Can you not read? Are you incapable of reason? The point is, if anyone choses verses from a book (any book!!) as single sentences (ie. verses) one can argue any point one wishes. And, why is it that you are demanding that I limit myself from which section of the bible I may chose from, and you don't feel compelled to limit your selection? I am not islamic, and am not defending Islam. My point is that this sign is an abuse of the freedom of speech, designed for the single purpose of insulting a group of people. I do believe that our counstitution garantees freedom of religon, and forbids discrimination based upon religon. Or is that just when it's convenient?

The heart of the issue is: which will help you bring more people to Christ: spreading hatred or by spreading empathy and understanding. I'm not talking about blindly embracing another religion, I'm talking about being neighbor to those of different faiths. This sign alienates would-be converts.

Or is that not the issue at hand?

Do you disavow the Old Testament? Or do you only accept the book of Daniel because it fits with fundementalist fantasies about the tribulation. Christ was a Jew and preached from the Torah. Christ was the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
