I expect to have to make some sacrifices for my religious beliefs.

Interesting observation. The majority of people want to have equal outcomes for very different choices. The fact is, not all decisions are equal and some will result in a wide variety of outcomes.

This is not a Muslim issue BTW - it happens every day in our lives. We all make personal decisions about a multitude of issues and if my choices don't lead to as fufilling of a life as perhaps someone else has, it's not up to the government to make it level.

Rough ol' world sometimes

Well put.

I would love to have everyone embrace my faith as I do, but the fact is that's just not going to happen. My faith is certainly strong enough to withstand the buffeting that comes from those of other faiths.

I am content to let eternity sort it all out. I happen to feel I serve a God who is able to get along without having to make sure that I'm not exposed to any other gods. My heart goes out to someone who worships a god whose powers are such that they lose their efficacy when exposed to a cross or some other symbol of another belief system.
