I have several personal friends who are Muslim and would say otherwise. And, on their behalf, I don't appreciate such bigotry.
Well said.
Of course I might've put it more....forcefully. :-)

I am simply mortified. I've been called a bigot, because I've accurately described the deeds of Muslims, and attributed them to ALL MUSLIMS, including those who like your friends, will take offense and slight to any such description, but never, never take a public step to criticize, or condemn, let alone defend the innocents that Muslims routinely brutalize.
So, you're just attacking me "on their behalf". I'm sorry, but I've lost all my Eccumenical spirit over the past five years. I had Muslim friends. I coached some nice Muslim kids. They played with my kids, and their families were great. One of the kids is now a radical Muslim, a Jahadist in training, and now objects to my very existence as a Christian.
Nope, there is no evidence that Islam or it's followers are a "religion of peace", and being offended, or calling me names won't change the historical facts.
You call me a bigot. Fine. I piss on your moderation. I can no longer afford liberals, "moderates", or RINO's like you. You'll get my family killed.
I do not hate Muslims. They hate me, and are willing to put actions to their hate. When they behead innocents, American's and others, or rape and enslave Christians in Africa, they have attacked me. When they swear "death to the Zionists", they have attacked me. When they crashed airliners into buildings on 9/11 to kill Americans, they attacked me. When American Muslims as represented by CAIR attack and condemn everything this country does to defend itself post 9/11, and ignores every Muslim atrocity in the Middle East, they've chosen Islam and hate over America. I have never harmed a Muslim, never said a cross word to one in public, but sincerely I believe not one American Muslim would cry a tear for my family if they were killed by radical Islamists. They wouldn't lift a finger to defend them.
I am not a bigot. I'm white and my wife and kids are not. You called me a bigot to make yourself feel morally superior; it's the typical refuge and vanity of a liberal.
I'd be more than willing to greet Muslims as brothers, fellow American patriots, men who could see beyond the fact that I'm an infidel, men who could respect me and my religion, patriotic men I could trust to "have my back" rather than knife me in the back. But you see, Muslims can lie to infidel's and be blessed by Allah. They will lie to you and to me, will take offense when you call them liars, and excuse an atrocity of any Muslim committed "in Allah's name", and then say "Allah bless him and give him peace". Show me those American Muslims, one million strong, marching in the streets against CAIR, against the radical Muslims, against the "corruption" of their religion. They don't exist, because they could never, ever condemn a fellow Muslim, regardless of how many American heads he's placed on pikes.
You cite your Muslim friends, make platitudes, and then accuse me of bigotry. I speak from experience and history. I will no longer listen to Muslim lies, or the lies of their reflexive defenders. Your own words are meaningless, and your defense of Muslims, culpable.
