The Muslim religion radicalizes more American Christian conservatives than it does Muslims.
Why else are they so ready to eliminate freedom of religion, due process and the search and seizure laws?
Yeah, cuz we're the ones who bring lawsuits every time a PRIVATE business puts up anything pertaining to the birth of Jesus in front of their store during Christmas. YOU'RE the ones who don't seem to understand the words: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;". See, congress means FEDERAL government (individual states CAN have a state religion if they choose). This is because the England they broke away from forced everyone to recognize The Church of England as the national religion. Nowhere does it say "separating church and state" but you guys are so fearful of anyone professing Christianity (NOT anyone professing Islam or Atheism) in any public place. You simply can't handle anyone offending your tender sensibilities. How small and petty! But what else can you expect from mean, self absorbed, prejudiced people.
The part you seem to miss is "OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF"...you know, like someone putting a creche in the front of their store on their private property or telling the Army they have to scrape off the Bible verse reference a PRIVATE company uses as part of their model number. The Army COULD just order from a different company, but no, the government would rather infringe on the right of a private business to use whatever damn model number they want.
We're not the ones who, during one of those rat infested occupy protests on public property said a few people doing a live version of the Nativity don't have the right to be there. We didn't all but ignore the rapes that happened at occupy rallies. Christians keep their women down but rape at an occupy rally (which is violence toward women...a cause you're continually giving lip service to) MUST be swept under the rug and absolutely not reported because it will harm "the cause". Some of you champions of women actually deny they even happened, despite what those women say.
We're not the ones who no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance in school because it has the "G" word in it but think it's just peachy to teach kids to say the same pledge in Arabic. We're not the ones who remove any reference to Christmas or Easter from the school's vocabulary even IF those holiday tradition wouldn't exist otherwise. We're not the ones who send children home from school because they're wearing a shirt celebrating their Christianity (with absolutely NO negative message about any group of people) because it MIGHT offend someone, while not just allowing, but practically drooling over, anyone with a t-shirt professing support for a LIBERAL cause. They're just exercising their freedom of speech after all. For some strange reason, the Christian student isn't allowed to do the same. Can't imagine how you'd handle a gay student wearing a Christian t-shirt (gay Christians DO exist).
And we're definitely not the ones who object to students carrying a PERSONAL Bible in their backpack at school. Bet the Koran or a book that worships Gaia or some other Pagan god wouldn't be given a second thought. We're not the ones forbidding Christian children to pray in school but allow Muslims a special place and time to worship Allah.
We're not the ones who encourage our members to blow up people who have done nothing to them and then expect the people of said country to feel guilty and try to figure out how and why we offended them, instead of blaming the ****ing bombers. In fact, except for a few nutcases who decided to kill abortion doctors, which Christian loudly condemned, (as much as you'd like to believe it McVeigh was NOT a Christian) we've not done any violence to anyone. We've NEVER blown up or flown airplanes into buildings with the goal of killing as many people as possible. Well, but I guess some Christians have used their freedom of speech to object to gay marriage because it goes against their Christian beliefs. Because we all know that's as radical and violent as flying planes into buildings full of people or bombing an event where lots of people are attending and deliberately making sure that bomb was as close as possible to an 8 year old boy.
Nor are we the ones debating whether the police should barge into private homes to take arms, a right DELIBERATELY included in the Bill of Rights while skipping over the pot, stolen TVs, meth labs or anything that's actually illegal. We're not the ones trying to gut the 1st & 2nd Amendments. You, however, are doing every thing you can to take away a Christians right to free speech in public places that are supposed to be open to ALL citizens to express themselves. We aren't the ones trying to restrict (and eventually completely taking away) a citizen's 2nd Amendment right to "keep and bear arms". Because
Lord knows (sorry, Gaia knows) it's better to take away a right that you don't believe in rather than just decide to "live and let live". Kinda like what you tell people who object to gay marriage (the majority of the country, evidently) and legalizing drugs to do.
Hypocritical Bitches!
