"...that they are endowed by Their Creator with certain unalienable rights..."
Quite obvious that you NEVER did. Just another sleeper coming out of the woodwork.
Really interesting just how many accounts these left wing nuts have accumulated here on FR for use in threads like this.
Another sleeper id'd and on the list!
They have to pray that they don't pass gas on the way to pray:

This interesting website: http://www.secularislam.org/testimonies/index.htm contains testimonies of ex-muslims. One of the writers relates how the flatulence rule affected his attitude toward Islam:
Why I left Islam.
One day I was at work and had to wash myself so that I could say my prayers. I made wudu in the restroom and then proceeded to walk a rather long distance to my car where I could say my prayers (the best that I could) sitting in my car at lunch. I almost got to my vehicle when I farted by accident. I thought to myself, "Dammit". So I walked all the way back to the restroom and washed my hands, mouth, nose, face, ears, forearms and wiped some water over my socks. I then walked back to my vehicle and just before I got to my vehicle, I farted again. "Dammit".... I was really discouraged at this point and just stood there for a minute thinking of how could this be. Anyway, as discouraged as I was I retraced my steps all the way back to the restroom and repeated my wudu again. I remember thinking that it was not my hands and face etc. that needed washing but my...well, you know.... So here I go again on the third trip to my car to perform my prayers as best I could given the situation. I thought to myself how stupid this was and that it had nothing to do with God. It had to do with Islam having more control over me than I did. As I got closer to my vehicle, I couldn't stop laughing about what had just happened. I was wondering if God was really watching me. Was he laughing right now. I know I was. I got in my car and said my prayers because I do believe in God. I did not apologize but rather appreciated some of the most sincere humor that I had experienced in a long time. I have Islam to thank for that. Or maybe it was just God or an Angel having a little fun with me. Most likely, it was my breakfast. I have concluded that I don't really know anything at all about God and neither does anyone else. I choose to believe in God because I guess that I need to. I believe that there is more to this life than just me. There is You. I will treat you as best I can and that my friend will be a deed that I will take with me wherever I go even be it beyond the grave if possible. It will be my testimony to my faith. I believe in me and I believe in you. I also believe there is more to us than we can really understand but between us, we can try. I no longer regiment myself to disciplined prayer nor do I go to the mosque anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love the good side of prayer and Islam but the bad side which we all know is making a hyprocicy of the good. I cannot do that. My God won't let me. I still pray but by myself and I have revised some of the things that I pray for. Mainly I only say Al Fatiha and ask for forgiveness for my sins and mercy on my judgement which I believe in. I pray for no prophets lineage above anyone else and I pray for no punishment on anyone. I do pray for the good things that I have received in my life including that which came from the Quran. I hope that you will find some humor in my message and also if you can, try to see some goodness in it too. I am only here until I am not, just like you. In the meantime, this laugh is on me.
Mr. Wudu

This FR thread is also enlightening:

And they have the gall to even think the word "intolerant" towards us? ...perhaps they just are referring to the effects of our cuisine on our gastrointestinal tract and we can just discuss this and solve all our interculteral problems?!?!?! :)
Conversely we could just train our troops to eat the right stuff and pass more gas and this war on terror might be accelerated? Especially if we can get the enemy on the right diet?
Whoa! He called me "primative" and I'm just going to have to find the nearest Socialist re-education camp and check myself in right now!
Love Muslims! Love homosexuals! Love drugs! Love everything and respect anything but White males and myself! Whatever the current DNC freak babbles is the 100% truth! Michael Jackson could not possibly have diddled the kiddies because he used to be black and donates a lot to loony left causes!!!
Do I get a few extra points on the first water torture test in the re-ed camp?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Please! Chairman Mao! HELP ME!
Socialism and its offspring are indeed mental diseases.
Those who have not read it should use the links and backtrack!
Facinating analysis of an attempt at disinformation attempting to discredit the US. Lets face it, the forces against the US brand of Freedom are clever are not above using propaganda in the same manner as the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joeseph Goebbles.
The Wahabbi Sect of Islam - The New Totalitarism. Unfortunately, its not just the wahabbis. They are just the leaders we need to deal with - and quickly.
Why? FREE SPEECH applies to ALL and not just to you and your causees?
That goofy old twist and spin of yours does not work any more. Don't like it? Too bad. GET USED TO IT.
And when the "Fresno Human Rights for anyone who is not white Commission" starts looking at MECHA and the various other hate groups that operate without hinderance in public and government circles perhaps your false outrage might have some merit.
Perhaps it is time for YOU to understand that FREE SPEECH does not just apply to YOU and YOUR causes.
Hehehehe. "Chad" must be the local ACLU control. I just LOVE the way these left wing nuts work and they way they always use ID's designed to inject "inclusion" with the groups they are working.
Who cares who your daddy was if you are a left wing propagandist.
All I did was ping Chad, which you neglected to do.
What kind of fruitcake responds to a simple courtesy ping by accusing someone of being a "left wing propagandist"? Get some help. Or prescription drugs. Or something.
As America becomes more diverse, we'll hear more of Islam. Nothing wrong with that.
Wow! Really? Just like before WWII the >>>LEFT<<< was trying to shove HITLER down our throats? Just like that? We need MORE of ISLAM because the LEFT SAYS SO?
Don't think so. The "big lie" does not work in America anymore. GET USED TO IT. We see the TRUTH and you will blinder us no more.
Why on earth would you think I would have any desire to ping your ACLU buddy?
No drugs. Just facts.
I didn't think you'd have any desire to ping him. It would take a stand-up guy to do that, and you were being cowardly. That's why I did it for you - the right thing to do and all that.
