"That isn't the issue, fishtank. The issue was the POTUS including Muslims as people of faith and your and Savage's problem with him doing so. It may not be your faith or my faith, but they are people of faith.
We have Freedom of Religion in this country, whether you like it or not. I know many people of many faiths, including Muslims, who are very good people."

"Muslims as people of faith"
(1) The Koran had NO input in the founding of America. The Koran is hostile to American liberty.

"We have Freedom of Religion in this country"
(2) Yes, and I want to keep it that way. If misguided people want the Koran to shape our government, then we will lose our religious freedoms.

"including Muslims, who are very good people"
(3) I am convinced that some Muslims can be good people, not because of the Koran, but in spite of it. Their consciences have told them to reject the Koran's evil messages, while they themselves continue to hold a sentimental attachment to aspects of Islam.


You seem to be having a disconnect with past statements I've made, so I hope the misunderstandings do not persist.

If you persist in your belief that all Muslims are jihadists, I believe we are done with this discussion. As has been stated by me and many others on this silly thread, there as many variations of the interpretation of Islam as there are of the Bible.

For instance, I am Roman Catholic. I have had some of the Baptists on this forum declare that we worship statues and have secret Zionists Overlords. I have had the Radical Traditionalist RC's accuse me of being a hypocrit because I practice birth-control.

There are zealots of all stripes. Sometimes it is useful to hold up a mirror.

Actually intolerant zealots who throw tantrums anytime a President says something nice about a religion other than Christianity, are hostile to American liberty and the concept of freedom of religion.
