” Well, I think I do understand what you are trying to say. One should not sink to the level of those that are trying to hurt you.”

That’s not quite it. I’m for being as brutal to those who support terrorism as the terrorists are to us. I seriously think we should drop “insurgents” from terrorist nations on their country capital buildings at 10k feet. (After a military trial of course.) It would be such a great media demonstration of who’s sponsoring terrorism, so disrespectful of terrorist governments, so terrorizing to the terrorists and such a great demonstration of our moral commitment. But we absolutely have to punish people only for their actions, not their thoughts! That is THE most fundamental principle behind our civilization, legal system, liberty and freedom. It’s THE thing that separates us from the Islamists, not any supposed “cult of death”.

I’d be the first to honor martyrdom of even my kids in defense of THEIR values, not someone else’s. I don’t fault Muslims for marching their kids around in war parades, just for sending them to attack school busses and for attacking people perceived of having engaged in thought crimes. Those two things are what most makes them evil, and one of them is what that ridiculous “amendment” wants to do as well. It outlaws thought and speech, the exclusive hallmark of every degenerate regime, potentially with death if resisted.

Speech is not necessarily free. You may not yell "Fire" in a theater. I would opine that it is just as wrong to teach your children to kill others (not trying to kill you) just because they believe differently. I am all for free speech and freedom of Religion. As with all Freedoms, there is responsibility.

Islam is a cult that must be dealt with violently and with prejudice. It WILL come here in all it's "Glory" and we will regret that we did not do what was necessary earlier.
