Like I said, if individual Muslims violate our laws, punish them. Otherwise, they have the same rights as anyone else in America.
But the key is, we consider those types of people defective. muslims are taught that killing infidels is glorious.
How many Muslims in this country have committed killings of infidels?
Your heart is in the right place, but your mind is not. We are at war, and war is not pretty, and sometimes things get lost in war that you'd rather not lose.
We are perfectly able to fight this war without throwing away our Constitution and our American values. We've been doing fine so far.
"How many Muslims in this country have committed killings of infidels?"
Wrong question. The right question is, what are they teaching? The biggest murders are dead, but oddly enough, all of the 9/11 hijackers were islamic. But then, you'd say that's simply coincidence. (But to answer the question, it may be more than you think. Do you know how many immigrants may or may not have participated in the long list of terrorist activities?)
"We are perfectly able to fight this war without throwing away our Constitution and our American values. We've been doing fine so far."
muslims are patient, but dedicated foes. There were 8 years between the 1993 WTC bombins and 9/11. How long were they in Britan before they started blowing things up? I go by their teachings. I assume that if called, most will kill infidels to the glory of allah in whatever fashion dictated by their imam.
Realize, I'm not ignorant of muslims. I know far more than I ever wanted to know about them. But, I believe in knowing the enemy.
You can take the high road. You can preach tolerance and love for all and all those great sounding things. And if there are enough people like you, people like me will be negated. And then, you can be sure to get your prayer rug and enjoy your call to prayer 5 times a day. Because if you don't, you'll be dead. That is how they want it, wake up.
