Dear Editor:

Mr. Dhume ridiculously wraps himself in the "noble cause" of freedom for smut peddlers as one against terrorism. He states that "the affair captures . . . the Muslim country's steady slide toward intolerance," but the slippery slope he fails to mention is pornography. Here in the U.S., indecency used to be considered a woman pictured in her undergarments, now hardcore porn is a widespread multi-billion-dollar publicly traded business. Child porn, Internet predation, STDs and sexual assaults are now endemic. While I am no proponent of the fanatical tactics of Jemaah Islamiyah (I am an Ahmadi Muslim whom they brutally persecute), the overall opposition to pornographic license is a justified one.
Ignored is the sex-slave/child prostitute industry of many nearby Asian countries (largely fueled by "liberated" Western perverts) and the meteoric rise of AIDS in the region. Are we to believe that these realities have nothing to do with the ever-increasing laxity and spread of "free" moral values? Mr. Dhume attempts to frame this as a "choice between an open society and a repressive one." It is not. The issue is people voicing dissent against harmful trends engulfing their lives. Democracy in action. Why is it when Rudy Giuliani cleaned up the filth in Times Square he was hailed a hero, but when Muslims in their own lands try to avoid such degeneration in the first place they are accused of "Islamic totalitarianism"?

Sincerely,
Ronald D. Hubbs Jr. (Abdur Rahim)
Chino, California
