To the left, “tolerance” has developed a new meaning. It means “Dominance of us over you!!”. Those 65 plans of communist domination or whatever they’re called are looking more and more like a done deal.

It’s the left’s way of forcing normal people who believe in God and morality into the closet. Removing all freedoms from us. It’s dangerous and not a light or little thing.

I wouldn’t mind going to any kind of religious service (I have in the past) (and I’ll leave Islam out of this) even if I don’t practice those methods of worship, and don’t share some of the tenets of belief. My view is - at least they’re worshipping God in some manner, and they have free will, too. And how about respecting others as a general principle?

I have atheist relatives and acquaintenaces and I don’t hate them or try to shove anything in their faces.

And of course - pressurized proselytization should never happen especially in the military where there is a more or less captive audience. But that can be taken care of. If I were in the military, especially in a war zone, I’d be happy to hear prayers from anyone, regardless of sect or religion (leaving Islam aside again, sorry I’m sort of negative about them now).

Don't feel bad. Islam is not a religion. It is a political system that uses some theological terms and concepts in order to wield psychological power. It doesn't even begin to be internally consistent enough to be a religion, let alone a metaphysical system for explaining observable phenomena.
