I don't think European history will serve as a guide regarding the future. I don't think they have the ability or the will to expel the Muslims. If they try it, last November's riots in France will look like like a meeting of the philatelist society in comparison.
It won't be easy, but it can be done.
In other words - carnage... heh.
Hypothetical:
The libs may have provided the noose to strangle Islam. Is Islam not a conspiracy to commit a hate crime?
heh heh heh - anti-lib shoots - he scores!
Dear Mr. Steyn,
It is, and it is.

Justice Jackson was in the minority on Terminiello v. Chicago.
President Rodham can bring tanks to your church and burn it down. Will she?
Islam is recognized by the United States as a legitimate religion. There are Muslim chaplains in the US military. Any legal precedent you set saving America from Muslims can be used later to save America from whatever denomination becomes unpopular.
No, it is not, unless the existence of Christian Identity theology makes Christianity a conspiracy to commit a hate crime.
Most Muslims have not read the Koran. Few of those that have take it as literally as most Christians who have recently discovered it do.
Lame answer.. because..
Not legal
Not possible
Not effective
What a stunningly wonderful story!
Hypothetical question: What if said 'religion' calls for the killing those who try to leave said 'religion', or for killing those who will not convert to said 'religion'?
Is this a 'religion'?
Is this death-cult covered by the 1st Amendment?
Islam is no more or no less a "death cult" today than it was before the Cartoon Riots or 9/11.
Since those times a lot of Christians have read English translations of Koranic verses on the internet and taken them literally.
It is worse than that, it is a conspiracy to commit genocide, and should be labeled as such...

Agreed - Islam is covered today. My question - should not this question be reviewed by the Supreme Court (or Legislative Branch)? Why is a 'religion' (so-called) that calls for its adherents to kill those who leave its 'religion' and calls for the enslavement (dhimmi-ization) or death of those who don't join its gang, be protected by the First Amendment? I don't believe this level of protection was what the Founding Fathers had in mind when the Constitution was drafted.
Islam is no more or no less a "death cult" today than it was before the Cartoon Riots or 9/11.
Technically true. But as more and more islamists have begun to actually follow their 'scriptures' in the past decade - we would be burying our heads in the sand to ignore the present threat.
Since those times a lot of Christians have read English translations of Koranic verses on the internet and taken them literally.
True again (three for three). We were 'blissfully ignorant' prior to 9/11. As a Christian we understand the importance to read, study, understand (as best as we are able) and follow the inspired Word of God (the Bible). Recognizing now that Islam is based on writings that can only be described as 'satanic' in their inspiration (as evidenced by their actual testimonies) we should not walk around in a pre 9/11 haze and pretend that 'islam means peace'. Islam means death and destruction, and for a Western Republic - founded on the Bible - to believe it can peacefully coexist with islam is delusional.
We should pray for those shackled to the islamic creed - but lying to them that their's is 'The Religion of Peace' does no one good. Not us, not them.
Don't mischaracterize what I posted. Their religion is a textbook for fanaticism, subjugation, and murder. And there are no effective checks on it.
Ignore this truth at your peril.
Ask Christians in Islamic countries how "literally" rank-and-file Muslims take the Koran.
There is a Christian named Rahman in Afghanistan who can enlighten you on your foolishness. Ask him while he still has a head.
Allah: "Checkmate."
The proof is in the practice. Muslims emigrate to the west. Christians do not emigrate to Islamic countries. There is a reason for that, and it isn't because Islam and Christianity are morally equivalent in the way you suggest they are.
Canada is struggling with similar threats, as is Australia.
It will happen here in the US sooner rather than later. Keep an eye on Detroit.
