I know what they believe and I defend their right to believe it if they can do so without criminal activity.

Remedy, tell me how many religions in the world you do agree with? The concept of religious freedom does not allow us to pick and choose a persons beliefs no matter how crazy they seem to us. I believe in that freedom.

You and I share the same basic religious beliefs, but the salvation we know is a free gift that we could take or leave. If it is not freely chosen it is meaningless. Christianity is perfectly compatable with religious freedom. Islam may not be but as long as they stay within the law they're entitled to those beliefs. We can't play thought and religion police if we want to protect our own religious freedoms. That's my point.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…." I have yet to read where anyone is advocating Congress to legislate against ISLAM. Again, it's the ISLAMIC countries that play thought and religion police against Christians.
