Your view is typically condescending toward those of different faiths.
A fanatic is a fanatic, whether he practices Islam or Christianity. Abortion clinic bombers are no better than jihadists. We cannot stop fanaticism by banning religion; in fact that would only inspire more hatred.
And there is certainly no reason for an openly racist and religiously discriminatory restriction on our immigration.
I think all organized religions are pretty fucked up. I rationally agree with the basic philosophy of jesus christ, but I think christianity as hijacked as a vehicle of imperialism has blown for some time now.
They will decapitate athiests as well, stupidass.
Where the fuck do you live that you fear decapitation so much?
In the unlikely scenario that an angry Muslim jihadist busts into my house trying to behead me, I will shoot him in the face with my .45.
You think Christians didn't lynch people dumbass? The Ku Klux Klan is still pretty strong where I live. As recently as a year ago a black family in my area had a cross burned into their yard by the "noble Christian Knights".
There is nothing dangerous about a pious, nonviolent Muslim living out his/her life in America paying taxes and contributing to society. If you fear that, then you are a xenophobe. Once you concede that such a person is not harmful to you, which he/she isn't, then you see why banning an entire religion is infeasible and un-American. I don't even have to show you the numerous Islamic condemnations of al-Qaeda and bin Laden's tactics to prove how few Muslims worldwide support such extremism.
no. It's more likely it will be a gradual intimidation of non muslims and islamicization of society under the guise of "tolerance" and continued villainization of other faiths by, as previously mentioned, the cypress wing of the democrat party, who are totally brainwashed nihilist anti-self warriors who believe they only can only prove their "non racism" and hoighty toighty-ness by actively destroying their culture of origin. Denigrating their fathers, pissing on christ.... they are actually hate filled. Little hitler youth.
The Moors in Spain, and the Almohad dynasty were Muslims who protected the rights of of Christians and Jews to worship as they please. I can tell that you have never read the Q'uran or you would know that it instructs pious Muslims to respect the other religions of the Book. History is rife with examples of Muslim religious tolerance and Christian intolerance. The Crusades, the 30 Years War, and others were begun for primarily religious reasons.
This is not to say that Christianity is inherently intolerant or that Islam is inheritly opposite. I use these examples to show you that within all faiths there are people who will seek to murder others for perceived favor from their God. If you were truly concerned about religious violence, you would propose outlawing religion. Instead, like every other believer of every faith, you believe that you're the one who is right and everyone else should just get on the same page. You are blind to the failings and crimes of your own religion.
Doctrinally, Christianity emphasizes a number of the same unpleasant things that Islam does. And a comparable percentage of Muslims and Christians are incited to violence from their religion.
You stay focused. You say that we should be banning a particular religion because it is intolerant and promotes. I say that your own religion also fulfills all of the requirements that you seem to have for deciding to ban a faith.
But we're clearly stuck in a bit of a loop. If that doesn't kick you out of it I'm done. You have an irrational fear of being beheaded, and that seems to be your primary problem. Along with some typical theocrat bullshit about how messed up everyone else's religion is.
They're like nazis, man.
It's NAZI-esque to infringe upon someone's right to worship freely and peacefully. If they are not worshipping peacefully, then those who preach violence can and are prosecuted for inciting violence. You're addressing it as a problem which could be fixed by banning Islam in America. That would only serve to incite much more violence, and I don't believe that you are so stupid as to think that Muslims would react to such a move with anything other than increased hostility.
That would create a real hostility even among mainstream Muslims.
Do you even know any Muslims? I do, and they're some of the best people I know.
This entire argument of yours is irrational.
Oh, ok. Sorry, I must have misunderstood what you were laughing at.
They don't worship peacefully. Everyone knows who it is that's preaching this violence. It's the imam. Ca.i.r. is a sham. Like I said, you can't slap a word like RELIGION on this pack of crap murderous sham of a faith and make it acceptable.
Umm you just dissed that article I posted of all the islamic houses of worship in KY. a bible belt redneck red state and no problems .....
