Their children either lose their Islam altogether or decide to be real Muslims.
Word has it the 1st US born group of kids are neither fist nor fowl. In other words; they ain't really "American" in their hearts but ain't "old country" like their legal alien parents. Tho the 2nd US born generation are usually full on "American" at heart.

Not just Muslims, Irish, Chinese, Italians and so on.

I believe is the laws of the US, but law is not cut and dry, but a matter of interpretation. And as we have seen with our own President, laws can be ignored, amended, issued for protected groups, and issued at whim with the ease of signing an Executive Order. Laws can also be manipulated if one knows the law and how to manipulate it. That's why there are lawyers.

I noticed you totally avoided the rest of my post.

And the courts interpret it when it becomes cloudy, not you or I.

If that protester holding the sign saying "Behead the...." is not arrested then nothing comes of it.
But if he is then it's up to a judge to determine if there was cause to arrest him.

Yeah, that's already been discussed and you've already said that multiple times. ALL ARABS ARE WHITE. Sure they are. I think you were trying to say not ALL Muslims are Arab. If that is what you meant, well +1 for you.

Have you missed me???

I'm not familiar with this whole crucifix in a bottle of pee thing. Was that done by a Muslim?

No I didn't avoid it. I'm not familiar enough with their religion to debate it.

I did just read that the Grand Poobah of Islam (Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al al-Sheikh) told them all to "stop punishing the innocent for the crimes of the guilty". He said attacks on the innocent is a distortion of their religion.

So these Muslims are terrorizing innocent people working at the Embassies because of how they "interpret" their religion.

How ironic is that ?

Even their own are in denial that there is a real problem here.




What's that definition of "peace" again?
