They cross the line when they start to support those who want to saw on my neck with a rusty knife because I'm a Christian. Christianity, Judaism, Atheism, to a large degree Satanism, Wicca, Don't give a Shitism, pretty much any other ism so far as religion goes, if practiced faithfully, can coexist and thrive under the constitution and law of the land. I'm sure there are probably others, but Islam cannot. True believes, not just radicals, but those that actally believes that their book is the right one, even if peaceful, cannot coexist with our laws. One reason, and one only. To follow Mohamed , to worship Allah, is to put his law above all others. Therefore, the law of the Koran trumps our constitution, and our local and state laws. Either you believe that, or you aren't a faithful Muslim. So, I have no problem with the Muslims that are non practicing, just go along to the Mosque and hang out with friends and read some in that old dusty book. If you truly follow the teachings of Mohammed, you can't coexist even peacefully, because you will vote for people and support policies that dismantle the constitution over time. It may not be "DEATH TO AMERICA" but it is 'death to America." The former by monstrous acts of bloodshed, the latter by a thousand tiny cuts, so that we die it's infection. The same can be said of communism. Which, oddly enough, Islam will fit into and work with. |

Everyone has to look at themselves in the mirror every morning.
To me the Westboro bunch act and look like asses doing what they do. Like I said, the funeral is for the family. I try not be prejudice against any race,group or religion. With the Muslims, I'm having to really force myself to not just dislike them all. I also know, that there are good and bad in every group of people. I'm also the type of person that if we know where the bad guys are, then they just " need to wake up dead " so to speak. The ones we are fighting will never change their minds or hate towards us, so to, eliminate them is about the only way for to stay reasonably safe. I think we do need to try to educate the children in some of these countries. That seems to be the only way to possibly break the chain of hate they have for us. So, seeing us protesting Muslim funerals makes us look like the extremist portray us. I believe in dealing with people that want to harm us just once. They won't be a threat threat then. I also believe in taking the high road whenever it's possible. |

The two things that are most dear to a human's heart are his belief in his god or lack thereof, and his belief in his "politics". Those are the cornerstones of a person's being.
Religion ( belief or disbelief system ) and Politics both start shitstorms epic proportions when they are merely argued. Now, Islam is not only a religion, but it is a political system as well. You are not only messing with one cornerstone , which can be a shock, but both, which is pulling the foundation of everything that a human mind believes. That is why it is not compatible with our constitutional laws, and is nearly impossible to get a true believer or adherent to accept any higher authority. It is completely incompatible with a secular democracy, and has been ruled so in a number of Muslim countries, one, Turkey, in 1998. |

Multiple posters in this thread are arguing that we are racist and hate all muslims because we don't believe that these two terrorists should be given the honor of a memorial service. Does it not say something that this particular church is even willing to host his funeral? Does it not say something that his parents are even considering having a service in public, instead of something private and low key? Does it not say something that other people are willing to attend this service despite everything this man has done? I'm not saying "anyone who goes to the funeral gets deported in a vat of bacon grease!1!1!l" - I'm saying that if this family wanted respect, dignity, and consideration, they wouldn't have elected to do the above. The Muslims are strangely quiet....typical |
