Yet there are people right here on FR who'd love to see our country turned into a fundamentalist Christian nation.

America has always been a fundamentalist Christian nation BUT we have a constitution to protect against any one religion being made a power of the governement, and allowing all religions to practice in peace.

Christians also have no rules that require killing off the opposition, and our constitution also protects those of other religions so they are not whacked because they believe differently than a state sponsored religion, none of this is true of sharia law, which condones the killing of christians and other religious groups, jews for instance, and the enslavement of women, just to name a few of it's more endearing qualities.

We have no state sponsored religion and your supposition that Christians want to somenow overthrow the US government and turn us into a "Christian" government without the protection of the law we are now afforded is just BS.

I believe he said 'some' Christian would want that, not all. I do not doubt for a second that is the case, obviously so. Fortunately that is a small fringe element.

Some people here think that allowing Muslims to practice their religion in our country has been a mistake. Do you?

I didn't say that all Christians felt that way. Some do.

Given your use of the term "BS", you might not be fundamentalist enough to feel that way.
