Our mutual replying to broken up quotes is getting long and difficult to follow - I'm going to reply to some and leave out others
We are both presenting our subjective opinions here. If you now require an objective source - I can only say that the evidence is in the lack of evidence showing they are demanding any "special" rights or freedoms than are had by other religions in this country.
It is *you* who have decided I'm some kind of spokesman based upon you odd interpretation of my words. I have never claimed such a distinction nor would I.
No, it's a statement of fact. I do not rely on emails or hate sites on the internet for information on any religion. Most of your words could be regurgitated from Pamela Gellar's Atlas Shrugged - the equivalent of emails.
Yet Western Muslims seem to see this differently.
Again - you find the same "obsessive-compulsive" disorder in Judaism. So what? Like Jews, not all Muslims follow it to the nth degree.
True. Sort of. It allows for interpretation that could lead to genuine freedom and tolerance -
if one chooses that interpretation because there is plenty in the bible that does not allow for it.
I suspect, based on the Islamic faith in the west - a similar interpretation can be found.
There is much in the OT to support killing non believers and Christians have yet to reject the OT in it's entirety.
You are also grossly simplifying the teachings of Islam - Muslims who kill in "Gods name" are not necessarily following Muhammad's teachings and example. It very much depends on the circumstances, the particular sects etc. Your statement shows an ignorance of theology and history.
Bringing up a poll on what American Muslims think is "excusing yet another act of Islamic terrorism"? Seriously?
Hollie, you are pathetic. Your words are little more than a regurgitation of Islamophobic rhetoric. You want "objective sources" but when provided with such demand "subjective" responses. You claim not to be "interested" in (what you think) is my religion but brought it up in the first place.
I think it's clear it's a waste of time to engage in discussion because discussion is not what you are interested in. Sunni Man has by far the best response - he's not one to waste words
