ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
"when are they going to join the 21st century". this is just buzz talk for look how backward those Muslims are. The bigotry against Islam is getting really ugly here.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Sep 15, 2012, 06:05 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Bigots can fuck off!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Evaluate the post as a whole. These are GOOD questions. We are asking these questions of ourselves since 9/11. The cheek reference is regrettable, because it implies a response to Islam with the same violence that we are receiving. We shouldn't turn the other cheek, but our response should be to honestly ask ourselves
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not a valid anology but the poster makes a fair observation about how some Muslim leaders seem mired in Eighth century thought.
(I totally disagree with him on disengangement though).
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
