I'm an atheist. I haven't heard of any Christians calling for my death because I don't have the same beliefs as them. But there are plenty of Muslims who want to kill anyone who doesn't follow their twisted religion.

To those of you who think we should be tolerant of Islam no matter what its philosophy is, do you think we have an obligation to appreciate and defend the views of the KKK? What if they start calling themselves a religion, would you support them then? So, how is Islam any different?

Of course, there are many Muslims who condemn terrorism and love this country. But: they sure as heck haven't been very vocal, and they are not considered "true" followers of Islam since they don't want to kill us for not being like them. That's what their book says.

I absolutely support religious freedom, but I draw the line when a "religion" calls for the death of anyone who doesn't follow it, and has essentially declared war against Western civilization.

I see a lot of irony in those calling for unlimited 'tolerance' of an extremely intolerant, in the most malignant way, religion.

If they hope to positively influence said religion by handing out gold stars, they're doomed to great disappointment.

My post wasn't about unconditional acceptance of any religion. As I said. You've got a right to demand justice
and a right to hate your enemies. But calling for the
extermination of every muslim is intolerable to me.
And there's been quite a bit of it going on here.

And some HAVE been very vocal. They're just not the type
that attract the media.
