Do you stand for anything? Or do you only stand against those willing to take a stand. I think that Julian was only making an individual point in this matter. What comments could you safely make regarding children being taken as unwilling victims of a society unwilling to see any other viewpoint, unless seen through outdated antiquity? It would be an atrocity to witness such violation of children in "ANY" society. Lighten-up! P.S. : Not for nothing, I think the fact that the Photograph itself is a UNICEF photo of the year speaks volumes.

There's a witch hunt coming, screaming out on it's rebirth
There's a crusade coming, Hellfires back here on earth
See the light in their eyes shine, listen to their words like swords
The Christian militia is marching now
There's a witch hunt coming, born out of all the American fears
There's a new purge coming, an inquisition for all of us here
Hold onto your sanity as best you can
While some Hitler claims to speak for the Son of Man
The Christian militia is marching now
Hatred makes the adrenaline flow
Stir up the fire watch it grow
Everybody loves a righteous cause
Old lives forgotten in holy wars
Everything forgotten in holy wars

There's a nightmare coming, shut up your doors close your mind
There's a nightmare coming - Born Again, born again blind
The girls show the way, then show us their legs
With American showbiz razzmatazz
With sex in one hand and a gun in the other, Christ returns
The right-wing respectable clampdown clan
Find their figure head in a holy man
Here come the Christians an hysterical mob
Worshipping the Devil in the name of God
Worshipping the Devil in the name of God

This is the classic argument against anyone trying to avoid slogans:

Yes, I stand, just like the drude, for a battle against religion or any other system used as a tool for suppression of individual rights by a select group of power hungry (though that group is probably larger than you think). What I shall never do however, is vaguely condemn a society or make insinuations of a general kind which tend to focus on the general culture of the people involved, rather than on the act, which does rarely *result* automatically from the culture. Child marriage does not "rusult from islam", just as women's circumcision does not "result from islam" - which is however the general tenure in many of Cope's drudions. And, as I said, it not only weakens his argument, but immediately puts a stamp on any member of that society.

Now I know, we all know Cope is a goody. We all know we're on the left, ey? But does that mean we can throw our own principles overboard?

Arf!
