a good job of speaking truth in the face of his mockery.

Well said, LorMarie. I wish the Canadians could live in Saudi Arabia for a few years, not knowing if they could ever leave, then decide if the U.S. is so bad.
