Hon, obviously this is a hard concept for you, no offense.

No where did I ever call for the "extermination" as you say, of all Muslims. Nor did I advocate their mass murder or detainment in camps. I believe I said that if we did this, we would be no better than the Nazis.

Islam, however, should not be practiced. Only people that don't read or watch the news think it is a peaceful religion. From my experience, both in watching world events and dealing with Muslims personally, those that do practice Islam are of poor moral fibre. That is why they are weak enough to practice such a barbaric way of life. These kind of people are not needed in the United States, therefore there should be no more Muslim immigrants. We should also denounce Islam for the evil farce it is and not call it a "religion of peace" when it so clearly is not.

I realize that you know Muslims yourself and think they are "nice". There are many people that seem "nice" but that doesn't necessarily make it so. It is very easy to be nice to someone's face. What matters is what they do behind your back. That is something that we can never really be sure of when dealing with Muslims because of Islam. We can't trust what is going on behind our backs. And from what I have seen so far, we have every right to be distrustful.

What you need to understand is tolerance only goes so far. Tolerance is not a thing without its limits. Most of us have exhausted our tolerance, and you can't blame some people for blowing up. After all, they are only venting on a forum, they aren't, for example, driving planes full of passengers into the sides of buildings.

Your patronizing really doesn't make your anti-americanism
any more palatable.

I was quite clear in my first post
what I was speaking out against. Those who are calling
for the deaths of innocent muslim americans along with
the guilty. You chose to argue with that post. Now
you blame me for taking you wrong.

As for Islam, whether or not you find it a pretty religion,
it is protected by the first amendment. You can argue
that its ugly. You can argue that it's violent. But
the argument that it is not protected is weak at best.

Yes, I know of peaceful muslims. It wouldn't surprise
me to hear that you do not know any personally. Yes,
I may be blind to some of their faults, but let me tell you,
someone who's never met a muslim is a whole lot blinder
than someone who actually knows the people she talks about.

As for tolerance, I know very well that it's gone too far.
I'd be the first to tell you so in many matters, including pro-homosexual indoctrination and pro-child sex programs.

But I'll also be the first to tell you that this mindless hatred of muslims has gone too far. Because it has. Whether you have the class to admit it or not. It is ugly, it is injust, and it is tactless. While I _am_ glad none of you,
to my knowledge, are actively involved in any violent
acts, what's written here is more important than you seem
to think. Free Republic gives the public a view of what
conservatives are like. It's mentioned on television, radio and in newspapers and magazines. It's a very big reflection
on conservatives as a whole. And when conservatives look
like a bunch of biggots, who wants to join their ranks?
