Thanks for the link, I would like to study up on that.
Don't get me wrong, I for one do not hate Muslims, or believe they should be persecuted. I believe they should be treated as fairly as anyone else in this country. I just don't believe they should have special treatment like what has been going on sense 911. Its the religion of Islam that scares me.And I can say confidently that it was inspired by satan. I pray for those in bondage to it .When I have had the opportunity to speak to Muslims I see how dedicated to their faith they are. Knowing more about that faith scares me. I realize that to really believe in that faith, they must not have a honest love for the freedom our nation stands for, and where is their heart when we are at war with Muslims. Some my son has worked with justified 911, while claiming to be peaceful.
I pray for anyone in bondage to any religion, even some of those calling themselves Christian. Usually these religions are led by some narcissistic whacked out man who adds to, or takes away from the scriptures.(gets further revelation, etc..) I believe Christ died to set us free. He only is the author, and finisher of that freedom. There has been many horrible things done in the name of the Christian religion, but that doesn't mean it’s the real Christian church.

"I just don't believe they should have special treatment like what has been going on since 911."

I don't see any special tratment of Muslims. Please expound.

"Its the religion of Islam that scares me."A better, and more exact statement would possibly be: "It is the extremist's version of Islam that scares me.", that's what scares me. The other 99% of Muslims do not.

"And I can say confidently that it was inspired by satan."

Imagine how easy it could be for someone else to say the same about the Church of the Latter Day Saints, or any other non-mainstream belief. Learn more about Islam before you go condemning all Muslims based on the actions of some radicals who are trying to goad a religious war between billions of people. The day that we declare war on Islam, we declare war on not only semites, but native-born Americans as well, not only that, but the majority of Muslims are in Indonesia, not in Arab countries.

"Knowing more about that faith scares me."

Beware propagandists from any side of an issue.

"There has been many horrible things done in the name of the Christian religion, but that doesn't mean it’s the real Christian church."

The very same can be said for Islam. The actions of the few are not representative of the many.

Thanks for the response.
