American-born converted Muslim

This is what bugs me about this un-American B*TCH. She's not even the real deal. You know what B*TCH - if you don't like our laws here, go on over to Iraq or Saudi - see how you like their treatment of women. Sorry for the rant - this "person" has been dragging this on for way too long.

Couldn't you find a better way to comment on her argument than simply resort to name-calling? You have shown no grounds for your contempt, so you resort to attacking her. And how is she not the "real deal"? What makes her un-American? The fact that she is Muslim? Oh, sorry...last time I checked this WAS a free country, and one of the fundamental ideologies that this very nation was founded on was RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. So what makes the "real deal" then? Must she be a Christian to get respect? OK, then how come, according to the Naples Daily News, "Courts have ruled that fundamental Christians who have religious prohibitions against having their picture taken can get licenses without one", yet it is appalling for this MUSLIM woman to have her license with a picture that covers her face? If they are going to make her do it their way, why not make everyone else have full photos on their IDs the same way? How is that NOT discrimination? According the the ACLU, what she is asking for is not something granted strictly for religious purposes either: "Convicted drunk drivers with revoked licenses are legally allowed to drive in Florida using only driving permits without photos, as are foreign nationals, those who failed their eye or written exams, and military personnel." Oh, OK, so they want to tell me that this AMERICAN MUSLIM MOTHER is more dangerous on the road than a convicted drunk driver or someone who failed their eye exam? That this AMERICAN-BORN WOMAN is more of a threat than a random foreign national would be?

It's attitudes like this that make Americans so hated in the global community.
