Should we give islam the same freedoms that any religion in America enjoys? It would certainly appear to be a political system first, and a religion second.

It is both, is it not? This is what I don't understand at all concerning most liberals thinking about Islam as a whole. Alot seem to have no problem bashing and vilifying Christianity and Christians in the media and on a personal basis. Yet, when faced with facts concerning Islam and what is taking place WORLD-WIDE in most Muslim dominated countries(banning homosexuality, not allowing alot of women's right's, etc), all I hear is silence on most fronts. Why is that? There are a few who speak up, but not many. Unless you are Muslim in a Muslim dominated country, you do not really stand a chance of having a voice heard, much less having equal rights under a their type of laws(especially Sharia)......
