Just like we didn't use Nazi party members or communist party members when translating communications during war time. PC inclusions of the enemy MUSLIMs so as not to discriminate by religion in planning and communication is stupid at best. Taquiyya is a part of islam that allows a musi to lie about his beliefs if he feels he will be persecuted or not able to carry out his mission. there is no assimilation if it makes you disregard the koran. no one says they have to leave, but would you want a rattle snake sitting/living next to you.
Which one do you want to guard your childrens lives while you work to protect your way of life.
I appreciate your reasoned and articulate reply. I am still learning and while I have a healthy fear and anger at Muslims, I still question how is that feeling compatible with the Muslims we are helping in Iraq and are helping us.
I believe there is a divide in Islam, and if the radicals rule, they will define Islam in the most fundamentalist way and the moderates will be killed with the infidels.
I do not consider my position to come from a PC perspective , however thinking that there are Muslims who may feel American identity as well.
