It seems I struck a nerve. Good. Maybe you'll think about your words more carefully before you post them.
Does it not bother you that your own attitude towards Muslims in general is the same attitude that Hitler had towards Jews?
I am often tempted to take that same attitude, but then I realize that most of the people who fought alongside our soldiers in Iraq to defeat the Islamic Insurgency were, in fact, Muslims and I just read that 70% of the people in Afghanistan (a country that is 99.999% Muslim) support the effort of our troops to weed out and kill the Fundamentalist Terror Group in that country, I must conclude that while Islam is by and large a destructive force in the world, that there are Muslims who want to live their lives and be free just like 99.999% of the rest of the people in the world.
This country was founded upon the principle of religious liberty. While you may believe that it was an error by omission, there is not an Islamic exception in the first Amendment just as there is no exception for Jews or Catholics or any other group that has been subject to discrimination in this country in the past.
I know very few Muslims and most of the Muslims I know are doctors who treat Christians and Jews with the same dedication to saving lives that they give to members of their own faith. I guess you guys all think that every Muslim in America is a closet Jihadist. I guess you think that every Muslim in Iraq or Afghanistan is just itching to pull the trigger on one of our troops. I don't know. I do know that the attitude I have seen on this thread towards all Muslims is disturbing. It is eerily reminiscent of the rhetoric that was expressed in my previous post. Maybe we should all sit back and think about this for a second. Can we win elections by singling out Muslims for disparate treatment and suggest that they all should be rounded up and deported or denied the right to worship in accordance with the dictates of their conscience?
The scary thing for me would be if we really were able to win elections by that method. Human nature does not change from generation to generation. We are, as a people, no different in nature than the German people of 1930. They let their hatred of Jews destroy them. Are we going to let our hatred of Muslims destroy us?
You are a liar. Liars have NO credibility. NO ONE HERE EVER SAID ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS. You have absolutely no justification for posting this except in your own twisted mind and you cannot rationalize this by claiming some kind of moral superiority because you have none. You understand? NONE.
Struck a nerve? You are g0dd@mned right it struck a nerve and d@mn you for it. THIS is as immoral and putrid as it gets.
You said, “Does it not bother you that your own attitude towards Muslims in general is the same attitude that Hitler had towards Jews?”
Answer: Jews don’t kill people in the name of God. Muslims 9/11 through undie-bomber do.
You said, “While you may believe that it was an error by omission, there is not an Islamic exception in the first Amendment”
