That's why I said "here."   Of course, there are some things out there that 
talk about the evils of islam, calling it a pedophiliac religion and such. 
But since it isn't the muslims *here* attacking the atheists where it's 
still fortunately legal to criticize such attacks, you see fewer videos 
about it.

Why is that? Some bizarre reading of "human rights" or something?

I find it hard to understand how to reconcile that, except maybe the way 
that it's common to consider a white person being passed over in favor of a 
black person "affirmative action" but the reverse being "discrimination."
