This is the exact opposite of what we need. All it will do is feed the fire and get people riled up and want to go to war again, that way we can waste even more money on a battle we obviously don't know how to win.
Also, I won't argue that Islam is a religion of hate. But I've also read the Bible. Islam is not alone in being a religion of hatred and violence and I really grow tired of people acting like it is. Conservatives speak about Islam being shielded by PC. Fine. Christianity is open to abuse then to. Basically all religions that originate from the Middle East come from the same hateful, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, and authoritarian ideas. They are religions of hate and I support being against political correctness. Stop religions from influencing people. This means Islamic extremism and conservative Christians. They're all poison and so incredibly unintelligent.
The New Testament is not a religion of hatred and violence. Quite the opposite.
I'll bet they are still lower than anti-Semitic hate crimes.
And then dumb bigots go beat up or kill Sikhs because they think they're Muslim, because they actually believe Muslims all wear turbans. Or there was the time someone beat up a Greek Orthodox priest because they thought they were Muslim. Many Americans are too stupid and dangerous to get riled up.
To say that I dislike what some Muslims do, would be an understatement.
That being said, I don't want to see anti Islam signs on busses. We don't need to incite religious wars here inside the US. The arguments need to be conducted elsewhere, not on trains or buses.
Besides, what would these signs achive? Nothing, but unnecessary tensions. I also don't want reminders of Hitler.
Bottom line: conflicts involving ethnic groups and religions should not be posted on busses.
It'd be better if it was just anti-religion, period, if you're gonna go that way.
"It's about time" alright, for people to realize that for all the good religion (of any culture) can and has done on the micro scale, in the big picture it is nothing but a plague and something it's time for us to grow up and out of.
No they don't. Since when is equal rights the same as more rights? I guess only in the mind of a conservative.
They do get equal rights.
Why should they be allowed to have their DL picture taken with their veil? That's over and above equal rights.
Why do they deserve meat in school cafeterias prepared according to Muslim law? That's over.
Why should they be exempted from doing their job as a cashier? Over.
