I believe that requires me to respect the fact that people can worship how they choose.

So you would have no problems with an Aztec priest cutting out the heart of a living virgin to appease the sun god, lest the sun not rise tomorrow? You are not faced with this choice today because good Christian men saw it for what it was -- as evil, and they destroyed it.

From the Friday November 1st 2002 sermon of Sheikh Yousef Al-Qardhawi:

"Allah, bring us the victory over your enemies, the enemies of Islam. Allah, remove their trap from us, weaken them, eradicate their countries and banish their regimes from your land. Do not let them reach any of your believers. Allah, deal with the aggressive and treacherous Jews. Allah, deal with the aggressive Americans. Allah, deal with the extremist pagans. Allah, deal with the oppressing Crusaders."

From The Saudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-'Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Fahd Defense Academy:

"… We will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it. Yes, the Christians, who carve crosses on the breasts of the Muslims in Kosovo - and before then in Bosnia, and before then in many places in the world - will yet pay us the Jiziya [poll tax paid by non-Muslims under Muslim rule], in humiliation, or they will convert to Islam…"

Fortunately, we live in a country where we have laws that prevent sacrifices, however our inner cities sure seem like killing fields. If a person commits a crime then there should be swift judgement. I don't agree with their religion so why would I want to act like some of their radicals do. We allowed in office people who have allowed these things to happen.

It was the American people who invited different people and religions in and just how many Christian stood up and against the ever so popular previous president, who made a mockery of this country and the Word. I recall some famous Reverends looking the other way, not just one or two but many and doing so publicly.

Why did Christians in America allow a pervert to be their president not once but twice, and now after damage is done refuse to see that they allowed perversion among their midst. This country seems to have basic problems it likes to over look. Honest elections, honest politicians and honest men of God. Unless and until a person is in the act of planning a crime, just because of his/or her religion is not cause enough to destroy he or she.

Seems to me that had this country has enough Christians to call on the carpet for their own sins. I thought this discussion was what Christians should do, not what is government responsibility, oh, but of course Christians allow what goverment we get and why isn't there wrath against those who have allowed these problems to come here.

So just what is your answer? What would you do?

This brings to mind the joking comment by Clinton that he would have asked for a date with the good-looking mummy of a sacrificed maiden, if he weren't a married man.

Juanita met President Clinton. In 1996 she visited the United States where she met President Clinton at a dinner in Stamford, Connecticut. He reportedly said, "If I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy!" According to the Associated Press, Peruvian scientists at the time called his remark "tasteless."
