Al Sharpton - the self proclaimed savior of those who are victims of prejudice, has finally revealed to us his true feelings about other races and religions when he proclaimed that Muslims do not worship the "real" God. Where are all the people who showed up to protest Don Imus and the Duke Lacrosse players (who were innocent, incase the media forgot to let you in on that too.)

Obviously all the people who notice his ignorance are unable to speak for themselves and there are so many that are willing to let him speak for them. I feel bad for the people he uses for his own glory. As long as the media is stupid enough to carry his ranting, people are going to be stuck listening to it.
And, you did notice that rev al was unwilling to submit an apology to the Duke LaCrosse Players like he demanded Imus give. For those who don't see a connection, as usual, rev al was seeking severe punishment for people he has tried in his own mind court. Slander is never a good thing. rev al has caused riots and people have died as a result of those riots.
Imus' remarks, while unwarrented, did not do the damage that rev al causes to people... but he has those poor girls believing they need counseling for it. They lost so much respect just for allowing rev al to take up their cause.

It's because Al Sharpton is black and a leech. Hes a scummy opportunist who is a drain on society. People like Sharpton only protest when they see potential for fame and self promotion. Sharpton and the Rev. Jackson have both said horribly racist & cruel remarks about white people, Jewish people, and now Muslims yet they aren't publically scrutinized nor have people called for their jobs. I suppose if you cry loud enough and you divert enough attention off of you, that you can say what you want without repercussions.

I have read several articles from members of the Black community that are down-right offended by Sharpton's diatribes and accusations. I'm just a republican, white, mother and yet I'm still indignent, insulted and quite angered that our beloved freedom of speech has been torn, twisted and destoried by people who feel they have the right to "prove" themselves by misconstruing the language of the Constitution.
Don't forget the Twana Braley case Mr. Sharpton was involved with. From there it is easy to decide that the man is a blow-hard and what he says is simply inflamatory verbage.
Per chance the educated people of the world would choose to ignore, then maybe his pontifications would be forgotten and not worth what he thinks they are.

Al Sharpton is a fool like Jesse Jackson. A hater, and will never get anywhere.
Martin Luther King was a man. And Malcolm X should have been the true Black cultural leader. He was Warrior. Who fought bravely when young, and learned the wisdom of Peace as he got older. That's why they had to get of him.

If the people who he spoke about were so offended then yes they should; I however will do nothing; I was not protesting Imus or those Duke players (who by the way I do not feel sorry for in the least)

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson can say anything racist about any race and get away with it because they are black people that have power. If you dare point a finger at black people, you'll have them down your throat in an instance..it's all drama.

Al Sharpton ONLY worships the camera. Don't take him seriously. The same goes for the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson.

No one will rant or rave. In America, minorities, especially blacks, are allowed to act as ignorant as they want and nothing is said. It is like your drunk uncle at the party that everyone can't stand, but pretends they don't see. You have low expectations already, and when they sink to those expectations no one is really surprised.

well, to be honest i know very little about thisShaprton guy (i don't live in the US and don't really follow the political stuff of the US either) but i think that racist comments, esp. from the mouth of an african american is simply unaccptable.

"God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). He did not merely point the way to God. He himself claimed to be the only way to the Father and the source of eternal truth and life.
May be the same God, but the Islamic path according to my Bible is incorrect.
