[lbo-talk] Coulter: Muslim's smell bad

[Jeffrey Fisher]

i don't understand why implying that muslims "smell bad" is worse than 
attributing to muslims as a whole "tenets [that] are more along the 
lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the 
name mohammed')".

unbelievable. but really maybe this is just an example of how muslims 
hate women, and that's why CAIR is going after coulter.
