This video looks very clean, however and I appreciate the warning about the Saudis getting on the UN women's agency. Note that, in the "News & Blogs" column to the right, there's a link to an <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/afghanistan/2010/11/14/saudi-arabia-spot-on-un-women-agency-triggers-outcry/" rel="nofollow">article about this</a>--a worthwhile read.<br /><br />It's not hard to get speech labeled as racist. Several years ago, a person on a local city commission referred to something Condell said as racist. I was upset so I sent off an email to the commission complaining that Islam is a religion and not a race. I got back an email which started with this unfuckingbelievable way of applying a concept:<br /><br /><strong>"</strong><strong></strong><span>I understand that race is not religion, but I think I<br />made my point clearly enough and believe the term<br />"racism" is being used more and more the way I did. As<br />to how that has happened, it is intuitive. It feels<br />like racism and ones natural response (at least mine,<br />and others I've heard use the word similarly) is that<br />the term applies.
