"There is a solution..stop trying to force your version of christianity on me or anyone else."

I have not done what you accuse me of.

"Am I defending their religion...damn rights I am. I believe that freedom of religion is a key...a cornerstone of our own freedoms."

The first two-thirds of the history of our nation would be better defined as a tolerance of religion rather than freedom of religion. It is only the more recent third of our history, beginning in 1925 that states and citizens have been stripped of their constitutional rights by the US Supreme Court, to make laws on the establishment of religion, speech, press and assembly. Only Congress was prohibited by the First Amendment from making such laws. The laws states and citizens had enacted to the point were tolerant. It is only since the courts have stripped these constitutional rights that the forces of religious intolerance have mustered strength.

"The idea of focing others to believe what I believe and taking that freedom away sickens me."

The idea of others forcing their beliefs on anyone sickens me, and their force must be answered with force. To simply allow Muslim violence to continue because they number 1.5 billion is absurd. If sheer numbers determine right from wrong, and with 2.3 billion Christians among their number, your argument based upon numbers is flawed.

But you are equating all Muslims with terror, that's why the 1.5 billion number is so important. There are muslims who go to work worry about who's going to pay the cable bill this month etc...


There are lunatics in every religion. Not all muslims believe that you should convert. Most if not all muslims accept christ as a prophet and respect that.

I know I'm talking to myself here but when people start beliving that their religion is better and or must be forced on others... then we have issues.
