    They have a lot of ambition, actually. Look at what they're doing in Europe. But yes, they are a tiny minority still in the US and can only advance their agenda with the help of left-wing apologists and enablers (in exchange for votes).

    Democracy is being weaponized by the left. They are flooding Western countries with people who use democracy to get what they want until such a time arises that they have enough political power to eliminate democracy, or at least the type of democracy that we would want to have in the West.

    I'm sure there's more than enough of you folks out there who are terrified of brown people willing to vote just so you don't have to see one in office.....

    I'd take this post seriously if I weren't aware that black people can also be Muslim, since both terms aren't mutually exclusive.

    You would understand if you had first hand experience..

    Ofcourse you are correct but it is just an abstract technicality..
    The vast majority of blacks are not muslims and they don't exactly like eachother..

    You all have a slobbering love affair for Muslims and you once again try to blame us for your agenda but I guess when you are the party that hides your true agenda you need to try to pin it on someone else, the liberal SOP.

    Actually, I dislike all religions. Adults should not have an imaginary friend.
    I do enjoy pointing out the hypocrisy of allegedly "christian" folk like the phony Pence, or Santorum the Homophobe.

    I want a chocolate, Almost irresistible every time we have one in the shelter.

    We can handle any religion in the legislature as long as we don't allow them to shred the constitution.

    It would be a game changer that's for sure. We will have only ourselves to blame if it were to happen.

    Living near the area(Western Detroit), the most neutral way I can agree with you is to confirm everything you've said here. Except the "no longer welcome" part, but considering I do my shopping and generally say nothing I guess I've avoided the politics of the area.

    Yes please. This would be a huge stepping stone to getting religion out of politics altogether in addition to making the politicians and voters in favor of it look like gigantic hypocrites. The more folks you can get to support this who've also waxed poetic on the Constitution, the better. Or where you planning on just getting rid of the 1st amendment religious protections completely?

    Islam is basically a theocracy and, the U.S. has a separation clause. That makes Islam incompatible with the U.S. If a Muslim want's to become an American citizen they ought to be made to publicly and legally disavow that part of their religion. Prayer rugs can harbor germs and diseases and could become an environmental hazard in public buildings. Crosses don't have that problem.

    I think your rug thing is more than a bit far-fetched as far as public health risks go(how about the health and environmental damage caused by the apparent resurgence in coal since Trump took office), and the rest of it doesn't matter because it's all protected by the 1st amendment. Good luck trying to argue that Islam isn't a religion as well, that's pretty much logically doomed to fail. You may not like the content of that religion, but you cannot logically argue that it ISN'T a religion. So if you want to limit Islam, you have to get rid of the 1st amendment protections for religion and I would welcome that to a certain extent because it would get rid of "get out of things I don't like" cards that religious folks like that Davis woman used to avoid doing her job.

    you don't know any Muslims there in your flyover country do you?

    Having Muslims , Jews and others would be an improvement over the cross grovelers

    So you mean a bit like handkerchiefs, shoes, clothes and towels should also be banned in public buildings?

    You think that handkerchiefs, shoes, clothes and towels don't "harbor germs and diseases which could become an environmental hazard"? I hate to break it to you but people wearing crosses can go into places like libraries and shops

    If that really is the case, they do not give much aid to the argument about how Islam is a religion of peace and most Muslims are peaceful...

    I can not support a Muslim. I consider them an enemy of America.

    Maybe Muslims just make better quality conservatives, more likeable, happier, amenable.

    Of course US conservatives are a lovely bunch at times, too, as can be seen here daily. Always friendly, always with the helping hand, patient, wise.

    Only one of the above is true.
