The local cleric handed me literature which bashed Christianity and was nothing but paranoid hate-filled propaganda.

Kinda like the Tony Alamo stuff printed up about Catholics, I'll bet.

Name me one country where Muslims have come to power and they haven't oppressed other religions and/or minorities.

That's because they could. They can't do that in the United States; we have a Constitution.

Tony Alamo was a cult leader and herectic who was never considered a part of mainstream Christianity (his minions used to hand out flyers at Protestant Christian events trying to "get us saved"... Read some of his stuff... Real loon there). Can the same be said for CAIR?

That's because they could. They can't do that in the United States; we have a Constitution.

Yeah, that's really worked with liberal activist judges, hasn't it?

And on the larger point:  When Protestant Christians had the chance to form their own government, we gained a Constitution.  It is my belief (which history bears brute witness to) that when Muslims are given the chance to form their own government, despotisms come to power.  Belief systems really do matter.

The only exception we have seen thus far are the beginnings of democracy in Iraq, and that only at the behest and intervention of the United States.  Let's hope and pray that they make good use of it.

Unfortunately, I have to sign off.  Finals tomorrow and some paper to be finished.  Darn.  I really hate school.
