If you qualify all my comments, you can make them say anything you want them to...then blow them apart.
I am talking about moslems who come to America, under the underpinnings of our liberties, commit to abide by the Constitution.
I don't believe the Koran FORCES any of them to kill or whatever. It is the verses taken out of context by lopside and twisted men called imams in dark places of the world that make the verses say that.
I also read the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, and I know that he points out some really hideous stuff. There have been men down through the times of Muhammad who say this verse says this, or is really translated this way or that. They are wrong...plain and simple.
Moslems who come here MUST reject those twisted beliefs, abide by our Constitutional system with it Bill of Rights...or go back home.
If they lie in hiding trying to make our C say something else, they will have to convince Congress (both Houses) to pass an amendment, and 2/3rds of the states would have to ratify. They can try, but the Supremes would throw it out.
If they do things at a City, County or State level...it will be challenged to the courts and thrown out.
The SCOTUS said once in an opinion in the 40s, that this country is designed to be ruled by those most passionate to get involved, organized and work.
If we are not those passionate people...we have no one to blame but ourselves.
The problem is that the koran itself is incompatible with our constitution. They can either be Americans or they can be moslems. The koran leaves them no other options

The problem is that those lopsided and twisted men are interpreting the koran exactly correctly. In order to evaluate a text you must consider the conditions under which it was written, internal consistency, and context of the individual verses. Strictly interpreting the koran according to the spirit in which it was written (That is, does this interpretation line up with Mohammed's other writings and the events of his day), the internal consistency (Is this interpretation consistent with the rest of the koran*) and the context of each verse leads to the conclusion that the taliban was the most correct practice of Islam.

I agree Islam is incompatible with our Constitution.
* The koran already has major internal consistency failures as Mohammed seemed to write what would help him most at that time. Hoever internal consistency of each sura must still be taken into account. Fortunately each chapter is pretty internally consistent.
