Was it something I said? (A Hallmark moment)

Once again I am banished from Free Republic and my posts have been scrubbed, Stalin-like, from the archives.

Here's a tip: never compare Brent Bozell to the female leader of a Kashmiri Islamic group in their respective battles over cultural values.

I occasionally commented on Free Republic threads, just to try to nudge the discussion in a different direction. I was never a kamikaze troll — what's the point of that. But apparently I went too far when I joined the thread on this NewsMax article.

Nearly two dozen black-veiled Muslim women stormed gift and stationery shops Friday in Kashmir, India, burning Valentine's Day cards and posters to protest a holiday they say imposes Western values on Muslim youth.

The women were from the Kashmiri Islamic group Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or Daughters of the Community, Kashmir's only women's separatist group, whose members are also known for their fiercely conservative social views.
"We will not let anyone sell these cards or celebrate Valentine's Day," said Asiya Andrabi, the group's leader, as she held a burning poster in her hand. "These Western gimmicks are corrupting our kids and taking them away from their roots."

I couldn't resist the temptation.

"These Western gimmicks are corrupting our kids and taking them away from their roots."
Holy crap. She sounds just like Brent Bozell! Seriously. Just substitute "Hollywood" for "Western."

Bad enough, but then I followed up it with this comment further along in the thread:

Groups like Bozell's and certainly most Christian fundamentalist/family values groups have been saying for decades that our culture is crap and that our values are crap and that are kids are hypersexualized to the point of being mini-studs and mini-whores. It's just that when Islamic groups say the same things about us, we really resent it.

That did it.

Or maybe it was the remark on another thread that Cindy Sheehan had an absolute right to do what she was doing.
