Featured Rattlesnakes?

Look, we can either have a country that upholds religious freedom, or we can have what the British had back in 1776.

At the point that the government starts saying there will only be one recognized religion, whether it be islam or someone's particular brand/flavor of Christianity, I'll lead the revolt myself.

So what do you want, OR? You want a theocratic government that only recognizes Christianity? Or do you want to say only muslims are not allowed?

 

Good grief, are you serious? Did you bump your head, do you need a doctor?

How can you say the things you've said about Muslims and wonder why I think you're opposed to, religious freedom for all?

You can't be for freedom, if you want to single out one group for their beliefs and exclude them.

You have said Islam isn't a religion, guess what, you doing get to decide what is allowed. That I have to explain that is shameful...for you.

 

I can produce the opening post, and nearly every post you've made since then, that indicate you don't want people who practice islam in this country. I even posted a refutation of the opening post, which you ignored.

If we support religious freedom, we don't get to pick which religions we don't want. There is no "religious freedom except for ____ ."

 

Thanks Don.

No right thinking, sensible individual would read what you have said in this thread and ever think you are sold out, 100% to religious freedom for all.

Your attempts at nuance and hair splitting have failed miserably. You want to support bigoted policies, fine, go ahead, that is your choice. Don't however insult the intelligence of this board by saying bigoted things and then try and tell us that isn't what you said or that what you said isn't bigoted, when clearly it is.

OR - in my refutation of your opening post, I didn't call you racist. The article you quoted in your opening post was bordering on racist.

Consider the points I made. In order for that article's analogy to be correct, then all middle easterners must all be muslim, and all have the same mentality and goals.

If you say that all muslims believe exactly the same, then you ignore that there are different factions of muslims, just as there are of Christians. If you still insist that all muslims are the same, then you are fulfilling the definition of "racist."

And you seem to continue to avoid the fundamental point: do YOU want to say our country exercises freedom of religion -- except for certain religions?

 

While Islam escapes as a nominal religion, it is a temple of doom that mutilates women almost universally and has a barbarian set of laws that automatically make Islam guilty of crimes against humanity and human rights abuse.

Here in central Indiana, Islam operates the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) as an alleged think tank but it is really an umbrella organization and a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, a child of Islam and Nazism.

 

The sweeping generalizations, the bigotry, the misinformation - just wow!

 

The entire opening post was analogizing muslims with rattlesnakes, with the clear concept that all rattlesnakes are alike.

I would normally agree, because I have no love for our current administration; however, it was announced late last week that there is now an Administration effort to award purple hearts to the victims of Fort Hood. You don't award purple hearts for workplace violence. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice to see this administration finally acknowledge, even if not publicly, that Fort Hood wasn't just dissatisfaction with working conditions.

Agreed.

So how can you open this post by saying that you've never said all muslims are the same, and neither did the OP; and then right here say "send them all back" ?!? (and the logical fallacy of that statement is, how many of them were born here in America, so there's nowhere to send them back to....)

You're contradicting yourself.

I can agree with this.

But your histrionics regarding muslims, to the point of ignoring the freedoms and very foundations our forefathers fought and died for, require me to observe that your comments closely resemble the very thing liberals are guilty of: allowing our viewpoints to be governed by emotions.

 

HB....least ya haven't equated them with Damn Yankees (YET)!!! :laugh:

Just joking ya brother!

 

You are correct. The term I should be using is "bigotry."

 

There is a difference between not agreeing with someone's theology and wishing to send someone "back home" because of their theology.
