    This shoulfnt stop us from identifying a real issue and its scope across the world. All it does is prevent having an honest discussion.

    honest discussion is possible without resort to bigotry.

    I refer for example to this statement "I think Islam hates us."

    Were they hassled?

    We know they killed a lot of people by suicide, which you have no defense against. You can't hide or run, you just get blown to pieces.

    This does not add up. Change your doctrine, allow other religions and not force anyone. My Muslim friends respect my religion and hate when the radicals sour their name. For the most part they cannot do a damn thing about it. All religions should be respected. I don't like what they do to women and gays but hey, that is their religion.

    I am not Catholic but they are changing theirs now by weeding out all the creepy priests. They are changing. They ask that I convert and I politely say no and they go on their merry way.

    If you read what I wrote there is no assertion that any particular person was hassled. My point was a general one about Muslims like the rest of us wanting to live our lives without being hassled.

    I think we can all agree that's bad. My point is that most Muslims dont engage in such things.

    The problem is that the ones that do are in the tens of millions.

    And you are right. The ones I know wish they could get rid of it, but the problem is they keep doing it and it brings a blight on that religion.

    Back when Ireland had a lot of religious issues, it died out for the most part Christian on Christian, because they decide it is not going to work out and work together.

    Now I had to intervene a few times with my Muslims friends when they treated their wives bad in front of me, one almost into a confrontation that he would lose. He knew it. She ended up getting a divorce which you can't do with many countries not the US at all.

    I've mentioned this before several times even on Scout when it was Scout.

    If muslim zealots aren't bombing innocents they are forcing their women to dress in plastic bags. Change my mind.

    Sorry Goldy, they do this. Their religion decries it. A lot of them don't agree and we must appeal to them but the sword, knife or gun is more powerful than the word. We need to be afraid. We can control our own and we know they would not just blow themselves up. Yeah, shoot up a school or whatnot and they might not even be Christian but at least people have a chance to hide or evade. Suicides, no chance at all unless lucky.

    CIA/FBI got most of the mosques on lockdown. It would be tough to do and if you even think about getting bombs or material, you will be on radar in minutes.

    And be for you all say it, when a Christian in a vest blows up a school, church or bus, it would be the first in the US. McVeigh was going after government and heard not a Christian anymore when he'd done it. If anything he was closest to a Scientologist the closest thing to his religion he believed in. Now trying obtain material to make those weapons is kind of hard.

    But the most important point is that we mostly safe in the US from this as Muslims outside of bureaucrats are nice and courteous people and we should see them as such. They are not going to be snobby like some Catholics I know or Baptists or any other Protestant faiths.

    They actually slipped this one in on me and actually used it for a while before I heard the "almost hidden message" towards the end. You guys see what you think.
