By the way....now I'm a bigot since I don't support those who wish to destroy my country either from within or from abroad.

You're not always so PC...why on this one?

I'm a hard right non-pious Christian southerner with a stay at home wife and 4 kids whose holy trinity is basically RKBA, militantly anti-abortion, culture war and aggressive self defense and foreign policy and lower taxation thrown in for good measure. (major support for Israel too..but not for religious reasons)

What melts yer butter. Help me understand specifically.

Okay.

In plain terms: We all hate Terrorism, certainly. These people are evil and they should be punished. From Tim McVeigh right on down to the 9/11 jihadders. There's no argument there from me. No equating Christianity with Islam and no excuses being made for terrorists of any stripe. None, nada, fin.

However, a certain poster (whom I won't name) has been calling all over the forum for systematic oppression and a "ban" on peaceful Muslims. There are thousands of these people who go about their daily lives without harming a fly.

That bothers me. I cannot, as a Christian justify oppressing old women and good men, like the tipster who saved Private Jessica Lynch, simply because they worship a false God.

I don't see any moral justification for it. Nor religious justification, nor do I find anything in the Constitution to promote this notion.

I think it's wrong headed and just dangerous to begin calling for wholesale religious persecution to (possibly) nail a few bad apples.

As a Christian Conservative, I just can't buy into this..
