No room for independent and carefully considered thought, and people like Aliu thinking they get to claim ownership of the right way of looking at things.

Why does Carter get his opinion, but Aliu doesn't get his?
I think people who believe that this situation should only allow opinions of sunshine and kindness need to wake up. I don't see Aliu's or Carter's comments as being definitive or one more worthy of than the other, so I'm not sure why it's not ok to call Carter's comments embarrassing and question them with harshness, while calling Aliu's comments "idiotic and unfair."
