Ask any true believing muslim. "Oh.... you mean that pile of vests with C4,primer cord and modified cell-phones sewn into them, next to the racks of AK-47s and ammo boxes in the basement of our mosque? Uh .......... their just for religious purposes only ........."

I'm afraid this attitude plays into the fears of the non-Christians who are attempting to ban the public display of Christian symbols and rituals. Many non-Christians view Christianity as just as intolerant as Islam. This is ludicrous, however, since our Bill of Rights was established by Christian men.

We must tolerate all religions, including Islam, but this does not mean we must tolerate terrorism under the guise of religion. The challenge is how to legislate ways to differentiate genuine religious practice from religious practice as a cover for terror.
