"The concept of Religious Freedom is just that; freedom to practice/pursue/advocate/defend/teach the religion of your choice."

I agree with most of what you said, but I have a problem with the above. Should we allow Muslims into our country to 'practice' their religion of hate and intolerance? I am reminded of Christ's own words: "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.". (Matthew 12:30)

Good point, and duly noted.

I am willing to give the benefit of doubt to most things that aren't originally palatable. However, after a trend of activities indicate that a belief that I was once tolerant of is now no longer valid; then I have to reevaluate.

I tend to shy away from endorsing folks advocating Islam, Devil Worship, Human Sacrifice, etc. Some may say that Islam is getting an unfair rap, but I believe their track record is going from dismal to untenable..

However, I have to accept my beliefs as representative of way I believe; and strive not tp impose them on the rest of the nation. As long as they are based on a moral understanding of knowing right from wrong I am comfortable..
