They said they were doing their "duty" as Muslims.

Given our strong protections of free speech, I'm presuming this type of leaflet would be legal to distribute in the U.S. - correct? As long as the leaflet isn't making a direct threat to harm someone, I think it should be legal.

Those are the cases which explain why in some countries there are limits to what can be said. I find that OK, the only problem is WHERE to draw the line.

I think it would be legal for Muslims in the current politically correct climate to do this. Or why else are we importing so many Muslims?

They aren't coming here by the millions because they love us as a people or respect our freedoms, you cannot be a good Muslim and like American liberties. Sharia law is completely the opposite of freedom.

And -- what would be the point of bringing them in, knowing full well what their religion wants done with homosexuals and then forbidding their religious freedom? It won't work, Muslims would not tolerate being muzzled.

And these leaflets come straight out of their Koran which of course is allowed so it would be ridiculous to forbid the leaflet but not the whole book.

The Koran also tells them to slaughter the infidels where ever they find them -- and that means all of us, even heterosexuals. So if we allow the book that instructs them to kill any of us, why worry about a leaflet that tells them where to start?

I didn't know that we were. Since they are still only 0.8% of the population, we're not doing a very diligent job.

They aren't coming here "by the millions" at all. Not one of the top ten countries of origin for U.S. immigrants is majority-Muslim.

The ones who are coming, are usually coming for one of the most American of reasons: to make money.

Muslims calling for the execution of homosexuals? But, I thought Islam was a peaceful religion?

And do you think the ones going to Great Britain are NOT going there for money? There is nothing in the Koran about not liking money, they love money. They just don't like us.
