What in the world is the difference? You think he's going to actually say Constitution? LOL!

Now, you should know better than to believe all of what Hannity says. Especially cherry picked quotes.

Tsk, tsk.
Hate to disappoint you, but I very rarely listen to Hannity, Beck, Rush or Fox News. I read the news. So, if Hannity is saying the same thing and viewing it like I did, maybe it's because it's only obvious.

Oh, so Rauf says they want to judge themselves with Sharia. That means the Constitution is out for them. Hmmmm.... Big red flag!

False, Islam views Christians and Jews as followers of the same one true God and accepts the same laws that were handed down by Abraham, Moses and even Jesus. All are prophets like Mohammed and deserve the same praise and respect. In the Levant which includes Lebanon, Syria and Palestine roughly 40 % of the population was Christian and the the first Jews returned to the Holy Land during the time of the Caliphates. When the Crusaders came many Christians were killed by these Roman Christians because they happened to be eastern rite Christains. Byzantines, Greeks, Armerian, Chaldean, Maronite and Copts. Christians following the Roman rite viewed those in the eastern churches as being heretics who followed Satan. They also had the same negative view of Jews. Not surprisingly when Saladin lead his army to drive the Crusader invaders out of Palestine about a third of his troops were Christian fighting to reclaim their homes.

Al-Qaeda evolved from the Maktab-al-Khidamat also known as Al-Kifah. There was feuding going on no matter under what name since the beginning of time, as was slavery.

What I have seen happen from past history is that America, in trying to fight Communism, sided with the Muslims only to grow a worse giant. So they couldn't win for losing.

But, my main point is that America was not the only people engaged in slavery in the world. The Muslims, Indians, etc. were doing their thing as well. And really, the Bible didn't teach against it, so I can see why there were two sides to the fight. The Bible only instructed the slaves to honor their masters and the masters to treat their slaves well. Thankfully, it is no longer a part of our country and I have to also thank William Wilberforce for his hard work in England.

Well, that is really what the whole discussion is really about, but the Liberals keep skirting the issue and pointing to "religious freedom" and "racism" in order not to address the pertinent questions. The MSM is doing a fine job of keeping every head turned so that we can't see the man behind the curtain. But, that's par for the course.

Good lord, do you know anything about world history and the bloody part muslims have played in it? The peaceful, tolerant, loving religion of muslims has slaughtered more people throughout history than virtually any other.
