What's the point of doing this? Why not just live and let live?

Political religions should be taxed. In fact, they should be taxed even under our current laws but no administration has been brave enough to actually enforce the rule that revokes tax-exempt status from politically active religions, as a whole.

Be their friend, invite them for dinner, ask them about their children. the crazies are trying to incite division and anger for their own personal gain, why give them the satisfaction?

Phelps was just one guy with about a dozen follows, most of which were his family members. There are "Sharia4(country)" groups all over the world, as I have already explained. But the only real "debate" I have seen here from pro-islamists is name-calling and threatening to drop sharia on me...

The point is to make sure no new, uppity religions gain a foothold, when everybody can already go to a nice Christain church.

Is Saudi Arabia just a few Muslims? How do they treat their women? How about Iran? Women can't even drive a car or walk alone do you call this freedom? How about being stoned to death for speaking to a man?

It's not just their religion, it's their laws!

That certainly does not represent the majority of Muslims or of Muslim countries.

Many things SDWILLY. Muslims are very good at distorting logic in order to maintain their strength. In every majority​ ​Muslim society, other religions are violently persecuted if not banned outright. Tolerance is a one way street with Muslims.

You might have noticed SDWILLY that most terrorists are Muslims. Muslim terrorists have committed attacks on every continent in the name of Islam​ -- 9/11, Fort Hood, Boston Marathon Bombings, Decapitation of British Soldier etc....just add up all the failed terror attempts by radical Muslims. The fact that the FBI, Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies have broken up over 70 Muslim Islamist terrorist plots against the United States since 9/11. It would seem that it's time to wake up to the meaning and reality of Islam.

Muslims can be peaceful and fairly well behaved when their numbers are small. The average Muslim may ignore the radical tenants of their religion, but if they fail to suppress the radicals among them, then they really shouldn't complain about being profiled. When Muslims get sufficient numbers in a country, they push for​ ​Sharia​....it's already happening in ​parts of ​Europe​, and in​ England, where Sharia Law is currently applied for family law cases. Muslims who moved to the U.S. from other countries need to comprehend that this is America and the established laws of our Constitution, amendments, and courts are the "law of the land". They can either accept these laws or move back to their own homelands -- Sharia law has no place in the civilized world.
