Get this... From Arab News -- "Muslims are tolerant because they believe in the three prophets - Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) -- therefore they respect Christianity and believe in its teachings.

I'll take American freedom any day of the week, no doubt, so would have those young dead saudi students.

Hasn't been decided. But... The Rutherford Institute, a Virginia-based civil liberties group, filed a federal lawsuit last Tuesday on behalf of the family of Nashala Hearn.
