The Cost of Being a Muslim!



Well, the cost of being a Muslim is that you have the distinct honor of being the target of vitriol and stupidity.

I watched recently the interview on Fox News with Reza Aslan, who was being interviewed by Lauren Greene about his new book entitled Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth.  Here is the best quote from the interview:

“It’s pretty clear that there are those who actually do not like the book, who are unhappy with its general arguments,” said Aslan on Friday. “That’s perfectly fine. I’m more than willing to talk about the arguments of the book itself. But I do think it’s perhaps a little bit strange that rather than debating the arguments of the book we are debating the right of the scholar to actually write it.”

And here is the link of the latest interview response of Fox contributors who just keep piling it on and proving Mr. Aslan's point.

As I have said before in this Angry Black Man blog forum:  we, as a country, are headed in the direction of a civil war.  Why?  Because of the extremes we live under: class polarization, racial polarization and cultural polarization.  It's scary, but historically predictable.
