Thanks for the ping.
>>>>”Whatever happened to our spine?”
The reality as it currently stands is that in most “secular” Western Democracies, there are Lawful freedoms.
For example: to practice one’s religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and so forth … (never mind the differences between our values/practices in the West & those in most Islamic countries).
In these Legally endorsed Western Freedoms, these “muslims” are said to be justified to exercise their “freedom of speech” (even criticism). Though, there are also “sedition” laws in many Western democracies, regardless of “religion”.
It is well apparent that there is also a fine line between what is legally (or not) considered “an act of terrorism” or “an intended terrorist act”, in many Western Democracies.
The same types of Democracy & Freedoms we legally & morally exercise in the West, obviously, do not apply to many Muslim countries, which, mostly, operate as Dictatorships.
How do we propose to *practically* reconcile (or not) the differences per above?
Anyone that openly supports the jihad should be looked upon as our enemy. Our freedoms should not apply to them, they should have no right to assemble and destroy us from within. We would not of let Nazis do this during WW II.
