re: #418 AlexM

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.
