I disagree with you and believe in the freedom of religion outlined in the constitution. Satanism is acceptable but not Islam? Get out.

Murder and rape across the US. Religion seems to have little to do with it. There are good people and there are bad; I can tell you that in 15 years of working with Muslim students, I've had only one bad experience (creepy stalker type student).

Murder and rape abound across the US. In fact, I mentioned Epstein in particular because he was in a network of like-minded people (not a lone criminal). Religion seems to have little to do with it.

I didn't ask if they've been raped, if that's what you're wondering. I have spoken to many, many of my students on a variety of topics and from what I've learned, none or very few of the women (or men) I've worked with are in a rush to leave their faith. Many of them are here for only a short time and will voluntarily return to their home countries after an education.
It's estimated that one in four American women are sexually assaulted and 1/6 raped or the victims of attempted rape, and my experience there seems to line up with that fact. Seems like a human problem rather than an ideological one.

Muslims have 5 pillars of faith, alms, pilgrimage, prayer, and fasting. The rest of it is left to extremists.

We could be accused as Christians as being stuck as well by the threat of hell.
You won't convince me of your opinion, but you can keep trying if you'd like!

Used the extra star mod perk on a few of the above comments, maybe?
