"Daring to question the moral integrity" of the founder of the Pagan Moon God Death Cult?
Well, I think it can safely be said that he was the only founder of a major world "religion" who PERSONALLY BEHEADED 600 PEOPLE IN A SINGLE DAY.
Gosh, how's that for "moral integrity"?

As I quoted from the Wiki page on Mecca, they ban any non-Muslims from entering their city.
Why should they have the right to ban a certain people from their cities, yet not allow anyone else banning them from their city?
In all things equal was the point of my post.
You are saying that the US should conform to the religious intolerance of Mecca? Should the US strive to be like the worst?
If that is the will of the people... Then that is the will of the people, and the people should get what they want.
WTH says Muslims are the worst?! I have found most of the times that Christians are worse than Muslims.
I find it a lot more pleasant to talk to Muslims than Christians as they don't try and force their religion on me.
Plus I don't have them knocking on my door every other weekend asking if I have heard of Muhammad.

I agree that socialism sounds good on paper but probably can't work. For one, if you do away with capitalism entirely and instate communism where everybody makes the same amount you eliminate incentive to work in the most diligent manner that you can muster. I see nothing wrong with our system; but I respect your right to disagree with it, that's what its all about.

They are a hostile force with a clear aim of conquest. Round them up and send them all back to Bangladesh.
Tolerance is one thing, but allowing a group of immigrants to act like this is not something any society should have to tolerate. Who cares if they are second or third generation. If they insist on conquering the nation to which their parents or grandparents migrated, deport them.
Pre-arrange everything, set up surveillance in the area, surround them with a force more than capable of doing what is needed, and in the middle of the night, round them up and ship them out.

Socialism and communism are basically the same principle; maybe not to a "t" but they are quite similar. Again,I believe that system that focuses on spreading the wealth instead of free market capitalism would lower people's work incentive and could be detrimental to their character. I'm aware that some socialistic countries are declared happy and prosperous; but if you look at Greece I think you see a prime example of socialism gone awry.

Ive gotta tell you that you've got religion all wrong, at least from a Christian standpoint. God is full of mercy and killing is extremely prohibited.

And it is the right of the people to shut down that mosque if it is deemed a threat to the community, just like shutting down a strip club, or any other type of establishment that is deemed a danger to the community.
Just because they call it a religion doesn't mean they can do what they want. That is quite the expansion of the intent of the first amendment. What if human sacrifice is a part of the religion? Should that be ignored as well?
We aren't going to be seeing atheist rally to shut down all churches, they really don't have that kind of lobby.
Shutting down or protesting radical cults is not that uncommon. From all I see, Islam is a giant cult, that has a very violent past, and current reputation built up long before its current attempt to take over the west.
