Yes...You've made your hatred of Islam quite clear.

You are still embracing ignorance. This had nothing to do with "hatred". If Islam were merely some religious belief that espoused silly irrational doctrines or demanded that its followers perform certain generally harmless duties (wear certain clothing, don't eat certain foods, whatever), then I would have no problem with it.

But the beliefs of Islam do not fall into that category; it is a "religion" that demands that its followers do me harm, both to my fundamental rights as well as to my actual body if I do not submit to its beliefs. Your mind appears to be so muddled that you cannot grasp the pertinence of that distinction. When a religion demands that its followers "kill the infidels wherever you find them", that religion is a threat. When a religion demands that the United States government, the most progressive foundation of law to have ever graced this planet, be overthrown and replaced with a regressive system of oppressive theocratic rule (sharia law), then that religion is a threat; not only to me personally but to the national security of all of us, in spite of your foolish rejection of historical facts.

Again...I'll side with President Bush

Now you have gone from argumentum ad ignorantiam to argumentum ad verecundiam. Both are logical fallacies, and poor substitutes for thinking.
