Yes. This week.
Okay, I see your deal. Never mind. Have a nice day.
Many come to America because they are radicals who are actually suppressed in their home countries. They come to America because they want to destroy it.

Hezbollah murderers swearing allegiance to the group's secretary general with chants of "Death to America, death to Israel" and other scenes from a Hezbollah training video would seemingly be found in a far-off land.
But the never-before-seen video -- recorded four years ago -- was seized from Charlotte, N.C., residents, arrested more than a year before the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"You wouldn't ordinarily expect Charlotte to be the focal point of Hezbollah activities, would you?" said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., during Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on methods of combating terror financing.
I believe this may be true. Of course many people confuse Arabs with Muslims, when in fact many Arabs are not Muslims, and many Muslims are not Arabs, in fact there are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims.
The one question I have is this, if Muslims come here because they wish to live in a secular society, and really know what that means, since, part of what that means, is defying what their religion teaches, why do they stay Muslims? I do know part of the answer, by the way. There is a death sentence for giving up the Muslim religion.
So what happens when the Mullah says, "we must act now, and all Muslims who do not act with us, are rejecting Islam, and are sentenced to death?"
(By the way, the Muslims will never take over America. There are much worse dangers. Mostly they will be a source of great trouble only.)

No. When they become Americans and Christian we can talk. By command of their holy book all muslims are terrorists. Every last one. Either they are a terrorist or they are not a muslim. It's written in their own scriptures for crying out loud.
The plague of islam must be eradicated before this war ends.

Satanism has played just as much a role in the underlying philosophies that have built this nation as the values of Mohammad.
Everyone knows, too, that the thinkers that gave us our Constitution, system of government, and the American hope and imaginantion were strongly influenced by Hindu and Bhuddist philosophies. "Everything is just a dream," said George Washington. "I hope I come back as a horse," said Thomas Jefferson.
Was it James Madison that often quoted the Koran: "Praise God, that he has no begotten son?"
Atheism was also very prominent in the founding of our culture. Yes, all these worldviews are equal, and by God, er, I mean, by everything and nothing, they ought to be celebrated! All cultures and all thinking and all ideas are as good as any other culture, thought, or idea. It is all one, big, wonderful bowl of mush!
No. When they become Americans and Christian we can talk.You know, if I was a Democratic strategist, one of my top goals would be alienating the Muslim voters from the GOP that 70% of them reputedly support. There may not be many of them, but they are concentrated in key states like Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Florida. One good way might be by posing as a conservative and spouting anti-Islamic bigotry.

He does not see yet the influence that a certain school of Christianity had on the success of this country (as well as literacy levels, thought, and success in some other historically Protestant countries), and he thinks my faith in Christ is ridiculous, but he is every bit as hardline a Constitutional conservative, and patriot as I am. I agree with few people more about politics, and I am considered a far right-winger by most.
On the other hand, I have never known a devout Muslim (and I have known several well, and even had good, jovial conversation with them) who have any love or gratitude for this country. The teachings of Mohammad (taken as a whole)are completely at odds with the underpinning philosophies, and historical philosophies, of this nation.
Source please.
You must be polling in Bizzaro World. Either that or I missed all the conservative, pro-Republican acticles on the Web sites of the "moderate" Islamic orgaizations you cited.
The bottom line is that the job is not done until Islam becomes a minor religious abberation like the Church of Bob. Seriously, though: Until people in what are now Islamic countries have the well-protected right to choose to leave Islam, Islam will continue to be a malignant tumor on the world.

Many American Muslims probably did move here to get away from repressive Islamic laws and governments and to enjoy the mall, movies and all the comforts of life the West has to offer.
However, I personally believe that such Muslims, however benevolent, are not truly embracing the tenets of Islam. And I am thankful that they don't! If one is truly honest, the radical jihadists of the world are reading and following their Qur'an in the footsteps of Mohammad, and the peaceful, patriotic American Muslims are not. It would be anathema for hardcore Muslims to come here for any purpose other than to convert America to Islam, or to conquer us.
Sorry if I don't buy off on the religion of peace theory. I just can't equate flag-burning, throat-slitting, slave-taking, bus-bombing chauvinistic moon god worshippers with Jews and Christians. Call it my own personal weakness.
Bwahahahahaha. Why don't you take one of my quotes out of context, will you? I'm the Jewish son of a Holocaust survivor, much of my family is in Israel, and my point was to counter a frequent argument of American anti-Semites, you dolt.
Yeah, you see my deal...
If you mean that American Jews have divided sympathies, that is almost certainly correct, but only among a minority of them. And it isn't a problem since U.S. and Israeli interests are mostly aligned - at least as much as with any other important ally. You are making an elaborate and oblique argument that rests on American Jews being directly comparable to American Moslems. If you can't tell the differnce, what can you be told?
