Islam calls for the death of any who choose to leave Islam after announcing conversion.
Islam doesn't recognize the inherent dignity of humanity, or the rights of individuals who are not members of their specific faith and sub-group. Any atrocity visited on non-believers is acceptable.
Now, in the old Testament, you could get a death sentence for a whole stack of infractions, and King Saul's grievous fault was not killing each and every Man, Woman and child. So, one could argue, the book doesn't make the religion. But, the problem of Islam is its connection to all manner of evil that is long and varied as the years since the days of the Prophet. So you can close your eyes and say... there are just a few nuts.. and this works except.. kill all you like.. they'll make more.
I understand that you don't like their beliefs. but once we get rid of the terrorist crazies that would attack us, our job is done.
Are you supposing that the U.S. government should start a program of conversion by the sword ?
That we sould send in the Marines because people live under a system where they are denied the "inherent dignity of humanity, or the rights of individuals who are not members of their specific faith and sub-group. "
Lets say Al-Quada did not threaten us - Would you want to waste a single American soldiers life to stop the fighting between the Sunnis and the Sheites ?
... and THEN send in government missionaries to convert them ?
Like I said, once the threat to US is gone, they can pray to fire hydrants if they want.
