What Mike, Scott, and Severus are saying makes a lot of sense despite how radical they may seem.

Everyone is entitled to be proud of who they are, regardless of race/creed.

Where the problem begins are those that want to impose their beliefs on others without consent.

The same holds true for the war on terrrr, however once that same ideology begins to impose it's beliefs over everyone, the whole concept of right/wrong becomes cloudy once again.

i.e. Be whoever you want to be in life, and that's great, just don't try to change who I am in the process.
