onepath22, some of our leaders maybe as you describe, but to post that America is a money grubbing country is an outright lie.
This thread concerns freedom of speach vs. Muslim leaders encouraging riots over a minor newspaper printing cartoons, it does not deal with the oppression of Iraqi's who have been oppressed by Muslims not the west.
If you want to defend these riots and the murder of Muslims by Muslims that is your right, but to defame all who live in America in the process is not only wrong but slanderous.
