The amount of hypocrisy in this world is astounding. All I can think about when I read this article is how even though this man is saying that his point is to unveil hypocrisy in both sides, he has a very apparent bias. As he speaks about the outrage surrounding this video, he says that the Islam religion should look closer at what their religion really is, and maybe no be so quick to revolt against its claims. His first paragraph talks about how the leader of Hezbollah has called for a diversionary tactic, but “the world has been distracted by such diversion tactics once in 1979. It will not be fooled again in 2012.
I don’t see a relationship with this article and the censorship of the video, but the fact that this writer can blatantly call the leaders of a world power, and that world power’s enemy, hypocrites online, kind of makes me think about censorship. This article, although not offensive like the video, it calls out the leaders of Islam, as well as leaders in our country, like Hillary Clinton. It talks about a case where an Islam American was jailed for speaking out against the government. If this man is an american citizen, then why does he get jailed for exercising his first amendment rights. If I had done the same thing, I can almost guarantee I wouldn’t have been jailed for assisting Al Qaeda. I guess it just shocks me that our country can be as hypocritical as this and not be honest with ourselves about it.
