Well your argument goes against everything the US supposedley stand for Freedom, Justice for all. Your views are that of a totalarian state and I suggest you think a little before writing, or if this is not possible at least take a deep breath.
This is directly opposed to the systematic attacks like those launched on Israeli civilians killed by Palestinian lunatics in malls, on buses, etc. Or, I might add, on Christian Copts, Christian Nigerians, Animist Nigerians, Christian and Animist Sudanese, Iranian Bahais, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Sikhs, and other individuals who aren't Muslim in any country where Islam is the dominate belief system.
Maybe you forget Sabra and Shatila, where even the Israeli government blamed Sharon for the slaughter of innocents.
Maybe you forget the Innocents murdered in Ireland over the last fifty years, as they were Christians and that does not happen, even though the murders were supported by funds given directly from the USA.

 Timothy Mcveigh, who sounds very much like your own profile, white, male, Christian and right wing, and all the innocents that died that day. Maybe you forget the persecution of Jews in the Spanish Inquisition. The Inquisition has its origin in the earliest beliefs of the Church, that Judaism was an abomination and a rejection of G-d's chosen one. From the earliest Jewish settlement in Spain to 1480, the number of converted Jews who were burnt at the stake by the Church were relatively few. In 1478 the Church authorized a powerful Church/State national Inquisition which would operate throughout Spain under the direction of Catholic monarches, Ferdinand and Isabella. Commencing in Seville in 1481, and later in other cities after trials, seven hundred conversos were burnt at the stake and by 1488 many thousands were tortured, punished, humiliated and others were reconciled to the church. The Inquisition continued for another years as did the autos de fe (burnings of unrepentant conversos at public spectacles), other punishment and confiscations of converso property. (converso = Jew forcilbly converted to Christianity) A belief system which systematically degrades women, persecutes non-believers Maybe you forget that the Jews lived in Spain in harmony with the Muslims and after the Inquisition, the Jews that managed to escape, went to north Africa and Palistine and were welcomed and allowed to practive their faith. With regard to your comment on degrading women, pornographic material is not allowed under Islam, but I am sure you can telll me the value this industry is to the US economy?! What was the rape total in the USA last year? What was the total of violent assaults againts women in the US last year? What was the divorce rate in the USA last year? Muslims do not believe in pre-marital sex, they believe in the sanctity or marriage. What was the rate of under age pregnancies last year in the USA? I am sure if you could supply Freepers with all this information, the entire Muslim world figures for the same questions and period, would not be even be on the graph in comparison, and there are 1.5 billion Muslims. So I suggest you read a little, before trying to express your biggoted views. I understand the US is a new country and with only a few hundred years of power under its belt, which incidently was achieved by destroying the original occupiers, men, women and children. Then they brought over the slaves and treated them like animals and even up till late last century they still treated the blacks like second class or even third class citizens. Well if you treat a man like an animal for long enough, he will act like one. Therefore the USA, is hardly in a position to pontificate to the rest fo the world on how it should be done. The USA should be quite on certain issues (like little boys and girls, that should be seen and not heard) and maybe it will learn on how things should be done and mature into a respectable nation.
