After all, she spends most of her time telling us that we should make peace and justice our moral and religious priorities (and not those side issues like abortion and homosexual activis...I mean civil rights.).
*[I mean anybody outside of Iran and these thirteen "religious leaders" (yes! Thirteen - a landslide)]
