[i]I have studied the middle east and Islam. I know many Muslims. I would wager you are either one of them practicing Taqqiyah here or you are an appeasing limp-wrist who throws inane challenges at the beliefs of others when lacking his own personal knowledge.[/i]
I am neither a muslim nor a ‘limp wrist’. I am a strong advocate of a powerful, well-funded military and of using to if neccessary to set an example for others who would dare to challenge us.
However, I like to think I am not a bigot, and I do not advocate wholesale discrimination against muslims just because some of them are terrorists, any more than I would advocate discrimination against men just because some of them are rapists...
In the world of liberalism, bigotry is the greatest sin. You are outting yourself. Again, you seek moral equivalence. If there was a religion for which rape was holy writ, guess what... I would suspect all men of that religion to be potential rapists--or enablers. That is a more accurate analogy.
