John 'Giok' MacKenzie, nobody writes from a neutral point of view. The only people who believe they are doing so are the ones who are so ignorant of other possible points of view, they consider theirs to be the only possible valid one.

The fact that you consider anyone who is now or has ever been a Muslim to be automatically suspect or inherently dishonest shows how biased and lacking in neutrality your own perspective is.

I found this while searching the Mail & Guardian website. This is the kind of thing that represents the culmination of the kind of agenda Western governments have toward Muslims around the world. The way the government in question (the US government in this case) is behaving toward human beings is no better than anything that is being done or has been done to human beings by any Muslim regimes, or even terrorists. In fact some of the tactics are very reminiscent of tactics used by the Nazis in their prison camps. This is the kind of thing we are being inured to by Western governments. It is the reason they are trying to portray Muslims throughout the world as less than human, as the cartoons in Jyllands-Posten did. If we don't see Muslims as human, we won't mind so much when our governments (and our servicemen and women) treat them as less than human.
