In "A Queer Taste for Muslim Rioters" at Frontpage Mag, Rick Rosendall criticizes the response to the Danish cartoons by Al-Fatiha, a group which, according to its mission statement, is "dedicated to Muslims who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, questioning, those exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity, and their allies, families and friends."
Writes Rick:
[I]n response to an appeal by gay blogger Michael Petrelis to "Buy Danish," Al-Fatiha founder Faisal Alam wrote, "Instead of going out so quickly and 'buying' Danish products, maybe we should reflect on why the Muslim world is so angry at the depiction of its most revered religious figure.... how [the West's] domination of the Muslim world for centuries is now leading to this mass uprising...."
Comments Rick, "If we fail to appreciate and defend our
cherished and hard-won Western liberties, we will lose them-and
Muslims who dream of those same liberties will lose all hope of
them."
