"So the entire religion has become accountable to you?"

You're not being rude - that's a reasonable rebuttal.

At this point, I have zero faith in them or anyone practicing that religion. I look at the World Trade Center, Israel, Belsan, Kosovo, Nigeria, Sudan, Holland, etc...

At least half of the people on this thread feel the same way (or worse). I doubt there's a single Freeper who has ever said anything or done anything harmful to a Muslim in this country. We feel that we gave them the benefit of the doubt. But they still stay with a religion that wants to destroy this country - or at least that's what every major leader in the religion says (as far as I can tell).

So we feel it's payback time. They can either leave the religion or bring it into present day - but they cannot, and will not, be allowed to have it both ways.

My point about scrutiny is a suggestion for them, as a confidence building measure, if they want to start being accepted again. Otherwise, we're ready to engage.

I would bet you are correct. (And I rarely bet.)

I do understand the sentiment. There are elements of Islam that need to be reformed, or pushed aside completely. I would agree, personally, I think it must start with getting rid of some of the backwards Islamic regimes, but that is easier said than done....
