The terrorists killed 3000 americans in the name of Islam. Moslems who wear these grabs identify with the terrorists instead of the American victims. they deserve no sympathy or tolerance from me.

Mr. tolerant; please ask your self this: If a bunch of Christians went to pakistan/Indonesia/Egypt, and blew up their biggest buildings, and killed threee thousand Moslems in the name of Christianinty. In addition, Christian churches all over the world are preachin the killing of Moslems, do you suppose the Moslem population in such countries would allow a NY minute to pass before they would slaughter every Christian they know or find - guilty or not? If your answer, deep in your own heart that they will slaughter the Christians immediatly, then you are kidding yourself by allowing a useless thing like tolerance to enter your mind.

Who is promoting "tolerance" here? I just think we have better things to do than demand an 11-year-old girl take off a stupid little headscarf. You seem to have noticed that we're caught in the middle of a war on terrorism against a group of people who want to kill us - that's all well and good. Have you failed to notice the even BIGGER war going on - the war for the American culture? Honestly, the latter is MUCH more serious - even if we root out terrorism, how is that going to save us from the socialist onslaught coming from the left today?

Have you ever stopped to realize that calling for the heads of all the Muslims in the world might actually TURN AWAY many people who would otherwise be good conservatives? Do you not realize that, in a war for culture, we need the hearts and minds of as many people possible to support our cause? I'm not talking about being moderate here. I just refuse to paint with broad brushes and say that every Muslim who practices Islam in the slightest way supports terrorism. She is an 11 year old girl, for crying out loud. Saying that isn't a matter of tolerance. It's a matter of DECENCY.
