re: #297 CuriousLurker

And you’re entitled to think whatever you want, as am I, however neither one of us is holding a political office. Considering the rhetoric that has been directed at Muslims lately, a long statement about someone’s faith when they’re in a position of political power makes me uncomfortable.

This part gives me pause as well:

Perhaps he sees Islam as a kind of “depravity” (he wouldn’t be the first). Which actions that “harm other men” and/or threaten human life and liberty”? The dreaded creeping sharia and/or Islamic supremacist 5th column? Maybe just teaching others about Islam or simply practicing it could be seen as a threat. I’m not spewing some paranoid bullshit, Dark, we see this type of speech every damned day here and you can find it in spades all over the internet, radio, and TV.

I know, and you’re right to worry. But I don’t infer such things without more evidence than this statement or even this guy’s bill provides.
