No they don't. Even presidents will bend over backward proclaiming Islam is the religion of peace even after it's obvious it is not.

Muslims should be treated like Nazis. Sure not all Nazis are terrible neighbors or wife beaters but there's something wrong with their beliefs. Something very wrong with their obsession against those of the Jewish faith.

People can be held accountable for the beliefs they hold.

Well the liberals hold Christians responsible, call Christians horrible names all the time, but as you say - people are free to object to Islam all they want. it works both ways you know.

The truth can be told about what Islam contains in it. I believe Islam is essentially no different than Nazism and yes, I am allowed to believe it and say it.

And what of liberal Christians?

More ridiculous pigeonholing.

No one ever said the sword doesn't cut both ways.

No kidding. We all know that.

The problem lies with this very telling statement by you:

This evidences a serious misunderstanding of how the First Amendment works.

I didn't say being held accountable means being automatically arrested if they are here legally but if they can certainly be held accountable by the people here for their hatred of Jews and Christians, they can be held accountable like any subversive group.

Not unless they act on it.

if you are correct, what is the difference between what you propose, and what Orwell described as the Thought Police?
