Opinion: Anti-Muslim rhetoric isn’t brave

[ExPatty 502]

until you can show me where, in history, a religion has been effectively ended, without also ending the religious freedom of its innocent followers..i'll maintain it can't be done.

You're what teachers commonly refer to as "unteachable".

hahaha. oh, so you've been attempting to teach me all this time???

ohmylanta, i just died. i could have saved you the trouble...

(found any examples of successful religion-ending, dear?)

I was about to link you but it's too fun watching you and elitesthug now go back and forth thinking you got me. Keep it up.

Like I said: 7% of American Muslims support killing in the name of islam.

Something tells me that if you were to poll homegrown extremists such as the yahoos who took over the federal building in Oregon, the number of those who would support killing for their cause would be higher than 7%.

well, they're christian, white, male. completely harmless. let them save the country in peace. on their terms of course, we don't want anyone getting upset over not getting their way..

That something you refer to is personal bias.

except in your case, dear teacher.

Do you have any post secondary education at all? Before I thought maybe you have a toilet paper degree in some useless social science (useless because your writing is not consistent with a person educated in formal English). Now I am thinking GED.

How so?

[ExPatty 502]

How so?

Because you lack evidence to support your claim.

too cute. GED WINNER WINNER!

as for the link, i sure am glad that i live in america - where i have the freedom to have no religion. such a waste to die over an imaginary friend.

[Teddy B 17,252]

But that doesn't make it a personal bias. I like to use logic and facts to come to conclusions whenever possible, when those are not possible I use past experience and what I see with my eyes. I used 52 years of life experience to draw that conclusion. I've seen plenty of instances and have heard enough rhetoric from the homegrown yahoos that would lead me to believe it. Do you disagree with it? If so, why?

It must be my computer, I tried Chrome and IE and still cannot get your 7 % link to work....lets put that down to issues with Technology...but to my main question from your statement:

Of course more people die from overeating than islamic terrorism. But I actually don't like islam for more reasons than just terrorism. I think it is inherently incompatible with the constitution, starting from the very first amendment. The fact that it also is responsible for the bulk of the world's terrorism is simply something easy to point to about what's wrong with it.

So is it Islam or terrorism that you find incompatible with the constitution?

Which one is it?

Islam, as taught, is incompatible with the Constitution
