No....I don't think they would. If he had gone out and bought his own crucifix and peed on it, the ACLU would have defended him. I might have too...it would be his crucifx after all.
Not all Muslims want to kill us. I know there's parts of the Koran that tell them to make war on infidels, but does every Christian toe the line on every edict in the bible? There's a number of Muslims who live here, like it here and just want to practice thier religeon like anyone else. They don't want to blow things up, they don't want to cut off our heads and they don't want to murder your sister for driving herself to work and letting people see her ankles when she walks down the street.
Tossing a pig's head into a Mosque is just a stupid thing to do.
How about Serano's crucifix in urine that taxpayers funded?
That is the state PAYING someone to commit a hate crime.
Thoughtcrime laws are garbage. They are not equally applied.
You are correct - not every Muslim wants to kill us - THEMSELVES with their own hands - but far more than admit it at least tacitly approve of the murder of "infidels" by terrorists.
Your comparison to Christianity and the Bible is just wrong. The Bible is clearly something to be taken in context - including the context of the Old Testament being supplanted by the New Testament. We are to learn the lessons taught in the OT through the lense of the NT. And yes, we are suppose to "tow the line" given to us in the Bible. My Bible doesn't tell me to murder "infidels". It tells me to deal with unbelievers with Love that they may also learn of said love.

If your fantasy were true, then they wouldn't be true muslims following mohammed, allah, nor bin laden. They want to alright...it's just a matter of timing. The stated goal of islam is to master the world. As their population grows here, and it will, the threat to our sovereignty will increase.
Course one needn't take my word for it since the evidence exists worldwide. Chenya, Kosovo, East Timor, America, England, Spain, Bosnia, Israel, Lebanon, Solmalia, Philipines, Uganda, just to name a few.
The problem isn't conversion, it is the supremacist ideology.
There are nations that hold to Islamic law, a political system, not a religion. There are practioners who want everyone under that political system. At least bowing to the supremacy of that system and respecting their laws of blasphemy, never mind that First Amendment in OUR country.
I don't consider all muslims a threat. However this is not a generational fad that will pass with time. It flares up around the world and lasts for centuries. More must be done from within mosques to end this dream of world domination. The West does not have theocracies although it has a dominant faith. While there are some laws inspired by biblical texts (including the 10 Commandments), many have been dropped by legislatures (including many blue laws on Sundays and laws against adultry...).
Islamic societies codify one set of rights for muslims and another for non-muslims (Jews and Christians being lesser under the law and atheists, Buddhists, and Hindus below that).
Again, vandalism and vigilantism is not the answer. It never is. But there is no analogy between Christians and muslims.
WHOA RIGHT THERE!
There is no moral equivalence, so don't attempt to draw one. It only blurs and distorts the fact that, if every Muslim did what his holy book required him to do, and every Christian did what the Bible (which out to be CAPITALIZED, btw) instructed him to do, you would have ultra-violent Muslims and ultra-gentle Christians.
Only because man is a LUKEWARM animal do we have some good Muslims who don't live the life their philosophy requires.
We also have a lot of Christians who are lukewarm, but the result of a lukewarm Christian isn't a murderous individual, it's an amoral or apathetic one.
The lukewarm Muslim is actually a nicer person than the lukewarm Christian (I've known a few), because lukewarm is a peaceful direction on the spectrum (for them). For us, it's away from peaceful.
Anyone else understand this?
Sauron
But don't you get the distinct impression that too few of them would be bothered if their co-religionists did any of the deeds you describe?
Okay...alright...not all Muslims want to kill the infidels. Some just want Allah to strike them dead with lightning. It doesn't mean "they" want to kill us.
When a few more of Muslims (hell when any of them) in this country begin to show some disgust for the actions of so many then maybe I might believe it.
