As the clash of civilizations between the Free West and Sharia Islam heats up once again we find that some libertarians are more interested in fighting the heirs of Charles Martel than they are the heirs of Mohammed.

The old story of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Having a largely engineering and science background, I had to look up who Charles Martel was. French king, lived in the 6th century. So, no, my argument was not centered around getting back at the French.

"...The Free West..."

What makes it "Free"? What does it mean to be "Free"? The arguments offered in favor of this law inevitably lead to:

"All Citizens Must Dress in a Manner that does not interfere with the State's Surveillance System."

"All Citizens Are Required To Remove Any Article of Clothing at the Behest of A Law Enforcement Official in the Interests of Security"

Yeah, that sounds "Free" to me.

Laws written to "take an inch" are used to "take a mile" when it suits the purposes of those who are in power.

I would bet that nearly every one on this board is in favor of Concealed Carry of Firearms. Even so, listen to the very words used IN THIS THREAD by our very own:

"She ... could ... start shooting the crowd with that gun she’s carrying..." - Jack Hydrazine

How long before some anti-second amendment LEO's start targeting folks OTHER than muzzies once such a law is passed?

I said it earlier, and I will say it again: Be Careful What You Wish For, You Might Actually Get It.

couldn’t have said it better Pelham.

Some people think this is a school yard fight where there are rules. One side is not playing by the rules and is ruthless. It’s an all out street fight and the boy scouts here in the US and overseas are getting beaten to an inch of their life.

Destroy the enemies here and over their, then good men can go back to being fair minded.

Until then, if anyone wants to gripe, no problem. Just stay out of the way.
