On November 21 a group of armed protesters surrounded a Irving, Florida, mosque to oppose the pending influx of Syrian refugees and the “Islamization of America.”
Some of the protesters had AR-15 rifles slung across their shoulders while others carried bolt action rifles popular for their long range accuracy. They explained that they were not carrying the weapons for offensive purposes, but to defend themselves in the event that things went badly during the protest.
According to Fox 4, protest spokesman David Wright said, “We are here protesting Syrian refugees coming to America [and] protesting the Islamization of America.” He is convinced that the opposition he and fellow protesters show is “popular” but people “are scared; they are scared to stand up and say anything about it. They are scared to come out to a place like [Irving] and stand in front of a mosque and protest Islam.”

Just asking.
On the flip side, instead of blaming that 40% exclusively, one might ask what conservatives are willing to do the get a conservative through the campaign and elected.Many of them reside on FR - they constantly find fault with our most conservative choices/hopes because they aren't "pure enough" to deserve support.
Our side is every bit as much to blame as the idiots who vote for the Left - they keep telling us why we shouldn't vote for even our best guys and never have a reason why we should vote for someone else or what it takes to win.
Then, they pull a "Blame Bush" move by blaming the Left for the Left's successes despite the fact that they give nothing of themselves to defeat the Left and even tell us why it's best to let the Left win all the big prizes because nobody on our side deserves to be in the WH.
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
There are many “conservatives” who will crawl over rubble to vote for the non-Progressive.
Not everyone will stay home in protest.
It’s the wishy-washy ones who think of themselves as above the fray and too intelligent to be bothered. In other words, closet Progressives who play at conservative and who consider the Constitution to have been written by old, dead white men.
IMHO
Islam is not a religion as you stated in your post. It is, and throughout history proved to be, a repressive form of 8th century government whose goal is world domination through the use of many different tactics including outright war, terror attacks, population infiltration, murder, etc......
Religion of Peace???? Can’t be because it is not a religion. We will defeat Islamic Terrorism when we recognize Islam for what it is, not for what it claims to be. A cult of War dedicated to it’s goal of world subjugation.
You are in a fight man! Don’t bring an olive branch to it.
Yes I ranted.
Let me give a more measured response and address this statement “As long as anyone practices their faith peacefully and doesn’t seek to force it onto others”.
That is a reasonable approach for Christians, and Jews and Buddhists, and even Hindus.
It is not a reasonable approach for any muslims.
Why?
Because ALL muslims, sunni, shia whatever, believe that ALL governments must come under sharia law. Conversion is not really their object - sharia law is. ALL muslims means those who engage in terror, and the guy next door who is seemingly nice and doesn’t beat his wife (something that is perfectly legal under sharia).
Because ALL muslims want ALL governments to fall to sharia - ALL muslims are mortal enemies of ALL other cultures.
Period.
There are no exceptions.
Just different views on how to get there.
So by definition, no muslim can “practice their religion peacefully” because they are working, one way or another, to overthrow Western (and every other) culture.
Referring back to my rant - according to sharia law, if a girl is raped she has to have 3 witnesses that can back up her story. Never going to happen. So what happens in practice, all over the islamic world, is that girls and women, and boys get raped and then get punished for it. In many places the punishment is being gang raped.
Islam is not just a religion, it is also a political system bent on domination. There is no co-existing with it. And historically it has only EVER been eradicated by the use of extreme violence.
So that group didn’t go too far. It didn’t go far enough. But I applaud them for what they did.
IMO.
How z about cutting off all Muslim immigration period?
Their beliefs are not ours, their cult is antithetical to the American way of life.
Period.
