Saburo, if Islam is to be practiced in the US as in the middle east then I don't want it here. Of course it's not now as Muslims are a small minority, about 2 million in the US. However, if/when they grow to be a majority will they be as tolerant of womens rights, infidels and other religions as the US currently is of them? Their track record says no. What else is there to go by?
Many have reported seeing Islamic glee both on television and first hand when 3,000 Americans were murdered on 9/11. My father lives near a small community of Muslims and found a large number of them at the local Walmart soon after the attack (within a day or two). They appeared to be quite festive making a lot of noise and laughing it up. That made a lot of people there very angry. Perhaps they aren't representative of the majority of Muslims, then again maybe they are.
I think there is no place in the US for any group of people that will not embrace our ideals particularly the freedom to worship or not worship as you see fit. I've no idea where you live but if it is in the US and you don't agree then don't let the door hit you on the way out.
You seem to be a little dense so I figured I'd better spell this out for you. There is no room for any religion in this country that would deny citizens basic rights as guaranteed by the constitution. A religion that would exert force upon it's adult members or nonmembers (including women) to comply with it's tenets does not belong here.
LOL. You are so blinded by your prejudice and hate that you have no clue how hypocritical you sound. You sure that group of 'muslims' your father saw? How did he identify tham as muslim?
You sure they couldn't be Sikh? LOL, festive...err, just maybe they could have been celebrating a wedding? Perhaps some of their party was visiting the US for the first time? Funny how you keep preaching about the 'intolerance' of muslims, but you fail to see yours. BTW, what does a muslim look like?
Shortly after 9-11, a Sikh store owner was shot and killed by an american thinking he was muslim.
Do me a favor. Reread my posts above and try to key on the content instead (reading comprehension). Bring a dictionary with you to really understand the words you're having trouble with.
I'll give you a starting point.
Tolerance
Ignorance
Muslim
Sikh
Christian
Stupidity
Prejudice
Also while you're at it, look up the entire muslim population. (Shiite, Sunni, Druze, etc.) and tell me the #'s and differences.
Give me a number of those celebrating the 9-11 terror attack and the #'s of those that didn't. Not guesses but facts. If you've been honest, you should be embarrassed with how you've carried on here. Hmmm, maybe not LOL
