Well, that's really just too bad. The rest of the world is not Muslim, and the Olympics have been held at roughly the same time of year for the past 50 or so years, so I don't see any overt discrimination against Islam. Seems to me that Muslims get outraged over the slightest things these days! Of course they are rarely outraged when one of their followers becomes a 'martyr' and takes innocent lives by blowing themselves up in a pizza parlor with hundreds of children around.

I believe later on there should be tax increases. Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of very rich people out there whom we can tax at a point down the road and recover some of the money."
