re: #440 Sharmuta

I have to disagree. Some of us oppose islamic extremism because of our position on individual rights and freedom of conscience.

We don’t care about race, so we’re not #1.

We’re not all Christians, so it’s not #2.

We support the free exercise of individuals, so we’re not #3.

I think it’s simple. Some oppose the islamization of the west because it’s the antithesis of our ideals as born out of the enlightenment. Other oppose islam because they’re bigots of one variety or another.

should Islam be opposed?….what about moderate Islam…how do you sort out Islamic bigots and what can you do with them
