I have said repeatedly that we are free to worship as we please in this country, provided we adhere to our nations' laws

You mean like John Mohammed DC sniper, and Sheik Rahman of Patterson NJ, who blew up the World Trade Center the first time, and a majority of the population of the prison system?

You are allowed to be a practicing Mormon in this country, but not allowed to break the laws regarding bigamy.

You are allowed to be a Rastaffarian in this country, but not allowed to break the laws against possesing and using marijuana.

You are allowed to be a Satanist in this country, but not allowed to break laws against murder to enact ritual human sacrifices.

You seem to advocate outlawing entire religions based on the actions of the few.

This country is about religious freedom, and individual rights/responsibilities.

If you kill, for whatever reason, you alone stand indicted.

Well, I havn't heard anything about John Mohammed doing this in the name of Allah - if you have, I'd like to have some verification please.

Sheik Rahman was an extremist. A terrorist. He'd have been a psychopath regardless of hie religion, not because of it.

And as far as the prison thing, most people in prison who are Muslims are not in prison because they committed crimes in the name of Allah - they converted while in prison - just like others "find God" while in prison.
