The truth is that the numbers are going up each day, and in a special way, after what happened yesterday with the foiled massive bombing plot of up to 10 planes. Folks are getting fed up with the deafining silence of the Muslim community.

Thank-you.

BTW, there will be taking place in my home state of CT, in Hartford, this weekend a huge Christian women's conference.

Also, 22 percent of those surveyed said they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor.

I have many Muslim neighbors and I do fight a sense of worry. Maybe its the language barrier, maybe its who much they keep to themselves, or maybe its what I know about their belief system. I have taken it upon myself to be cordial, even fix their kids bikes from time to time.

When Christ said Love thy neighbor he never said it would be easy..

Hopefully, they will also get fed up with the stupidity of TSA harrassing former governors and medal of honor winners at the airports, and spend a little more time on more probable suspects.

They (muslims) have to first be humans!

You are not keeping up with current events!

These cult nuts are trying to destroy western civilization.

Only 4 in 10? I was expecting at least 6 in 10.

An additional 4 in 10 probably lied because they did not want to appear politically incorrect.

Not all Muslims believe in killing all non believers either.

Well, it might be helpful if some of them spoke up once in awhile. The silence is deafening.

The only way we can authoritatively say that x number of people are y is if we have concrete proof or can see in to their intentions and soul.

I can't say 90% are non-extremists anymore than you can say that 90% are. But we should not be indicting a whole group of people solely on their belief system. If they play by the rules and behave, I see no reason why they should be bothered.

What I'm saying is that people of all faiths are sinners. There are bad people and good people but all our guilty.

With a 50% divorce rate in this country.. a Christian nation.. don't sit here and act like we are better people. Because we aren't.

I'm not giving a free pass to anyone. I'm saying everyone deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt. Just as I shouldn't be judging those that have gotten a divorce. I won't judge others just by their religion.

Oh I'm sorry. Since the Constitution is the basis of all law here in American. Every person is called to defend it.

I guess by your comments I should understand you to mean that you don't care for our Constitution at all and since you are an average American you would be happy to rip apart any part of the Constitution.

Conservatives don't have feelings?

I guess based on your prior post you don't think so.

Perhaps you don't love anyone? Maybe you need a hug.

I have shot, gutted, skinned, butchered, smoked and eaten not one but two feral hogs in my lifetime.

Trust me? =)

Damn fine eating, too, I might add.

Perhaps an unfair assumption but I was talking to the people on this board. Most of Free Republic people are Conservative Republican Christians.

Apparently by your comments you are just as "subhuman" as they are.

That was a poll taken in late July. I suspect the results would be quite different today.

Who do you want to win the war of terrorism. Us or the terrorists. You get the choice. I do too. I've said we ought to expel all the Muslims and this problem will recede because they won't be here at all. Muslims have provem themselves to be incapable of living in civilized society. So we can just choose to live apart from them. What's wrong with that. Would you invite an ax murderer into your home?

So, most of them are wrong, according to you. Wrong in what way? Wrong about what?
