I understand why though; it’s the thought that the federal government can protect us from evil, even evil religions, and can reasonably distinguish between good and bad religion.

I’m betting most of them have never had to work with a muslim, may not know any muslims, certainly would never vote for a muslim. A few think all muslims should be thrown out of the military, and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone here at FR thinks muslims should be thrown out of the country.

Meanwhile, we just nominated a muslim in virginia for a state delegate race. And yes, some people opposed him because he was muslim (he wasn’t in my district, so I was just an observer).

But the real problem here at FR isn’t that some people want to argue about the danger of islam — that’s just good discussion. It’s that you can’t actually DISCUSS it, because as soon as you try, they just call you names and act as if merely considering the subject is a sign of evil.
