sophiaserpentiaSo we have people protesting the speech former Iranian President Khatami gave at the Kennedy School of Government last night -- because of its proximity to 9/11.
What does Khatami have to do with 9/11? The only thing he has in common with al-Qaida is that he is a muslim. He's not an ally of al-Qaida, and he's not even an Arab. Iran is not a country with which we are at war.
So, no muslim is allowed to make a speech in the United States on or near 9/11?
Do we get to ban white supremacists (or, heck, any reactionaries at all) from speaking on April 19?
