We're all human beings.

None of us are the same.

I can't remember the last time I beheaded anyone for being a homosexual or for not believing in the same imaginary man in the sky, as I do.

I can't remember the last time I murdered someone for drawing a parody charicurture of some one or something that I find "too holy and important" to have a sense of humor about.

I respect religious people who are capable of showing respect for other people who don't believe the same as they do. By last head count, that's a small percentage of religious people.

Islam, which is the Quran, dictates zero respect for all non-muslims. And by last head count, their numbers of respectful towards infidels is even more miniscule.

More small precedents (special privileges) Muslims have been attempting (and some times succeeding in) to establish.


Muslim Workers Demand Time for Prayer at Meatpacking Plants | Labor Notes


Disney restaurant hostess sues for permission to wear hijab - Los Angeles Times

....paid for Prayer Time......

.......refuses to remove her hijab (head scarf) despite the fact it violates company dress codes and now she's sueing them!

This is how they begin....they infest...entrench and bully. No understanding. No intentions of "fitting in". No respect for the company's rules. No respect for her fellow employees.

Just singularly-focused self-absorbtion in Islam. Bully Islam into the culture. Force-feed it down America's throats. Special benefits and special immunities for Islam.

This can not be accepted in America.

What makes you call these "special privileges?"

It seems to me they are perfectly covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
