Hey C.A.I.R, I DON’T CARE!

So now C.A.I.R. (Council on American Islamic Relations) is outraged. I can’t remember the last time Muslims weren’t outraged, but the outrage du Jour is full-body scanners at airports. See it here.

Ok, I guess I get it. After all, body scanners would make the very thing many radical Islamics want to make their number one export (Bombs) much harder to deliver. OK, that’s not what they said… Their reason is that body imaging is against their religion. If we set aside the fact that I’ve seen old Sears & Roebuck catalogs with granny corsets look more titillating than any of these computer images, I guess I can understand. What I don’t understand is selective outrage.

I mean, Muslims are outraged over body scanners, but not stoning a woman because she was raped?

Muslims are outraged over body scanners, but not blowing up a plane, bus, train or marketplace packs with civilians?

Muslims are outraged over body scanners, but not a father killing his daughter because she dated someone outside their wonderful peace-loving religion?

Muslims are outraged over body scanners, but not firing rockets and mortars from a civilian dwelling so the retaliation kills some of their own innocent peace loving comrades’?

I’m sorry, CAIR. I just don’t care. Maybe when you stop trying to blow up stuff and kill innocent people, we’ll worry more about your religion and its selective sensibilities.
