Okay, for starters, honour killings will never be legal in the U.S., so that's not really worthy of discussion.

Second, if people like McCain aren't "real" Republicans, can you tell me what the base requirements are from being one?

Third, how are these people appeasing "bloodthirsty Muslims" exactly?

Are you talking about this?

Quote:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told CBS’s Bob Schieffer on Sunday that some members of Congress were considering some kind of action in response to the Florida Quran burning that sparked a murderous riot at a United Nations complex in Afghanistan and other mayhem.

“Ten to 20 people have been killed,” Reid said on “Face the Nation,” but refused to say flat-out that the Senate would pass a resolution condemning pastor Terry Jones.

“We’ll take a look at this of course…as to whether we need hearings or not, I don’t know,” he added.

And this?

Lindsey Graham On Koran Burning: “Freedom Of Speech Is A Great Idea But We’re In A War.”

Are your comments about how to respond to the Quran burning? Or whether to respond at all?
