Someone who hasn't read this whole thread, a few pages back asked for examples on how the Muslims are trying to chage our way of life to please them, so I repeat my post of page 14::
The apathy here is truely frightening.
Christmas decorations have been taken down because they were offended.
How did you feel about that?
Next they are offended because the school cafeteria serves ham sandwiches.
And they want this stopped.
How do you feel about that?
And then there are the many footbaths that are being installed to plese them.

How do you feel about that?
And then there is the guy who wants a special Muslim toilet seat installed for him.
How do you feel about that?
Here is a list of many things that offend Muslims.
www.islam-watch.org...
How do you feel about that?
Just to be fair and balanced, here is a list of things that do not offend muslims.

I suggest that all of you Muslim apologists print out the info from the above sites and STUDY IT!
Memorize it! Sleep on it. Let 7 days pass during which time you reread all the above,And then come back here and tell us what you think.
Knocking Christianity is no defence for your argument in favor of Islam.
Christianity is part of OUR family. We know how to handle them.
Their ways are our ways.
but when it comes to religious pushing Islam, in my books is the biggest danger to America right now, no because they don't have the right to worship at will, hell is in our constitution but that is Americas laws and Islam doesn't follow any other laws but of their own faith, and that is danger in constitutional paradise.

What if they weren't Muslims. Say there is a group of people out there. Call them group X.
OK..can we call group X Catholicism? Just for the sake of argument?
- Women are second class citizens who are inferior to men
"Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says." (1 Corinthians 14:34)
- A woman can be stoned for nothing more than being accused by her husband of infidelity.
"If any man takes a wife, and goes in on her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, 'I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin..." (Deuteronomy 22:13,14)
"But if ... evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deuteronomy 22:20,21)
- Anyone who isn't part of our group should either convert and be a part of our group or they must die
Crusades? Inquisition? Erik Rudolph? Christian Extremists...bombers, pro-life assasins etc. etc.
- Its ok to lie to anyone outside the group.
The Catholic Church covering up the molestation of ten's of thousands of children?
- We will convert the whole world to be a part of our group.
This is mandated in the bible...thus the evangelical church.
I wonder if the same folks would give their staunch support to group X if they were a home grown cult as they do Islam.
I don't know..I do support Christians right to practice their religion?
In the USA religious tolerance within the bounds of our laws historically leads to moderate and dare I say "liberal" interpretations of orthodoxy.
Intolerance is what galvinizes a given orthodoxy. History has proven this over a few thousand years...ask Jesus and his followers. The gov at that time tried to clamp down on one loud anarchist...how did that work out for them as far as putting a halt to christianity?
Tolerance leads to moderation...intolerance leads to extremism.
Your logic is backwards.

I could care less about catholicism. Yes there is corruption abound in that religion but they don't PROMOTE molesting children.
in Islam it is OK to molest children as prophet himself did just that and it is written! Thats the difference buddy.

So we should be tolerant of a group who themselves are not tolerant of almost anything, probably including you and your beliefs.
uhhhh... riiiiiiiight.
