Some do. They ought to reflect a little more on where their jet airplane bombs and RPG bombs and IED bombs and EFP bombs came from and realize they using the inventions of man and swear off those weapons and try standing on streetcorners handing out tracts like their more evolved brothers.

The entire point of the article is about secular govt, not religious dogma

How can you say that with a straight face? She's bringing in the religious aspect to a secular government. Which is what they(secularist) want to avoid. Looks like the beginning of a war between the secular and religious. Which side will prevail?

I don’t have any faith that they would do that. One needs only look at the signs they carry in protest marches to understand what outcome they are marching for. Our Submission!

I’ve had the opportunity to meet several immigrants from Turkey - all Christian. The country is strictly secular, but if you convert to Islam, you get the kids in custody cases and inheritance rights over family members and all sorts of benefits.
Then again, women in Turkey can wear bikinis and drive to the beach. The women want to keep their freedom, and the men want to see them - and see them enjoy it.
Give Islamicists an inch, and they take a mile and hang you with it. The Turks know this.

Both the republicans as well as the democrats have kneepads on when dealing with Muslims. And we plan to win the war against Al-Qaeda while they are crossing our open borders south and north? Yeah, right.

I have no problem with her wearing the hajib, even in an official capacity. Just dont force anyone else to do the same. If Laura Bush wore a cross, I wouldn’t be outraged

Well said - that's the intellectually honest position.
