Sorry. A person's personal religious beliefs are no longer respected in this country. After all, we're at waaahhrrr!

Right, the government should compromise and say that if he has an artist do a miniature portrait and submit it with an affidavit of accuracy of image since a photograph is so inconvenient to his religion. Or here's an idea, he could stay in Canada where he won't have to make a picture excuse.

Since there is such a worry about freedom of religion - how long until a Muslim sues the government saying that the War on Terror is interfering with his religious right to follow the Koran and kill Christians and Jews.

After all, they just want to practice their religion freely - what's a few hundred corpses when it comes to religious freedom.

You have got to be kidding. A peaceful people that limit contact with outsiders are lumped in with Islam? I don't think so. They don't use our schools or SS and take care of themselves. Do you really want to be so paranoid. If Islamists pose as Amish they will really stand out. Camels pulling a buggy will be a dead giveaway.

his religious right to follow the Koran and kill Christians and Jews.

A very small percentage believe this - probably the same percentage of "Christians" who advocate killing Jews and Muslims, and the same percentage of Jews who want the "next holocaust" to include Christians and Muslims. These people do not represent the majority of their respective religions.

Who is the real threat to our liberties? I would feel much safer with an Arab living next door to me than a Homeland Security officer.

I doubt this guy's sincerity. How can you have an INTERNATIONAL relationship with just a horse and buggy? Just trot poor ol' Ed down I-95 and I-from Pennsylvania to Canada? He probably "cheated" in some way to get that far, he can "cheat" on the photograph.

If we let him get away with this all the terrorists will claim it's against their religion to be photographed, fingerprinted, etc.
