If what the Christians are trying to do is generate bad press and make themselves look like a bunch of assholes, then they have already succeeded.

How so? Show me the bad press... What have they done that is so bad?

Do you think we should just ignore the potential terrorists in our midst?

At least these people are trying to convert via reason and talking instead of using islam's favorite conversion tool - the sword.

We are compelled to bring this message to those lost in the murderous bondage of Christianity because of the worldwide persecution and murder of Muslims. The recent resurgence of terrorist activities in Bagdhad is nothing less than the lie of Christianity!

Let's say I show up at your church with 100 other people spouting this rubbish, and then let's go a little further and suppose that the country that you live in is 98% Muslim and 2% Christian. Do you think that you would be convinced to convert? Or would you feel more isolated and persecuted?

I think that if you want to shake out the terrorists you should do what you can to integrate Muslims into the American mainstream. A cookout where you can actually meet and talk to some Muslims is going to do a lot more for homeland security than a protest and conversion party will.

At least these people are trying to convert via reason and talking instead of using islam's favorite conversion tool - the sword.

Standing out front of a Mosque in large numbers and shouting into bullhorns isn't reason, it's being a jerk and it's intimidating. The reason that these Save America folks are doing it is because they are afraid and think that by doing this they'll somehow be protecting themselves. But they're not, they're just making an already nasty problem worse. There are 6 million Muslims in America, and they're not going away and they're not all going to convert. If we don't integrate them, if we don't try to understand one another, then we're going to end up with what they had in London.

I don't want to sound all squishy liberal here, but you've got to reach out to these people. They're just as human as you or I, and if you reach out to them, if you give them a stake in their community, and you make them your friends and neighbors, then they're not going to turn on you any more than a Jew or a Hindu would.
