I think as great as the internet is(it does allow us to have City-Data!), there are so many idiots out there on both sides that make it a dangerous place to be. I feel sorry for all of those people who hate Israel and feel the same for the ones that hate all Muslims. This world has been going to a $%^& in a handbag for sometime though, so that site and others like it don't suprise me....

So again, why do you support those who despise the values you hold?
Because they themselves don't have any values. They vicimize the bad guys and make the people just living their lives as the offenders. Or maybe it's a self loathing thing, who knows

yeah, nobody accuses conservatives of being self loathing or suffering from liberal guilt, like so many liberals do.

That liberals can support groups that hate their values, is insane.

Insults are insults, and have no place in reasonable discourse. I pretty much ignore people who use them, as they don't contribute anything useful to the discussion.

If you want to base your opinions of the world on the FaceBook page of a guy in Turkey with a handful of followers, and wave it like a flag emblematic of your own personal prejudices, that's your business. Most of us can easily find more reliable indicators of the human condition and the course of geo-politics, and use them to guide us in our quest for truth and wisdom.
