It's clear that some sort of tactic is necessary. If there was some way to simply change their mind through reasoned argument that would be swell and dandy now, wouldn't it? However, their convictions are emotionally instilled, and emotion does not listen to reason.
That being the case, how do we reach them on an emotional level? It would be nice if we could 'love' the hate out of them, so to speak- this would be a liberal or new-age approach- but in practice, like most liberal approaches, this would not work.
Without using the very tactics they use against us, that is, without terrorizing them, how do we reach them at that emotional level where their misplaced faith resides?
Short of demonstrating, in a real and dramatic way, the fallacy of their beliefs, I just don't know.
I don't know either....
Unfortunately it's easier to recognize ways to make it worse than ways to make it better.
As a policy position our government is willing to investigate actions regarding treatment of the Koran, muslims, etc. and prosecute Americans for hate crimes. As it has been pointed out on this thread one has the right to burn the flag, the right to display antichristian art, the right to print slanderous, treasonous, inciteful, articles. It is time to defend our rights.
We need artists to create an expression of a view of Islam, burn the flag of Islam, continue expressing the truth of rights violations in the Islamic nation. And all these things, here in the United States is a protected Right, no matter what the rest of the world has to say. What's at stake here is our Rights as Americans. Muslims can call the Whitehouse all they want to express their outrage, but the fact of the matter is if I created a painting showing the desecration of any religion, it's art and its my freedom of speech, and its my right. We can't change how Islam practices its religion, but we can make sure Islam does not trample our; "God-given rights that are protected by the Constitution," as stated by Del Rio Wildcat 2.
