A major purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to protect minorities against the tyranny of the majority. If a Muslim government oppresses non-Muslims, it is the right and duty of the oppressed to protect themselves — by force and violence if necessary! For instance, if an Afghan woman unhappy about being forced to wear the burka were to blow out Mullah Omar's brains, she should be regarded as a hero, not a criminal.
After working with a number of Muslims I have to agree with this statement. I know some nice ones and somme rabidly anti-american ones. Funny thing was that some of the most anti-american ones I know were also the ones that got the massive citizenship giveaway Clinton expedited. Their hate for jews is inbred and a part of their core.
If what he's saying is true, then no-one who distrusts Muslims is doing so without logical cause. In fact, those who would deny the hostility are living an insanity.
...Their ideal society would follow Islamic law and make no separation between religion and state.
In the meantime, they said, they want to become doctors and lawyers and teachers in the United States.
...Their comments are similar to those posted by Muslim Americans on the numerous Internet chat rooms and message boards about Islam, and their outlook is similar in some ways to that of other newcomers.
...the United States is to blame for the ills of the Muslim world through its support of more secular Muslim rulers. Some of the students, for example, said they would support any leader who they decided was fighting for Islam.
Mr. Fozi, for instance, said that he would support any leader he determined to be an observant Muslim who is fighting for an Islamic cause, and that he would do so even if it meant abandoning the United States. "I would support him with my life," he said.
Fifth column, anyone?
Muslim education does not preach tolerance. The girls are taught nothing and the educational standards for males inferior. The males look at jews and christians with better education and jobs and are jealous. A typical victim mentality.
Yes, I agree. It's called mind control, just the opposite of American value system. Why do their parents come here? It is not good when any group of people come to our country and do not wish to assimilate. They need to get rid of their foreign gear and become Americans or go home. We citizens need to take a stand. Enough is enough
He hung American flags in the house even though my mother spoke little English and he had a heavy accent. However, my parents were Christians.
For some reason, this reminds me of the old bumper sticker, "I survived Catholic School." Well, the nuns don't have anything on the mullahs. These kids will grow up and have to integrate with American society on a daily basis as they go through college and get jobs. Then they'll find out the truth.
Providing we don't let immigration get out of control, Arabs are likely to assimilate faster in US society than any other ethnic group, for the simple reason that their Old Ways are so out of whack.
The only thing that could spoil this would be for a Timothy McVeigh clone to go out and kill a bunch of Muslims. God help us, let's hope the FBI can prevent that.
We're finally understanding what's happening around us. Maybe our citizens will finally wake up. It's hard to accept people who come to this country and don't wish to assimilate.
I think Americans have been awakened to a very dark truth that underlies these attacks-These attacks may have been the work of an active few, but they are cheered by a very large world-wide group - many within our own borders and claiming to be American citizens.
This realization is good because before we can defeat an enemy, we must identify them.
There is no reason to mince words. Anyone who cheers the mass slaughter of innocents is not fit to cohabit a civilized world with people of peace and should be marked for destruction. If Muslims proclaim they cannot peacefully coexist in a world occupied by those of other faiths, they have condemned themselves by their own word as did Pharoah in the time of Moses. If they live by the sword, they shall die by it.
If you claim America as your home, and yet you will not fight against a "muslim" nation, then in my view, you should leave.
Send the whole lot of them back to the tent they came from.
A small step in the right direction.
Yes it is up to Muslims now to make some serious reforms in that religion. Other religions have split apart over far far less. As it stand right now, bin Laden and the mass murderers are every bit as Muslim as the ones claiming to be peace-loving and tolerant. They can say the extremists aren't "true" Muslim but in reality they are.
