I think your post is the essence of why so many of us feel its time to take a stand against islam and expose it as the blood cult it really is. For so long, we were afraid to say it because it smacks of religious bigotry. But most of the miseries and barbarism on the planet TODAY are caused by the scourge of islam.
Why on earth should the rest of us put up with it?
"Why on earth should the rest of us put up with it?"
Well, exactly. We rightfully comdemn and shun Nazism for much less. When is the last time a media pundit or politiican said we had a duty to "understand" Adolph Hoitler's followers?
We outlaw groups which advocate violent overthrow of the government, and justifiably so. The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact. Yet we are preached about tolerance and acceptance of a group which advocates the violent overthrow of Western Civilization, our government included.
Makes NO sense. None at all. Dressing it in the trappings of some primitive superstition does not confer immunity from conforming to the laws of civilization.
