You are so wrong on this. And are you suggesting that we should engage in discrimination based on religion? Are you LDS? If so, have you learned nothing of LDS history?

What he is saying is that, today, we have to be so politicaly correct, that we bend over backwards to ignore problems. Depending on the sexual orentation, race or religion, people can say or do anything and not get called on it. No matter how outrageous or untruthful it is. Yet, let someone say something factual and they are branded raciest, bigont, homophobed, etc. If anyone had raised a red flag on hime, it would have been labeled racial profiling and religious bigotry.

"If anyone had raised a red flag on hime, it would have been labeled racial profiling and religious bigotry."

Kinda like earlier this year when the report came out saying to be worried about Religious Right Christian extremists and you all flipped out?

Great letter and I totally agree. Most of us can see what happened, but some (in leadership) are being cluelessly PC and will probably need to have further investigations.

Instead of PC, let's be color-blind and not prejudge about a religion. But lets report and stand against harmful behavior and terrorism. I think most of us do that anyway.
