You can disagree, but you are dead wrong.

Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Turkey, all Muslim countries, have had female prime ministers.

The problem is not Islam, but fundamentalism within Islam, coupled with extreme political repression in Arabic countries, which has, throughout the twentieth century, been buttressed by Western powers.

Fundamentalism in all stripes is a negative force. I am a Christian, but have as little in common with fundamentalist Christians as I do with fundamentalist Muslims.

There were no problems with Muslims living in Bosnia, Albania, Chechnya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Algeria, Morocco, or even most West European nations until Wahhibist sects started throwing money at mosques and schools operating in those countries.

And how much money is being thrown at mosques and schools in America by the Wahhibist sects?

What' the saying? 99% of muslims give the other 1% a bad name.

I think you're splitting hairs on the issue. Sure, there may be good muslims and there may be some good things about islam. But you can say the same thing about communism, nazis and hillary clinton. The bad things just far outweigh the good, in my opinion.

The original post was about importing muzzies into the country. I'm against it. I'm against letting muzzies recruit in our prisons. I'm against letting muzzies hold sensitive positions in our military, civilian government and industry.

I guess you support these things? You'd have no problem with this once-great nation being 10% muslim? 50%? 100%?

No thanks... I'm 43 & still can't grow a beard... It'd be off with my head. My wife or sisters wouldn't wear a burka and would still want to drive... stone them to death!

Isn't living in a socialist country bad enough, one trending more and more every day towards fascism? Do we really need more problems?
