An article sparked some interest for me today.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/recruiting-for-isis-60-minutes/
I can't imagine someone like Choudary in the U.S. I've followed his exploits for some time, and find him weasely and repugnant.
The Christians here (many of them anyway) are already deathly afraid of Islam; it shows in their end time "prophecies", their sermons, and their intolerance and hatred.
I'm very big into free speech, but guys like Choudary are inciting violence, and it seems a difficult tightrope to walk. I'm curious as to how our UK members assess such a situation.
If someone here was as open and loud as Choudary, I think there are many here that wouldn't be so tolerant as people have been for him there.
I'm curious as to what people feel the differences are between the UK and the US here...
So enlighten me guys, what do you think?
