OK, I’ll bite. Are we supposed to DISRESPECT Americans if they are Muslim?

[ClearBlueSky]

Can I answer?
YES.
I disrespect anyone whose belongs to a group that believes our way of life and freedoms should end, and all should be subservient to Islam.
If you’re black, it’s sensible to disrespect white supremacists.
If you’re Jewish, you certainly don’t have to respect those of the Nazi mentality.
Why is Islam different?
To be a Muslim is to oppose everything that ‘American’ means.
I disrespect anyone belonging living an enemy ideaology.
Chertoff’s line of thinking would never have existed in WW2.
American Muslim is like vegetarian cannibal.
Disrespect. Shun. Oppose.Reject.

I'll bite back.

This American disrespects them, every one.

They embrace a psudeo-religious creed that fundamentally and irrevocably opposed to everything we of The West embrace as freedom.

I will consider "respecting" American Muslims who renounce Islam for another faith. Then, and ONLY then, will I be able to trust or respect them.

Sorry if you don't like that, but that's the way it is with me.

I will go so far as to say, that it is also that way for a considerable number of other posters in this forum.

No! Never should we disrespect Americans who are Muslims. Being politically correct is far more important than our survival. And it makes us feel sooo good too. Right up to the very instant that those idiots blow themselves to hell and the crowd they blow up among to Kingdom come.
