And Republicans HATE freedom of religion unless it's conservative fundamentalist "born again" Christianity.
And what is Islam, other than the most extremely conservative fundamentalist religion in the world. You already know there is not one major Mosque in the US that accepts gays, while their are thousands Christian churches that do. Another favorite Leftist lie is that Islam is a moderate religian.
When it's one of the three major religions in the world, I don't see how we have a choice.
And I know that anecdotes only get us so far, but I do think they can help us understand a situation better. Do you know any Muslims? I'm posing that question for everyone who has espoused these kinds of views toward Islam in this thread. None of the Muslims I know are like what y'all describe.
Almost as much of the world that is muslim lives under dictatorships and non democratic systems. That doesnt mean we have to adopt that.
There are moderate muslims or those that claim to be. However polls have shown that up to half of muslims worldwide favor living under sharia law.
Islam inherently demands that no other religion exists. We dont have to tolerate such facism.
I cant see how anyone watches this guy. This guy is not funny at all.
I watch him sometimes and think that most of the time he is pretty funny. Especially how he gets under the skin of the avid Trump supporters. But then, I'm not an old, angry white guy. Just an old, white guy
What if the American himself is a Muslim? Or you can’t be a Muslim and an American at the same time?
Real Americans don't believe in the kinds of hateful aggressive precepts commanded in Islam.
So maybe a former muslim can be an American.
But what's the point? Who here has EVER once needed to import a muslim?
There is no good reason to allow muslims to come here. They can stay in any of the 57 Islamic states in the world. No reason to come into any of the couple dozen Western nations.

So if a 4th generation blond American male with ancestral family roots embedded in European Christianity, converts to Islam, is he an American anymore?
Also, are you going to ban all Americans from visiting those 57 Muslim states if you had the power to do so?

He's probably mentally ill and should be committed or expelled.
I don't give a crap where Americans go as long as they understand they might be on the watch list on the way back.
Don't go looking for trouble and you won't find it!

So people have all the answers about how hateful the belief system is, but no one wanted to answer this. Telling. This is getting ridiculous. Muslims are just like everyone else. I guess we really do have a problem with Islamophobia in this country, no matter how much know-it-alls like Bill Maher want to either mock and downplay it. I'm done with this thread.
