We will in fact find that our political correctness and our tolerance will become our undoing.
I posted a similar thought on a thread yesterday!
I will repeat again...the ACLU and the leftist liberals are as much an enemy of this Country as Islam is.
First off - let me say I have known and worked with and liked personally many Muslims and that while I haven't read the Quran, I have done some reading on Islam written by Muslims. Those writings were positive toward Islam, I read with an open mind thinking Islam wasn't necesarily bad, just that it had some bad followers. After reading that,I subsequently changed my mind - and although there are some aspects which are OK, I think the basic tenets of the religion are deeply flawed and potentially dangerous. Unfortunately, we've only seen some of this potential danger realised - there's a lot more scary potential left untapped. So in summation, I don't like Islam, at all.
On the other hand... I don't agree that "our tolerance" will be our undoing. Rather than taking a religious stance, I rather support the freedoms and liberties that Western society has - some of this the result of Enlightenment thinking, some of this the result of the Protestant struggle.
When we deny liberties to others, we deny them to ourselves. If we support the extension of fundamentalist Christian views onto society at large (e.g. denying others choices based on someone else's doctrine), then we are giving aid and succor to fundamentalist Islam.
I see two distinct, but entangled threats to my liberties and freedoms. 1. The growing tide of fundamentalist Islam. 2. The reactionary elements of the Christian right who seek to deny me many of the same liberties that fundamentalist Islam would, e.g. free speech, freedom to live my life largely by my own moral code (within the law), freedom to NOT worship and freedom to seek the truth as I see it based on science and empirical, rational objectivity.
