Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
The double standard is the West going into Muslim countries and doing pretty much whatever it wants to in those countries (utterly destroying some of them and killing obscene numbers of civilians in the process, as well as destroying their economies, their ancient cultural heritage, their civil infrastructures, stealing their natural resources, and destroying pretty much everything they have or ever had) and then getting all righteously indignant and morally superior when it suffers a backlash from this hideous foreign policy.
