Anyway, I have a hard time finding the Muslim prohibition against the consumption of alchohol to be all that offensive when applied by individuals rather than at the state level. I think this country would benefit from a culture of responsible drinking or even one of abstention. After all, look what happens to spider's web building when exposed to drugs or alchohol.

That would be a valid point if their intent was that simplistic. Unfortunately their goal is far greater than merely banning alcohol. Their goal is to enforce Sharia law. They know it would be impossible to enforce all at once so they will settle for incremental ism.

If your goal is to boil the frog you don't put it in a pot of hot water otherwise it will jump out. Instead you place it in cool water and slowly turn up the heat. The frog will not realize the difference until it is too late. Muslims are attempting the same strategy in this country.

Good observation. Same applies to Keith Ellison and his Muslim wrecking crew. They want to have every Muzz swearing on their damnable Koran whether in court or a Congressional hearing. Muzz are cruising for a lawsuit the first time they are denied

Jihad and expansion of Sharia can be fast and violent or take place slowly as in the USA

Muslim imams support sharia, and I'm sure that a lot of Muslims support it. What I'm not sure of is that the majority of Muslims in this country will support it generations down the line. Our country is good at assimilating foreign cultures. Your slippery slope argument may be relevant, but at 1% of the population, I'm not yet worried about it.
