In time Islam may come to a more enlightened way of thinking also. But until they do, I for one don't want them to gain the slightest toehold of power in this country.
It always makes me laugh when I hear Western people talk about Islam needs to become "enlightened"
Which is basically code for, "become and behave just like we do"
The Native Americans heard the same thing.
And so did the Africans, Indians, and Asians all over the world.
Non sequitur. Straw man. Red Herring.
You're usually a better debater than that.
